Since our 4-night stay at Christmas, The Residence ranks in the top our all-time favourites hotel list. Such a wonderful place. The experience started at the airport, where we were pickup by a very friendly driver (cold towels, bottled water and a welcome letter included). The hotel itself feels so intimate and quiet.... every corner is to be explored and has a very homy feel. The bar, the restaurant, the terrace and pools.... we tested everything and were very satisfied. Breakfasts were really good and included even a fantastic MCC wine (bubbles). Besides a cold buffet, we could choose a hot dish from quite an extensive menu. Lunch and dinner were also very tasty and served by very professional waiters. We stayed in the penthouse suite, which has a massive terrace looking out to Rosebank, Melrose and Sandton. Note that pictures on their website were not up-to-date : the entire terrace is now covered (and not only the outside sitting area). As such, the jacuzzi (which we used daily) can be used also when it is raining... at the back of the room, next to the bath room is a second (smaller) terrace with an outdoor shower and a hot tub. We did not use the hot tub, since it has no view. The outdoor shower was nice though. What makes the residence so special is the intimate feeling of a true boutique residence and the well-trained personnel. Special thanks to Nosi, with whom I communicated long before our arrival and who was there during our stay and made sure to handle every request with the biggest smile and greatest efficiency ! One thing is for sure : we will be back !
