Fairview on 14th is Jo'burg's newest suite hotel in the fast-growing N-West

SET on manicured lawns over-looking the city's treed north-western suburbs, FAIRVIEW on 14th is Johannesburg's latest executive suite-type hotel, offering elegant, spacious, apartment-style accommodation.

Located in the Randburg-Fairland area where, with its booming business district and nearby Gauteng tourist destinations such as the Cradle of Mankind's intriguing Maropeng Centre, accommodation is at a premium.

Apartment-style hotels are becoming a popular & reasonably-priced accommodation alternative and FAIRVIEW on 14th is only 15 minutes from Lanseria Airport and 40 minutes from OR Tambo International (20 minutes to Sandton; 30 minutes to Jo'burg's CBD).

Staying at FAIRVIEW on 14TH is rather akin to lodging in a friend's stylishly-appointed apartment complete with a fully-fitted, granite-topped kitchen, plasma TV (with all the DStv channels, from CNN to Disney), home theatre surround sound speaker system, tiled lounge, classy bath-room finishes and a patio. In each of the 50 spacious, two bed-roomed apartments (25 of which also include an upstairs loft with Wi-Fi), under floor heating and a broadband internet connection are standard.

And if eating in seems too much of a schlep, no guest need despair as FAIRVIEW on 14TH also allows for the option of dining at Diner on 14th Restaurant, an easy-going deli-style eatery (open for breakfast, lunch and dinner) with exhibition kitchen and a light interior ambiance created by elegant Kalahari mosaic tiles. Along with 24 hour room service & reception, other facilities at FAIRVIEW on 14TH include a business centre, swimming pool and secure lock up garages set within the tranquil grounds.

Certainly, with 2010 around the corner, FAIRVIEW on 14th is well-positioned to Soccer City (where the opening & final games will be played) and is a welcome new addition to the city's hospitality world, whether for business or leisure.

"Fairview on 14th is all about having a great experience – spacious accommodation, simple dining along with attentive staff and hands-on management," says Signature Hotels' Glyn Taylor.

FAIRVIEW on 14TH is the first Johannesburg property in the portfolio of Signature Hotels, a collection of upper end properties whose architectural style, services offered and location all dictate brand affiliation. Other Signature hotels currently include Pretoria (Irene) and Franschhoek with new projects including Sandton, Cape Town, KZN North Coast, Madagascar and Mozambique.

Introducing SIGNATURE HOTELS new Johannesburg executive apartment hotels

Signature Hotels have opened doors of two new hotels in Johannesburg, both centered on the executive apartment-suite concept which is fast becoming attractive for their spaciousness as much as for competitive rates without skimping on hotel facilities.

Fairview on 14th is located in Johannesburg's Randburg-Fairland area (15 minutes from Lanseria Airport) where, with its booming business district (MTN has its HQ here) and nearby Gauteng tourist destinations such as the Cradle of Mankind, accommodation is at a premium while the other, Hydro Executive Apartments is located on Sandton's Grayston Drive, close to the temples of shopping and office district as well as the landmark Sandton Convention Centre.

"Far from being the "last resorts" of the past, apartment-style suite hotels are not only good value for money but deliver on the home-from-home experience without compromising on the convenience, services & facilities you'd expect from a top-flight hotel," says Glyn Taylor of Signature Hotels. "All apartments have a sense of spaciousness – which work just as well for business people on longer stays as well as for families."

Set on manicured lawns over-looking the city's treed north-western suburbs, Fairview on 14th offers elegant, spacious accommodation with each of the 50 units containing two bed-rooms, fully-fitted kitchens (though an on-site restaurant Diner on 14th takes the schlep out of eating in), home theatre systems and broadband internet (some with WIfi). Other facilities include a business centre, swimming pool, 24 hour room service and reception.

Over-looking Jo'burg's treed northern suburbs, Hydro Executive Apartments (HEA), meanwhile, comprises 60 stylish one or two bed-roomed units, all with well-appointed kitchens, plasma TV, marble floors throughout lounge and dining rooms, classy bath-room finishes and a balcony over-looking the skyline. All have broadband access while there is also a handy, free laundry service, swimming pool, executive gym and continental breakfast service.

Fairview on 14th and HEA are the apartment-suite hotels in the Signature Hotels portfolio which currently also includes Pretoria (Irene Country Lodge) and The Villas at Franschhoek with new projects including Sandton, Cape Town, KZN North Coast, Madagascar and Mozambique coming on stream through 2009 and 2010.
