I travel to South Africa two to three times a year, and have done so over the course of the past 20 years. I have stayed at the top and finest hotels in Johannesburg - the best of the best, and absolutely NONE can compare to 'The Great Gatsby' in terms of hospitality, comfort, ambience, decor, luxuriousness, and individual attention. The hotel is a gracious, completely restored mansion from the early 1920's. It has been beautifully and exquisitely restored to its original Grandeur. The mansion consists of 7 luxurious suites, each decorated in an individual tasteful manner, reflecting the aura of its original time. The rooms are not only STUNNING and SPOTLESS, but filled with exquisite antique furnishings from its individual era. The home itself is a work of art, akin to a museum. The history of the mansion is extensive, and one feels the wealth, graciousness, splendour, and finesse of those from the early 1920's who walked the passages of this home. The breakfasts were STUNNING and made to order. 5 course breakfasts. On fine china, cotton linen, and antique silverware, all on a grand stunning table which dates back to the 1800's as does all of the furniture really. Comparable to the BEST breakfasts in the world. Individual service that exceeded my experiences in all the 5 star hotels throughout the world that I have stayed in. The delicious dinners resembled nothing less than works of art. The host Gina - well there are no words to describe her. She could not do enough for me. She is the most refined, cultured, kindest, and SUPERB host. She served not only as a host, but as a concierge, recommending all that there is to see and do in the area. In terms of value, this is a joke. I cannot understand how such luxury can be presented at such a low cost, even given the great exchange rate with the American Dollar. Comparable establishments charge 10 times the price. Thank you for an AMAZING STAY Michael Kellen, Ph.D.
