Four Seasons Johannesburg Awarded Condé Nast Traveler Triple Crown

This week, the Four Seasons Hotel The Westcliff Johannesburg was honored with the inaugural Condé Nast Traveler Triple Crown. This new distinction acknowledges hotels that have consistently appeared on the publication’s Hot List, Gold List, and Readers’ Choice Awards over the past three decades.

Perched above Johannesburg's urban forest, the hotel is structured around intimate courtyards and gardens. Its design integrates contemporary African aesthetics with the natural environment, offering a residential feel. Guest rooms and suites feature private terraces, while the property’s dining and wellness offerings are central to the city's social and culinary scene.

Martin Cody, Vice President and General Manager, expressed to WebWire that this recognition affirms the consistent quality of the guest experience at The Westcliff. He noted the Triple Crown reflects the trust placed in the hotel by its guests and the dedication of its staff.

The hotel's signature restaurant, Flames, is a standout, serving elevated regional cuisine prepared over an open flame on a terrace overlooking the city. WebWire reports Flames recently earned the Best Fine Dining Restaurant title at the 2026 South African Restaurant Awards. The Four Seasons Spa complements the culinary experience, offering a nature-inspired sanctuary with holistic treatments, an outdoor lounge, and panoramic views.

Our take: Johannesburg's luxury hotel scene rarely garners this level of international recognition. The Four Seasons The Westcliff has long been a quiet powerhouse, and this Condé Nast Traveler Triple Crown provides well-deserved, global validation for its enduring appeal and consistently high standards.
