The Westcliff, An Orient-Express Hotel, Johannesburg Vacations, Honeymoons and Travel Packages Situated in the tranquil surrounds of historic Westcliff, The Westcliff Hotel’s cliffside setting makes for a unique resort-style layout with spectacular views over Johannesburg’s leafy northern suburbs.
The Westcliff hotel is a short drive from the many shopping malls Johannesburg is renowned for and just 22 km from Johannesburg International Airport.

Gorgeous roses, flowerbeds and lush greenery abound, making their home amidst charming cobbled pathways, courtyards and soothing water features.
