Apogee Boutique Hotel & Spa

You stay at Apogee in Pretoria’s Waterkloof Ridge, a quiet suburb with views of the Union Buildings and the jacaranda-lined streets of the capital. The hotel holds six suites, each with Egyptian cotton bedding and a pillow menu. Fresh flowers and local art add texture to the rooms. A koi fishpond and outdoor pool sit in the six and a half thousand square metres of landscaped gardens.

The Tribute Restaurant serves local fusion cuisine, reworking South African flavours with fresh, seasonal produce. The dining room looks out over the city, and the bar serves drinks with the same view. Breakfast includes granola bowls and fully loaded options.

The spa offers treatments using local and international products, from skincare to manicures. The sauna is exclusive to guests, and herbal teas and artisanal coffee are served in the lounge. The hotel also has a business venue for up to sixty delegates, with a private boardroom for smaller meetings.

The hotel is close to Pretoria’s major highways, forty-two kilometres from OR Tambo International Airport and six and a half kilometres from the Hatfield Gautrain station.
