The Westcliff, Johannesburg

A low-rise 80-key Mediterranean-village property on eight acres of hillside garden in the Parks neighborhood, RSL Architects-renovated and reopened under Four Seasons in 2014 — JACKET Interiors and Blacksheep handled the design, with Flames running the South African signature kitchen. Eleven-room spa includes Après-Spa, the city's only outdoor spa lounge. The hillside vantage has made it the city's default safari-departure base.
