The Peech was originally a private residence built in 1950’s and a family home for more than 40 years. Purchased by James Peech in 2002, and first opening it’s doors as The Peech Hotel in 2004, the property has since been restored and developed to become Johannesburg’s most iconic boutique hotel, offering four different room types, two restaurants and lush gardens spread across two acres.

The Peech is located in Melrose, within 10 minutes of the main business and shopping nodes of Johannesburg.

Sandton, the city’s business & shopping hub, is ten minutes away. Rosebank (nearest Gautrain) & Melrose Arch are five minutes. Johannesburg International airport is 45 minutes by car.
