Moloko AtholPlace Boutique, South Africa

Luxury Boutique with a Fresh Perspective

Part of the steadily expanding Moloko Hotels and Resorts stable, which is renowned for its superlative selection of premium luxury hotels and fine dining restaurants, AtholPlace is the epitome of understated elegance and offers a fresh perspective on business and leisure travel.
 
This cosmopolitan hotel takes its inspiration from the calming colours and rich textures of Africa and the fascinating history of the “dark” continent.
 
A fusion of different influences punctuate the graceful passageways and welcoming living spaces throughout the hotel. It’s an ecclectic mix of contemporary, art deco and Victorian, with nods to colonial and tribal muses such as steamer trunks positioned cheek by jowl with African artefacts. Antique furniture and stunning objets d’art from seeminly every style era are blended with sumptuous fabrics and traditional designs to create a uniquely classy and stylish identity.
 
 
And in homage to Africa’s rich natural environment, natural wood finishes and touches of rich mahogany, mocca and cocoa add accents to the neutral backcloth of cool grey and white. The end result creates a soothing, tranquil atmosphere throughout the hotel, from its plush reception rooms to the 10 individually designed guest suites.
 
The suites themselves make no compromise when it comes to luxury, offering crisp white percale Frette bed linen imported from Italy, duck-down duvets and soft, silky cushions. In addition, each suite has a range of top-notch facilities, including plush bathrobes and slippers, a 42-inch LCD flat screen television with DSTV and complimentary wireless and ADSL internet.
 

Moloko Hotels & Resorts

The accent at AtholPlace is on personal service in a warm and extremely comfortable environment, which extends effortlessly from the hotel’s gracious interior outside to beautifully landscaped gardens and relaxation areas besides a large swimming pool.

It’s here where guests are encouraged to unwind at the end of the day with complementary drinks and canapes, shrugging off the stresses and strains of the business day and surrendering to the hotel’s relaxed ambience.

Dining experiences at the hotel are beyond compare, with mouthwatering menu items prepared fresh each day in the private kitchen by AtholPlace’s in house chef. Sumptuous breakfasts, light lunches and dinners are served in the classically inspired dining area with its adjoining lounge, meals can also be served “all fresco” under the stars in the hotel’s secluded gardens. Complete exclusivity means that all of the facilities at AtholPlace are reserved for guests’ use only It’s hard to believe all of this is a few minutes from the bustling energy of Sandton City and Nelson Mandela Square, as well as the high-speed Gautrain metro rail service which connects directly to Oliver Tambo International Airport. Complimentary transfer services are included within the Sandton area.
