Michelle van der Wethuizen has joined Fairlawns Boutique Hotel & Spa as sales manager, heading up the sales and reservations team.
Says Michael Kewley, managing director at the hotel: “Michelle joins us with 22 years of experience ranging from operations to hospitality sales and marketing, including the past eleven years focused on 5-star hotel sales in Cape Town with Starwood Hotels & Resorts and Taj Hotels, Resorts and Palaces.”
Michelle is looking forward to working with the professional management and team at the award-winning and highly respected Fairlawns Boutique Hotel & Spa, stating: “The boutique hotel and spa offers the ideal services and facilities suited to a sophisticated hospitality market, ranging from fine-dining to an award-winning Bali-styled spa, specialized conferencing and superior accommodation choices. The newly launched private Villa Residence is already popular with international celebrities and diplomats, and I intend to market this superb establishment’s many charms far and wide.”
Nestled in the lush suburb of Morningside Manor, Sandton, Fairlawns Boutique Hotel & Spa is recognised as one of the most beautiful, romantic and exclusive hotels in South Africa, with recent accolades including:
- Best Luxury Wellness Spa 2014 in South Africa;
- TripAdvisor global travellers 2014 rated Fairlawns one of the top three luxury hotels in Sandton and one of the top 23 hotels in South Africa;

The hotel recently launched its Private Villa Residence as well as the new Victoria Tea Lounge as part of its 2014 expansion plan. The 43 opulent suites and Presidential Suite complement the timeless Palladian architecture. The Meetings and Banquette Centres offer ideal conference and meeting facilities.
Fairlawns accommodates both local and international guests, corporate and leisure, all of which seem to regard the hotel as their private sanctuary when in Johannesburg. Apart from the marvelous cuisine on offer in the Terrace Restaurant, which is open to non-resident guests, the Balinese Spa, complete with fully equipped gym and private Spa Villa, is also available to day visitors who want to enjoy any of the varied beauty and wellness treatments and packages on offer. The private Bali-inspired Spa gardens, with the sound of running water and birdsong, are a true restorative for the soul, if even for an hour or two.
Golfers are never disappointed as Fairlawns has a partnership with the nearby Johannesburg Country Club, which offers two world-class golf courses.
