Satyagraha House is a boutique hotel in Johannesburg that offers a unique blend of history, tranquility, and luxury. Originally built in 1908, this historic residence was once home to Mahatma Gandhi during his time in South Africa. Now a beautifully restored guest house, it reflects the spirit of peace and simplicity that Gandhi embodied. Guests are invited to enjoy the serenity of the lush garden and the comfort of modern amenities, making it a perfect retreat from the bustling city.

The property not only serves as a place of accommodation but also as a living museum. Visitors are immersed in the history of Gandhi’s philosophy of Satyagraha, or non-violent resistance, with curated exhibits and spaces dedicated to this chapter of his life. The intimate setting and personal service create an atmosphere of warmth, making every stay a meaningful and memorable experience.

Good to know: A fun fact about Satyagraha House is that guests can explore not only the historical significance of the property but also take part in guided meditation sessions. These sessions are held in the very spaces where Gandhi once reflected on his principles of peace and self-discipline, offering a deeply spiritual experience.
