Vivari Hotel and Spa

by Mantis

A boutique city hotel with an integrated approach to wellness, incorporating holistic health, nutrition, fitness, spa and aesthetic beauty

Vivari Hotel & Spa, which is part of the Mantis and Accor hospitality groups, is now welcoming guests to its tranquil and serene facility in Featherbrooke, Johannesburg.

Vivari Hotel & Spa is the first of its kind in South Africa and on the whole of Africa as being the first 5 star hotel with a Dept of Health accredited day hospital which only focuses on cosmetic surgery.

It is 100% black, and largely female owned and is uniquely located close to the Cradle of Human Kind, Walter Sisulu National Botanical Gardens and Lanseria Airport. The pioneering boutique hotel, spa, aesthetic clinic and state of the art hospital is not only ground-breaking but one of its kind in the country in the field of health and medical tourism.

The hotel has the potential to reposition South Africa’s medical tourism and health sector.

A vision and concept of Dr Anushka Reddy, a well respected and award winning female doctor in the speciality of aesthetic medicine, Vivari hotel and hospital aims to put South Africa on the international map as an international destination of choice for discerning patients who seek privacy for their medical procedures. International medical tourists can inject much needed revenue into our economy through tourism and health.

South Africa has many good stories to tell and Vivari Hotel and Spa is certainly part of the good stories brigade!

Set in expansive and tranquil gardens , Vivari offers an integrated approach to wellness incorporating five elements: holistic health, nutrition, fitness, spa and aesthetic beauty.

The award winning spa boasts state of the art facilities and is the recipient of the prestigious international World Spa Awards for 2 consecutive years: Best Day Spa in SA and Best Day Spa in Africa for 2022 and 2023. The Spa promotes Kniepp therapy which treats the body, mind and soul of an individual.

The bamboo facing hydrotherapy suite includes a steam room, an ice fountain, a heated vitality pool and an infrared sauna cabin for relaxation and recovery. Guests also have access to a mineral swimming pool, yoga studio and gym.

The hotel has a resort like feel and has a total of 48 rooms with 3 suites and is spread throughout the property amongst gigantic Pecan nut trees.

The dining options include Brambles Restaurant which follows a farm to table ethos and serves seasonal menus with organic produce.

The Pécan Pool Bar offers more casual dining in the form of fresh salads, wholesome sandwiches and hand-stretched pizzas straight from its clay pizza oven.

There is a spectacular rooftop lounge and bar set within the giant tree canopy and offers a selection of classic and signature cocktails alongside speciality beers and other beverages and tapas.

The hotel has 3 conference venues which can accommodate between 120 and 150 pax each and is equipped with the latest audio-visual equipment. It is an ideal venue to host team building, seminars, conferences and strategy meetings.

The glass venue called Jala is located next to the Crocodile river and is best for bespoke weddings and celebrations.

The cherry on the top is Vivari Aesthetics – Institute for Surgical Excellence which boasts a state of the art hospital which is fully equipped with Vaser for body sculpting and liposuction, and Renuvion for skin tightening. The facility primarily caters for cosmetic surgery with a well known team of plastic surgeons. It is also the only facility in South Africa that will offer the Weight Doctors sleeve, a German concept which is a non surgical treatment for obesity.

To speed up the healing process, Vivari Aftercare caters for the busy businessperson and celebs, and provides hyperbaric oxygen therapy, IV nutritional therapy with high doses of vit C and most importantly lymphatic drainage massage.

The luxurious hotel rooms located closest to the theatre are dedicated to post surgical aftercare with ergonomic beds and 24 hour nursing care.

Vivari medical concierge is available to sort out all requests for international patients as well as for patients who have their surgeries elsewhere but wish to make use of the Vivari Aftercare facilities.

Hotel guests also have the option to have non surgical cosmetic procedures like fillers and Botox with the resident doctor, Anushka Reddy. With 20 years experience in aesthetic medicine, Dr Reddy offers safe treatments with minimal downtime and natural results.

The hotel is located a mere 15 min drive from Lanseria airport, 40 min from Sandton and Pretoria and 45 min from OR Tambo airport. Shuttle services are available.
