New chef at Fairlawns is a purist – with a twist…

Fairlawns Boutique Hotel & Spa in Sandton welcomes its new Executive Chef, Keith Frisley, who specialises in elegant cuisine to complement this award-winning boutique hotel, reminiscent of old Europe.

Having paid his dues, working as apprentice chef at the Hilton Hotel group and achieving his Academy of Chef Training Programme Certificate, Keith cut his teeth on cooking on South Africa's mainline long distance trains, such as the Trans-Karoo, travelling as far as the Victoria Falls.

He further enjoyed local as well as international acclaim in cooking competitions such as a gold medal in first place in the Golden Hat Chef in South Africa, a certificate from the Chain de Rotisseurs in SA and 2nd place as Team Johannesburg in Austria, achieving double gold.

Keith worked for the Monarch Hotel from 2006 until 2010, where he was Executive Chef and developed a special liking for boutique hotel dining, where a caring chef is able to gauge the special dining needs of discerning guests through interaction.
"With my penchant for classic French cuisine with a modern twist but unfussy presentation, I'd like to think our guests will appreciate special attention to their dining needs at Fairlawns," he says.

Keith further states that purist cuisine is about guests knowing what they're eating, yet enjoying the presentation, followed by the fine textures and tastes of specialised cuisine. He finds this stance has earned him the respect of mature guests, whilst also attracting new, discerning young diners.

He comments that South Africans have become highly sophisticated in travel and cuisine, and he is looking forward to creating a fine dining destination at Fairlawns, not only focusing on business and leisure guests but also for local residents wanting to enjoy a special breakfast, lunch or dinner at this established award-winning 5-star boutique hotel in Sandton.

Travel & Design News Release: August 2010

Fairlawns celebrates spring with 20 new suites as well as delectable special packages and attractions!

The Fairlawns Boutique Hotel & Spa refurbishments and new suites are now complete and the positive response from guests experiencing the new facilities at this privately owned and managed property has been overwhelming.

Says Michael Kewley, General Manager at Fairlawns: "The owners realised the hotel needed to be enlarged as well as refurbished, yet still retain its intimate and tranquil ambience. They appreciate the importance of eco-tourism and have gone out of their way to utilise eco-friendly design and building materials.

"The 20 new suites are individually decorated to lend a unique feel to every suite, whilst still retaining the warmth and beauty of the luxurious fabrics and collectables favoured by Anna Thacker, who together with her husband and co-owner of Fairlawns, John Thacker, have used their experience of internationally revered homes and hotels in Italy and the UK to reflect their own individual style of design and decor splendour."

The timeless essence of the Palladian design at Fairlawns has been updated in hospitality areas such as The Terrace Restaurant, which now has a cosy open fireplace, ideal for winter dining and cooler spring evenings. The restaurant still provides diners with tranquil vistas of the timeless gardens, offering options of glass paneling to create an all-weather dining haven, whilst the white leather furnishings, elegant chandeliers complementing the outdoors, and new dining options make for a major dining attraction for residents as well as non-residents at the hotel.

The Plascon Evolution premium products, manufactured and tinted on a made-to-order basis using unique solvent-free colourant technology, were used and exceed all green building requirements. The triple-glazed windows complement the solar heating systems providing under-floor heating and hot water to all the new suites of the Grand Chateau.

The furniture in the new suites is part of the Thackers' bespoke private collection, sourced locally as well as internationally, often lovingly restored by masters of their craft.

The new Grand Chateau suites at Fairlawns Boutique Hotel & Spa are mostly named after cities visited by the owners. Anna decorated the hotel and suites 13 years ago as well as the new suites and improved features of this 5-star haven.

The new suites include:
Madrid: "We enjoyed the beauty of the classical architecture and opulent interiors which exceeded our expectations of elegance in Spanish interiors. Quite classical but not necessarily as dark and heavy as I had expected them to be", says Anna.

Paris: "My favourite city in the world," she says. "I always think of sky blue somehow - no particular reason. Maybe because we've always been lucky and enjoyed beautiful blue skies when visiting the city. So many of the magnificent interiors were in that particular blue-grey colour so often associated with French walls and woodwork!"

Sydney: "It has been a while since I visited this city but I recall it as quite modern and edgy, especially the spectacular homes around the Bay with that Australian concept of wide expanses of glass, which complements the weather."

Mirambeau: "Here," she says, "I stayed in the most beautiful hotel room in the whole world in my opinion, Chateau Mirambeau, near Cognac, France."

Dempasar: "Bali is my favourite tropical paradise. Normally I don't like heat, bugs and humidity, but in Bali, everything was magical," according to Anna. Cameo Room: Says Anna: "Named after my favourite piece of furniture. If one could have a love affair with wood, this would be it - no pun intended!"

Shanghai: "China has fascinated me since childhood," she states. "I visited it briefly before it became as commercially accessible as it is today, so my interpretation probably goes back to a more traditional style."

Venezia: "Venice conjures up visions of Opulence with a capital 'O'. The wall frescoes, the baroque ceiling details, the rich fabrics, the mystery of the place with its little alleys and canals - all that to me is Venice".

Miami: "I visited this city as a teenager in 1970, and my memories of Miami, apart from the heat, was of the numerous art deco features in the city," says Anna.

Toulouse and Epernay: Here, Anna has captured the feminine and elegant touches of France again. "Limoges china, tapestries, silk and velvet fabrics, delicate colours, beautiful armoires, Louis chairs. Pity The Sound of Music wasn't filmed in France as I could have started singing My Favourite Things, when designing this suite," she smiles.

Vienna: "Romantic waltzes, culture, history and beauty spring to mind,” she concludes.
