The Leading Hotels of the World welcomes many new builds to its collection this year, while many existing properties complete renovations. Of the more than 20 new builds, one in Johannesburg, South Africa, stands out.

Opened in April, The Houghton is a lifestyle resort located near the business district of Johannesburg. It features a Signature Jack Nicklaus Golf Course, 168 acres of parkland, a spa and wellness center, indoor and outdoor heated pools, a sky bar and multiple dining options.

Catering to medical tourism in the region, The Houghton offers on-site medical specialists, including a plastic surgeon, physiotherapist and aesthetician. A general practitioner and pharmacist are on call. For this reason, medical suites are available.

For those not in need of any medical attention during their stay, the Rockstar Penthouse is already a favorite spot. The suite features expansive views of the surrounding parklands from a wrap-around balcony, a private pool, Jacuzzi, private spa, fire pit, three bedrooms and a study.

Even the lower-tier guestrooms are a luxurious experience, with beautiful park and piazza views, balconies, walk-in rain showers and free-standing soaking tubs
