About Us
Our name was inspired by the owner’s passion for champagne and her favourite, Veuve Clicquot. The Clico Guesthouse strives to deliver service and facilities on a par with the celebrated and exclusive French beverage.
We want our guests to feel spoilt. Everything is centred around this, from the luxurious bathrooms, to the extra-length beds, plush cushions, exotic fabrics, fresh-cut flowers, and delicious French cuisine.
Officially opened in June 2006, Clico is perfectly situated in the leafy, central Rosebank, an upmarket suburb of South Africa’s commercial centre, Johannesburg.
Housed in a 60-year old Cape Dutch house, Clico is an engaging mix of old and new – from the original Oregon pine floorboards and antique inlaid-wood side tables from Morocco, to custom-made, comfortable couches and the modern, whimsical sculptures by Anton Smit.
Clico was the idea of owner Jeanette Schwegmann and chef Sean Ackermann, who realised the need to cater for the travel-weary, discerning guest in need of personal attention.
Clico is poised to cater for upmarket corporate guests as well as leisure-seeking tourists. Whether you’re after wireless internet from a plush armchair, or a perfect martini made with Tanqueray gin after a tour to Soweto or the Cradle of Humankind, we’re here to indulge you.
