The Peech Hotel

It’s been twenty years since The Peech Hotel first opened its doors and in the decades later, this multi-award winning boutique hotel has evolved and expanded into a contemporary Johannesburg destination, offering afro-chic luxury across thirty-two rooms and suites set amid two acres of lush indigenous gardens.

In 2019, The Peech Hotel opened its fine-dining restaurant, Basalt, which has played host to a roster of acclaimed chefs over the past five years. However, starting on Tuesday, 28 January 2025, this stylish restaurant space will become the new home for The Pot Luck Club Johannesburg, welcoming both resident guests and Jozi locals for lunch and dinner.

A soft refurbishment of the room will meld the look and feel of the two brands to create a stunning new dining destination in the ‘City of Gold’, while lunchtime service will spill out onto al fresco tables amid the hotel gardens.

“I’ve always been a tremendous admirer of Luke’s food, and his approach as a restaurateur and chef,” says James Peech, owner of The Peech Hotel. “Marking twenty years in business was a turning point for our family-run hotel, and we wanted to continue the evolution of what we have to offer both travellers and locals. We’re thrilled to be partnering with Luke in this next chapter of our growth.”

“We’ve loved every minute of our time in Joburg,” adds Dale Roberts, who opened The Pot Luck Club Johannesburg in Rosebank in May 2023. “This opportunity came at just the right time, the urban energy of The Pot Luck Club is a perfect fit with The Peech, which is just such a sexy, gorgeous hotel. It’s one of my favourite places in Johannesburg, and a real hidden secret in Melrose.”

The final service at The Pot Luck Club in Rosebank will take place on… 14 December, which will also mark the last service at Basalt.

With head chef Ebie du Toit taking care of day-to-day operations and The Pot Luck Club’s group head chef Jason Kosmas working alongside Dale Roberts, diners can look forward to the same much-loved menu of memorable Asian-inspired small plates served in the sophisticated restaurant space at The Peech.

The final service at The Pot Luck Club in Rosebank will take place on Saturday, 14 December, which will also mark the last service at Basalt. The Pot Luck Club at The Peech Hotel will accept bookings from 16 December 2024 and opens its doors on 28 January 2025.
