Protea Hotels expands with new development in Centurion

Johannesburg - Having identified growing demand for accommodation and conference and meeting facilities in the expanding Centurion area, Protea Hotels has announced plans for the construction of a new hotel with extensive conferencing amenities in the area.
 
According to the chief operating officer, Middle East & Africa, of Marriott International, Mark Satterfield, Centurion continues to develop as a significant business and government hub in South Africa,

"We have experienced an increase in demand for conference and meeting facilities from the corporate, group and conference markets. This trend is reinforced by the popularity of our nearby Protea Hotel Fire & Ice! in Menlyn, which opened last year and already has seen strong performance across these key segments,” said Satterfield.

With its 180 rooms of various sizes and types, including semi self-catering rooms geared for longer-stay travellers working on long-term projects or relocating, the hotel also offers conference and event facilities. All the meeting and conference rooms are designed for flexible use and can be split into smaller venues. Other facilities include a business centre and restaurant, fitness centre and outdoor pool.  

The new 4-star hotel, set to open in early 2018, will also cater to the sporting community with its close proximity to the international cricket grounds at Supersport Park. Being close to the N1 highway, the hotel is within easy reach of OR Tambo International Airport and Pretoria city centre, and with the Gautrain Station and Centurion Mall Shopping Centre nearby, it’s well located from both an accessibility and shopping perspective, according to Satterfield.
