Vintage Hollywood glamour in an edgy, sleek and modern setting is what makes the Protea Hotel Fire & Ice! in Melrose Arch the jewel of Johannesburg’s trendy lifestyle and business precinct. The striking architecture, interior design and vibrancy of Protea Hotel Fire & Ice! Melrose Arch are complimented by equally superior service. All 197 rooms boast the superior comfort and facilities demanded by modern corporate guests, many of whom are repeat visitors when on business in the city. Protea Hotels Group Marketing & Advertising Manager Nicholas Barenblatt said: “Protea Hotel Fire & Ice! Melrose Arch is for anyone who wants a unique hotel experience; it’s a genre, a new age take on affordable, comfortable and social hotels.” Opened in April this year, the hotel is proving to have a winning formula - already attracting large corporate clients, high end conferences and aircrews. Anton Gillis, the former general manager of its sister hotel in Cape Town, has taken over the helm and is making as much of a success of the Johannesburg venture as he achieved in the Mother City. “We are continually finding new ways to exceed our GUEST’s expectations and this is reflected by the many GUESTS who return on a regular basis.” Living up this philosophy Anton ensures that he is always available to assist hotels GUESTS in providing everything they have become accustomed to and expect from a superior hotel. With the recent addition of Executive Chef Vincent San, the Protea Hotel Fire & Ice! in-house restaurant offers a delectable new range of breakfasts, lunches and dinners, with a menu populated by traditional South African fare as well as gourmet burgers and designer shakes that delight the palate.

Conference facilities for up to 150 people equipped to the highest technological specifications ensures that this is also the perfect destination for business. -ends- |
