Protea Hotels expands Pretoria footprint

WHETHER it’s the ear of government or the heart of Loftus you’re seeking, the place to stay while doing it is the brand new Protea Hotel Hatfield, which opens its doors to the public for the first time on 07 June, 2010.

“This property is another great example of the new generation Protea Hotels,” commented Danny Bryer, Sales, Marketing and Revenue Director; “120 contemporary designed rooms, free wi-fi; access to retail and restaurants with the benefit of undercover parking are just some of the Protea features ideal for business and leisure travellers alike.” The rooms have been designed with business travellers in mind with features such as writing desks, direct-dial telephones, laptop safes, full satellite LCD television and video on-demand. The hotel provides all-round excellent service. If you’re making an early start, staff will be waiting at 6am to provide you with a scrumptious breakfast.  .

If you’re travelling with your family and want an evening out in trendy Hatfield, the hotel provides a babysitting service. And for foreign travellers, hassle-free currency exchanges in the safety of your own hotel.

The upmarket suburb of Hatfield has become known as the home of embassies and is conveniently situated just outside the city centre. This puts the Protea Hotel Hatfield in easy reach of most state departments and the seat of South African government, the Union Buildings, is just three kilometres away.

The Protea Hotel Hatfield is the perfect home base if you’re travelling to northern Gauteng following your favourite sports team, with Loftus Versfeld (Pretoria’s official 2010 World Cup stadium), Supersport Park and the University of Pretoria within striking distance.

The hotel provides a venue ideal for conferences, training or strategic sessions which accommodates up to 60 delegates. The hotel is also conveniently situated for attending seminars and the like at the University of Pretoria, the CSIR Conference Centre and the High Performance Centre .

The hotel is within easy walking distance of restaurants, entertainment venues, a shopping centre, bus routes, a 24-hour medical centre and the soon-to-open Hatfield Gautrain Station.
