According to Marriott International Middle East & Africa president Alex Kyriakidis, the opening of the hotel under the Protea Hotels brand showcases Marriott’s focus on expanding its own footprint, as well as Protea Hotels in strategic growth areas within Africa.
It will feature a large restaurant, bar and lounge, terrace and pool area, along with a gym, and Wi-Fi connectivity.

"The approach we take at Protea Hotels is to offer modern design and consistent amenities with a unique blend of global standards combined with proactive and personal service so every guest feels important and appreciated."
