Important information:

PROTEA HOTEL BY MARRIOTT STELLENBOSCH ANNOUNCES EXCITING ADDITIONS TO THEIR CONFERENCE FACILITIES

On 29 May 2023, Protea Hotel by Marriott Stellenbosch will break ground on an ambitious construction project that will add two new conference venues and a new executive suite to their existing conference offering.
There are already several compelling reasons why Cape Town is the #1 Convention City in Africa and why the Winelands, in particular, draws thousands of conference delegates every year, surrounded as it is by picturesque vineyards, rich heritage, gourmet cuisine and majestic mountains all within an hour’s drive from Cape Town city center. Now, there is one more.
“When our new additional conference areas are complete,” General Manager, Deleur Stander, reported, “we will have a total of 1500m2 of conference and exhibition space, making us the largest conference and exhibition facility in the Winelands … and this excludes our public spaces.”
The hotel currently offers 7 conference venues, 4 executive suites and 176 apartment style rooms. With the completion of this project in September, there
will be an additional 450m2 of meeting and exhibition space, an additional executive suite, bringing the total number of suites to 5, as well as beautiful new bathroom facilities. All of this will be undertaken by Isipani Construction, headquartered in Paarl.
At the same time, the Cultivar Restaurant is being refreshed, redesigned, and refurbished.
In addition, Protea Hotel by Marriott Stellenbosch, continues to pursue its Earth-friendly policy through the installation of 489 solar panels on the extended roof and carports, generating 322kw of energy which represents a saving of 341 metric tons of CO2 annually. The solar project will be undertaken by Viridis Ipsum Green Technologies.
During the construction period, the conference facilities at Protea Hotel by Marriott Stellenbosch will be closed, but rooms and Die Wingerd restaurant will largely operate as usual.
The hotel will be undergoing refurbishment and expansion from 01 June 2026 to November 2026 (main building), and from 01 July 2026 to July 2027 (adjacent outdoor parking area). While work will be limited to daytime hours, some construction activity may be visible.Please inform of your expected arrival time in advance. You can use the Special Requests box when booking, or contact the property directly using the contact details in your confirmation.
Payment before arrival by bank transfer is required. The property will contact you after you book to provide instructions.
Guests are required to show a photo ID and credit card upon check-in. Please note that all Special Requests are subject to availability and additional charges may apply.
A deposit may be required at the property.

Cons:

They are busy with building alterations - the restaurant is completely demolished. We were not informed of this.
We booked 2 rooms; firstly the rooms were in different buildings, then the second room's key card did not work, we had to drive back to reception only to be told the system is down they can only issue a card later - they opened a room for us with the master key and when we went to the opened room there were already luggage in the room; luckily the guests weren't there. Once again we had to contact reception only to be informed that the correct room is in a completely different building and also had to be opened with the master key.
A large tour group of teenagers were staying all around us and were really very noisy when they arrived back at the hotel after 12.00 at night; shouting, screaming, loud talking, doors slamming all around us.
All in all a very bad experience.

Could have been better.
Pros:

Clean and friendly staff

Cons:

I was here for just a night. I really did not enjoy my stay. The staff is great. That’s the best part for me.
I think it was a generator that went off consistently, or some machine that made good sleep impossible. There were also teenagers playing outside my window until late in the evening (I guess it’s school holidays), and significant shuffling and moving from the unit above mine. The WiFi also just did not work.

Other than inability to order food from room, my stay was great
Pros:

The room was quite comfortable and well furnished. The views are great and overall; the property is beautiful. The fact that rooms are not huge blocks like conventional hotels makes it homely. I love it!!

Cons:

The room service, didn't meet my expectation. for the entire 5 days I couldn't order food from the room because the phone line seems to be not working.
