A bit about this place

The atmosphere is relaxed, yet professional. The accommodation is luxurious, yet extremely affordable. It`s a resort in the city. It`s the Protea Hotel President. For business or leisure, there`s no better choice of venue. Most of the exclusively spacious rooms and suites overlook the Atlantic Ocean or Lion`s Head, offering facilities one would expect of a world-class hotel. Enjoy a cocktail in the Senate Bar or a sundowner on the Terrace. Then, let the Islands Restaurant tantalise your taste buds with sumptuous cuisine. At the Protea Hotel President, your comfort is our pleasure. When you`re not visiting famous Clifton Beach, the Cape Town CBD or the sensational V&A Waterfront nearby, you can relax next to the hotel`s large swimming pool or step into the hairdressing salon, or curio shop conveniently located on the premises. Once you have discovered its remarkable variety of facilities, impeccable service and consummate luxury, you will agree that the Protea Hotel President is without doubt the most eminent hotel on Cape Town`s Platinum Mile.
