Botswana: Iconic hotel brand to make debut

Protea Hotels’ first hotel in Botswana is set to open in early 2018. Yesterday, the group announced that all agreements had been signed to begin its development.

The hotel will be in Gaborone, close to recently developed corporate head and government offices and retail facilities.

Comprising 160 rooms, it will feature conference, meeting and event facilities. The large ballroom can be converted into four meeting rooms, giving the hotel the ability to host up to eight meetings at any time – four in the ballroom and four in the other meeting venues.

Other facilities include a business centre, bar, restaurant, fitness centre and outdoor pool.
