The four-month refurbishment of the Protea Hotel Kruger Gate is complete.
The refurbishment included the rooms, elevated walkways, conference facilities, restaurant and infrastructural changes.
The hotel rooms received a makeover, with a major focus on guest comfort. The beds have been replaced with luxurious extra-length bed sets and all the room furnishings were refurbished or replaced.
The rooms also now have comfortable multipurpose L-shaped daybeds that can double as children’s beds, and new insect-resistant window screens. Bathrooms were also redone and now feature spacious walk-in showers.
The restaurant has new tables and all buffet facilities have been upgraded. The lapa’s thatch has been extended and replaced.
“The bulk of the refurbishment spend has gone towards projects that reduce the property’s environmental footprint. The air-conditioners have been replaced with energy-efficient inverter systems, and the individual geysers in the rooms have been pulled out to make way for a central heat recovery, heat pump system,” said Protea Hospitality Group Operations Director, William Ford.
“The incandescent lighting systems have also been replaced with energy-efficient LED lighting, and room ceilings have been insulated to help regulate temperatures. The retrofits of lighting and water heating systems make sense not only from a sustainability perspective but also from a savings perspective for hoteliers who face ever-increasing input costs,” continued Ford.
Protea Hotel Kruger Gate is one of 20 hotels that form the first phase of a concerted portfolio energy sustainability drive across Protea Hotels.
