ANEW Hotels & Resorts has announced two new additions to its portfolio with the grand opening of ANEW Hotel Parktonian (formerly Protea Hotel by Marriott Johannesburg Parktonian) in Braamfontein and ANEW Hotel Roodepoort (formerly Protea Hotel Roodepoort) on November 1.
ANEW Hotel Parktonian will be the largest hotel in the group’s portfolio, offering 300 rooms and conferencing and event facilities for up to 400.
“ANEW Hotel Parktonian is a premium product ideally located to service the entire business node. The hotel is located right near the Park Gautrain Station, the Johannesburg municipality and the Joburg Theatre,” said ANEW Hotels & Resorts CEO, Clinton Armour.
The hotel also had incredible potential for combining business and leisure, added Armour. “The rooftop bar on the 25th floor and heated rim-flow pool are magnificent, while various other unique selling points set this hotel apart from competitors.”
Strategic location
ANEW Hotel Roodepoort is close to the N1 highway, linking it to various suburbs in Johannesburg, including Northcliff, Krugersdorp, Soweto, Sandton, Johannesburg CBD and Randburg.
“This location makes it easy for business travellers to connect to these key centres while still enjoying a peaceful and amenity-rich environment, complete with on-site dining, meeting rooms and WiFi connectivity throughout,” noted Armour.
Clearwater Mall and Cresta Shopping Centre are close to the Roodepoort property, as are Randpark Golf Course, Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens, Soccer City Stadium and the Johannesburg Zoo.
“We have some exciting things in the pipeline, including our first Western Cape property,” Armour said.
