The hotel

Like stepping into a black and white movie, this glitzy hotel’s a masterpiece in monochrome, oozing old Hollywood glamour with decadent décor details like geometric fan motifs and glittering mirrors. It comes with VIP extras like a swimming pool, and its location is simply Oscar-worthy – among the boutiques, cafés, and entertainment venues of buzzing Melrose Arch. The dining spaces at Protea Hotel Fire & Ice Johannesburg Melrose Arch transport you Stateside too, with gourmet burgers oozing tantalizing toppings and paired with velvety milkshakes, as well as sharing snack baskets and sliders, and cocktails fit for any Oscar night after party.

The staff at the hotel treated us like family. Hotel manager Tania, Nonnie, and the rest of the staff were absolutely wonderful. We visited during the beginning of the coronavirus and they were always very helpful with information and helping us figure out travel plans. There are many unique lounges, Apple computers, nice bar inside with outside seating near pool, good restaurant and room service, cool milkshake bar, and the best breakfast spread we had during our trip to South Africa. I wholeheartedly thank Tania and her staff for a great stay! Read less

We spent two nights there, standard room with bathroom with large shower opened to the bedroom, WC separate, not my favourite set-up. Medium size room (they're all the same), tacky black and white "Hollywood-stars" décor. Smaller hotel lobby, not easy for groups of tourists, or fills up when an airline crew moves in. In Santon, ultra secured area,… Read more

In Santon, ultra secured area, far from the centre of Johannesburg. We did room service for dinner, which was fine, and reasonably priced. I felt like a "wanna-be" hotel, décor probably cost a lot of money for a pretentious result. Read less

Excellent Hotel that is located in a great location that offers shopping and restaurants all walking distance away from the hotel. Rooms are comfy and average room size. Hot breakfast is available but sometimes it gets very busy and hard to order a beverage during peak times.
