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.

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.

Yes it is Melrose Arch but this hotel is not well take care of. Smelly and smoky corridors, old and worn out furnitures shows that no one cares anymore. Staff are great but I was very disappointed. Maybe they will get their act together once the new Marriott opens up right in their face!!!!!
