Katherine Lewis: New general manager for Protea Hotel Sea Point
Katherine Lewis has been appointed the new general manager for Protea Hotel Sea Point. She is the current general manager of Protea Hotel Bloemfontein. Lewis will be taking the reigns from long-standing general manager, Janneman Britz, who is transferring to Protea Hotel Fire & Ice! Cape Town from next month.
Originally trained as a chef, Lewis’ passion for hotels quickly expanded and, in 1997, she obtained diplomas in hotel management and public relations in Cape Town. She has experience across three large international hotel groups and has also worked across South Africa, as well as in Europe.
“We’re looking forward to welcoming Katherine to Cape Town and there’s no doubt that her easy management style and excellent guest relations will quickly endear her to Protea Hotel Sea Point’s regular return guests and attract many new ones,” said Mark Satterfield, Marriott International’s business leader in South Africa.
