The Protea Hotel Edward is adding 30 new rooms to its existing 101 rooms in a renovation process that will take approximately six months.
The new additions will comprise of 27 standard rooms, two family rooms and one suite.
General manager Werner Geere says the construction work will take place between 9:00 and 16:00 on weekdays, and will be completed before Christmas and will thus not inconvenience guests nor impact the overall experience.
Danny Bryer, director of sales, marketing and revenue at Protea Hotels says demand for quality accommodation in this beachfront location has prompted the owners, Hospitality Property Fund (HPF), to invest in property by adding more capacity with these new rooms.
“KwaZulu-Natal’s beaches and Cape Town are still the main draw cards for domestic tourism and during peak times such as the Christmas – New Year period we’re experiencing massive demand,
“Travellers know they will experience quality service and standards at Protea Hotels, so it would be illogical not to try to service this demand with additional rooms,” he adds.
