Profile
Protea Hotel Midrand is one of Gauteng’s most strategically positioned 4-star conference and business hotels — a Marriott International property situated in Noordwyk Ext 20, Halfway House, on 14th Street, perfectly placed between the bustling cities of Johannesburg and Pretoria. Built in 1993 and part of the globally recognised Protea Hotels by Marriott brand, Protea Hotel Midrand delivers the professional infrastructure, elegant accommodation, and seamless service that busy corporate travellers and conference organisers require — complemented by the landscaped gardens, cascading waterfall, Koi pond, and Camelot Spa that make it equally appealing as a leisure destination.
With a large conference venue accommodating up to 220 delegates, 4 additional boardrooms and meeting rooms, 177 elegantly appointed guest rooms and suites, the Palm Terrace Restaurant, an outdoor pool, and a location just 6 kilometres from the Gautrain Midrand Station, Protea Hotel Midrand is the conference hotel of choice for executives and event organisers operating across the Johannesburg-Pretoria corridor.
Why Protea Hotel Midrand Is Midrand’s Premier Business Hotel
Protea Hotel Midrand occupies one of the most strategically valuable positions in Gauteng’s conference hotel market — midway between Johannesburg’s CBD and Pretoria, equidistant between OR Tambo International Airport and Lanseria International Airport, and adjacent to Midrand’s most significant business and retail landmarks. Gallagher Estate (home to the Gallagher Convention Centre), Vodacom World, Waterfall City, and the Mall of Africa are all within easy reach, making Protea Hotel Midrand the natural overflow and satellite conference hotel for major events at these nearby facilities.
The hotel’s foyer sets the tone for the entire property — a spacious, sophisticated entrance featuring Italian granite floors, cherry wood finishes, and a lofty glass-and-wood-rafted ceiling that immediately signals the 4-star standard maintained throughout.
