The Protea Hotel OR Tambo is set in Kempton Park, minutes from OR Tambo International Airport.
Themed around an aircraft hangar, the industrial ambience of the hotel is felt in the polished concrete floors, steel finishes, chrome lighting and top-to-bottom windows that overlook the aeroplanes as they dock and take off.
Guests can enjoy fine fusion cuisine and delicacies at Protea Hotel OR Tambo’s vibrant à la carte restaurant, The Warehouse.
English breakfasts, gourmet lunches and dinners are prepared by the skilled chef and his team.
The restaurant echoes the hotel’s industrial aircraft theme with wooden shipment boxes that line the walls and aircraft parts that hang in strategic areas.
The hotel also offers a 24-hour room service which serves gourmet sandwiches, healthy wraps and a variety of other light meals prepared from the freshest ingredients.
Guests may order cocktails at the long, metal aircraft wing that is the bar, or sink into a comfortable couch and relax as they watch the aeroplanes cruise to the landing strip.
The lounge provides a peaceful setting, with WiFi access where business travellers can conduct informal meetings.
Enjoy ultimate relaxation at the hotel’s heated swimming pool with sun loungers built inside the pool.
Fitness enthusiasts can get their circulation going and make use of the contemporary Techno Gym equipment at the hotel’s 24-hour in-house gym.
