Overview & Capacity

The central Protea is the reliable-brand small-meeting hotel in Bloemfontein — three rooms topping out at 80, in Brandwag next to the High Court and the office district. Published 2026 conference rates land at R484 full-day and R430 half-day per person, both including a three-course lunch, tea/coffee breaks, standard AV equipment and a stationery kit. Private function venue hire starts at R2 500. Capacity caps at 80, so B&W uses it for board sessions, interviews and training near the CBD, not large-scale conferences. For a dependable central room at a transparent price, it’s the safe choice.
