Protea Hotel by Marriott Bloemfontein Willow Lake
Overview & Capacity
Willow Lake is the Marriott-branded residential option in Bloemfontein - two meeting rooms to about 112, but 94 bedrooms and backup power, on the leafy zoo grounds in the Willows near the stadium. The meeting capacity is modest, so its real value is as a residential base: house the delegation, run smaller sessions on-site, and use the setting to soften a multi-day agenda. Reviews swing, so B&W checks the current standard. For a mid-small conference where the bed count and brand reliability matter more than a big plenary, it's a solid Bloemfontein pick.
