Protea Hotel by Marriott Mahikeng (Cookes Lake)
80 Nelson Mandela Drive (Cookes Lake precinct), Mahikeng, North West 10–100 guestsRRR · Premium
Overview & Capacity
In a capital where venue options are thin, the Protea Mahikeng at Cookes Lake is the quiet professional: 99 solid rooms, three meeting rooms topping out at 100 theatre, Marriott systems, and the airport minutes away. It won't host your plenary — pair it with Mmabatho Palms or the convention centre for that — but it's where the VIPs and organisers should sleep, and where the pre-event board session actually runs on time.
