Protea Hotel by Marriott Upington
Overview & Capacity
The Protea by Marriott is the safe premium play in Upington: seven event rooms totalling 678 m², from an 8-seat boardroom up to the combined Kalahari rooms at 300 theatre or 200 banquet, all backed by Marriott-certified planners, in-house AV and 90 four-star rooms on the banks of the Orange River. Published rates and capacity charts make budgeting painless. It reads corporate out of the box — but the riverside lawn and Kalahari light give B&W plenty to work with.
