Protea Hotel Fire & Ice - Unique Modern hotel in Cape Town, South Africa

If you're looking for something different, you've definitely come to the right 3-Star Hotel. 

Swim around our Hotel restaurant ... the glass walls between our restaurant and pool, along with fantastic lighting, definitely draw a lot of interest. In short, stay with us and go with the flow of Cape Town city. Whatever your heart desires, you'll find it at this 3-Star Cape Town Hotel or we'll find it for you. This vibey, novel, sizzling accommodation establishment lies in the entertainment hub of Cape Town city. The Protea Hotel Fire & Ice! offers you a place to chill, a base from which to explore and a friendly place to call home at the end of each day.

Of course, we have the standard items you'd actually EXPECT to find at a hotel, the Restaurant, Lounge and Bar areas. Now although you expect to HAVE them there, you're not really expecting what you're going to find at this innovative Cape Town Hotel, so expect the unexpected when it comes to our wining and dining areas. Gourmet milkshakes and hamburgers are par for the course. All you need to know is that these 3 star areas are social and relaxed and you can forget about the china teacups, we're way past that.

The innovative Launch Pad, which will be available in July 2009,  will cater for your conferencing and banqueting needs. 

With a maximum capacity of 120 cinema style seating and 130 cocktail style, the Protea Hotel Fire & Ice! will ensure that your function gets the kick-start it needs! The 3 star Protea Hotel Fire & Ice! also provides a unique venue for innovative product launches.

Now our pool area - that's definitely a public space. The wall between the restaurant and pool is made of glass and is, therefore ... you guessed it ... see-through. We're not sure who is going to get the most entertainment out of the pool, the swimmers ... or the diners, but entertainment there will be. With fantastic underwater lighting and music, the ambiance of both the pool deck and the restaurant will be enhanced, whether there are swimmers or not.

Another fab outside area is A Cup (yeah, we know what you're thinking, but that's not it). We believe in telling it like it is and this structure really looked like a cup, so that's what we called it. A Cup is another "not so public" public space. This area consists of sunken seating surrounded by the round walls of the teacup, where you can hide from the world and share some poolside drinks with friends or people you'd like to make your friends.

Out of the ordinary

Aha, although we're talking public spaces here, not all of our spaces are all that public. Take, for instance, our Private Sound Room. Now here is a room you don't want to share with the whole world and his father. The Private Sound Room, as its name implies, can be hired out privately for your listening pleasure. Get together a group of mates and get blown away by the quality of the Bose Surround Sound speakers situated around the room to give maximum effect. The Sony LCD screen brings your viewing to life, whether it is wildlife movies, music videos or your own private holiday videos. And, because we never grow up, we have the latest in gaming technology with the new X-Box 360. The themed lifts and unisex restrooms will also have you talking about Protea Hotel Fire & Ice! for a long time to come.

Protea Hotel Fire & Ice! boasts 130 three star hip and happening rooms, each with in-room shower (yup, that's right, forget the en-suite, in-suite is the new thing. Don't worry, the toilet is still en-suite and we hope that that never changes.) We know that not many people get too excited about rooms (except the honeymooners), because there are so many other places you want to be when you get to vibey Cape Town, but most people at least want to know what facilities the room has. So, here’s the boring info stuff:

• An extra-length King Size bed or two single beds
• Bose Alarm clock radio
• A large Executive Desk with international electrical points and wireless internet connections
• An LCD flat screen television
• Tea/Coffee facilities
• Air conditioning
• Telephone (you expected that one, didn't you?)
• Laptop-friendly safe, with charger
• Complimentary limited wireless internet
