OVERVIEW ON PROTEA HOTEL GOLD REEF CITY IN CENTRAL JOHANNESBURG
Gold and the history of Johannesburg are intertwined. The discovery of gold in the late 1890s led to a gold rush by prospectors from all over the world to the area now known as Johannesburg. A mere 6km from Johannesburg’s bustling city centre lies Gold Reef City Village, a unique reminder of that bygone era. Centred around shaft No. 14, which was started in 1887, Gold Reef City is an inimitable combination of a theme park, a living museum of Victorian architecture and lifestyle and Africa’s most unique hotel – the Protea Hotel Gold Reef City. Each of the 74 rooms, ranging from standard rooms to the Market Heights Luxury Suites, combines elegantly appointed, classical Victorian décor with matchless comfort and style, yet discreetly includes modern features such as: En-suite bathrooms, air-conditioning/chiller, satellite TV, hairdryers, speed-dial telephones, internet access. All furnishings in the rooms were specially selected to reflect the charm and elegance enjoyed by the opulent residents of the 1890’s. Skilled craftsmen ensured that exact replicas of the antique furniture were created by hand, thus giving each item an authentic look. As the hotel is part of the Gold Reef City complex, guests have access to all of the facilities – gold mine tours, tribal dancing, can-can dancing, horse and carriage rides, fun fair rides, entertainment, shops, bars and restaurants, as well as the casino and Globe Theatre. The hotel has its own swimming pool with a cascading water feature and adjacent braai area. Other nearby sporting facilities include a gym, horse riding, golf, squash and tennis.
