Protea Hotel Port Elizabeth Marine

With the ocean just outside and a rooftop pool, the non-smoking Protea Hotel by Marriott Port Elizabeth Marine is all about the sea, and also features an on-site restaurant. The non-smoking hotel has 114 air-conditioned rooms on seven floors; many of the units are fully furnished suites with loft bedrooms, and some have spectacular views to drink in while enjoying a room service meal. All have work desks and flat-panel TVs. Keep fit with a swim on the nearby beach, a dip in the rooftop outdoor pool or a traditional workout on the machines in the fitness center. The rooftop pool has amazing sea views, as does the hotel restaurant's al fresco dining area. Exchange money at the front desk and then find out the best place to spend it with help from the concierge. The hotel is located near the tip of the eastern portion of the South African Cape, right on Pollock Beach and about three miles from Port Elizabeth International Airport. Two miles south is Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University and that institution's adjoining nature preserve. Access to South Africa's National Highway 2, known as the Garden Route, is six miles north.
