A refurbishment project is under way at the Protea Hotel by Marriott Walvis Bay, Namibia, to renew the décor in 26 rooms and the restaurant.

The work will take place in two phases, limited to the main building of the hotel. GM, Grant Januarie, says the first nine rooms are scheduled to be complete by late this month. “Work on the remaining rooms will start on January 12 and the target date for conclusion of the work is the end of February, which means that our end-of-year tourist period in December and January will not be affected at all by construction work.” Work on the rooms will take place between 08h00 and 17h00 daily.

Full services in the rest of the hotel will continue as normal and rooms in the other section of the property will undergo a similar refurbishment in November 2018.
