Protea Hotel Parktonian All-Suite

Protea Hotel Parktonian All-Suite is a mid-range all-suite hotel at 120 De Korte Street in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa. Braamfontein is a student and creative district on the northern edge of the city centre, home to the University of the Witwatersrand, the Wits Art Museum, Constitution Hill and the Nelson Mandela Bridge. The Braamfontein Gautrain-linked Park Station is nearby, and the Apartheid Museum and Soweto are reachable by road. The location suits visitors who want to be close to the city's cultural and historical sites rather than the corporate hubs of Sandton. The hotel is a longstanding property with a practical, residential character, and its all-suite layout suits longer stays. Accommodation is offered as Studio Suites and One-bedroom Suites, each with a kitchenette, which lets guests prepare simple meals and makes the hotel popular with visiting academics, business travellers and families. Free Wi-Fi is available. Amenities include a pool and a restaurant serving breakfast and other meals, and Braamfontein has many cafes, bars and restaurants within a short distance. The hotel's suites give more space than a standard hotel room, which is useful for stays of several nights. Service is friendly and informal, in line with the Protea brand, and staff can help with airport transfers, city tours and local advice. The property suits business travellers, university visitors, and leisure guests interested in Johannesburg's history and street art. Nightly rates run from roughly R1,200 to R2,200 depending on season and room type, which is competitive for a suite-style stay. Visitors should take normal city precautions in central Johannesburg, using ride-hailing apps or hotel transfers rather than walking at night, and asking the hotel for current advice on safe routes. Constitution Hill and Wits Art Museum are best visited by day.
