generalThe Protea Balalaika is a great choice for guests wanting to be in the middle of Sandton but looking to feel like they are far from the centre of town. With its gardens and beautiful pool and sun bathing area it's a perfect hotel to relax in. The Oval Coffee Shop is located in the hotel lobby and offers a variety of light meals. Cakes, pastries and specialty coffees are also available. There is also a business centre, lounge bar where guests can relax and have a drink and a state of the art fitness centre.

Both buildings of the hotel have sparkling swimming pools that are set in their own lush, landscaped garden, where guests can relax, unwind and momentarily experience the timelessness and calm of a bygone era.
