On 1 July 1984, the Protea Hotels was formed with an initial base of four managed properties which were controlled by Otto Stehlik and his partners: The Heerengracht and Capetonian Hotels in Cape Town, The Protea Gardens Hotel in Johannesburg, and The San Lameer resort on the KwaZulu Natal South Coast. At that time, the company was owned 60% by Bankorp and 40% by Stehlik and his partner, who were also directors of the company. Following a rapid expansion program, Protea Hotels offered accommodation right across the three-, four- and five-star spectrum. All the hotels were refurbished and upgraded and obtained a higher star-grading. Today, Protea Hotels is the biggest hotel group in Africa with the most extensive network. 1987 saw the Stehlik team buying out Bankorp’s share in the management and property companies. Thus, Stehlik and his six co-directors controlled 100% of Protea Hotels. A further 5 directors were appointed to the Board of Protea Hotels in 1994. Protea Hotels specialises in: Accommodation, Hospitality, Marketing and Management, Administration.

The hotel is situated on top of the hill at Techno Park, which has the most amazing views, so you will have a great scene. The working atmosphere inside the hotel is very good and 95% of the people you will work with is a real pleasure to work with. If you are looking to climb to the high echelons of power within this hotel, then you're at the wrong place. The senior management will be staying for quite a while, but lower level management is always open. Overall a nice place to work for. Season times, it is extremely busy, so make sure you can work long and hard.
Best companies to work for in the Hospitality sector.
