Lords Bar relaunched

The Lords Bar at the Protea Hotel by Marriott® Johannesburg Balalaika Sandton, was recently relaunched after undergoing an extensive R2-million renovation.

Natalie Botha, general manager of the Balalaika, said: “With our comprehensive renovation, we have reimagined every facet of Lords Bar, breathing new life into its hallowed halls while preserving its illustrious heritage.”

Lords Bar celebrated 74 years this year and is a heritage bar and also showcases some of the key historic facts that went down in the first days of Sandton. The Lords Bar was one of the first bars in Sandton and welcomed the first ladies bar, which was not allowed back in the day. The official land where the Lords Bar was built was originally a unique tearoom, which welcomed travellers into Sandton, to trade for goods.

Guests were also able to experience the new look as well as the food and beverage menus available. The hotel also showcased the small changes to The Conservatory and Terrace space.
