Easter at Protea Hotel by Marriott Johannesburg Balalaika Sandton is set up for easy enjoyment.
It’s the kind of place where guests can arrive with a loose plan and leave having ticked every box, from good food to a genuinely good cause.
Protea Hotel Balalaika keeps Easter straightforward: good food, flexible plans, and a chance to do a bit of good along the way.
- The day starts strong at Coffee on Twenty, where a mega breakfast plate and a double-shot coffee special set the tone. It’s a proper, no-rush beginning that works just as well for early risers as it does for those easing into the long weekend.
- From there, the options open up. Lunch at The Bull Run keeps things satisfying with a classic burger special, while the pasta and tacos tasting experience offers something more social and shareable. For guests looking to slow things down, the terrace menu brings lighter options like summer wraps or lemon and herb pasta, ideal for a relaxed midday pause.
- There’s plenty to keep everyone entertained in between. Kids can get creative with decorated cookie boxes, while quick grab-and-go sandwiches and juice make it easy to snack on the move. And for those leaning into the sweeter side of Easter, a milkshake stop is hard to pass up.
- As the day shifts into evening, Lords Bar becomes the natural gathering spot. With a three-for-two draught special, it’s an easy place to settle in, raise a glass, and let the conversations stretch a little longer.
What ties it all together is the their Easter Blanket drive.
Guests are encouraged to bring along new or gently used blankets, turning a casual visit into something more meaningful. It’s a simple gesture, but one that adds real purpose to the experience.
