Orlando Pirates - Yours in hospitality

Marriott International Orlando Pirates

Marriott International has just announced the launch of a ground-breaking room addition to its portfolio. It’s true, they now officially have an Orlando Pirates F.C. themed hotel room and bookings are now open.

Local interior designer, Latoyah Mei has worked with Protea Fire & Ice! by Marriott Johannesburg Melrose Arch to bring football fanatics an immersive experience. In fact, the room captures the essence of the team’s legacy and success over the years. It echoes the legendary black and white stripes of the club, which is complemented by black metal accents. In addition, the ambiance is enhanced by warm woods, ambient lighting and contemporary monochromatic prints that add a touch of lux.

Furthermore, the room also transports one back in time and ignites a sense of pride. It holds a captivating mural of legendary players, as well as carefully curated football memorabilia. You’ll also be impressed with the innovative way in which stadium lighting is integrated into the flooring of the room. Plus, the Vilakazi street tower signage has been repurposed as a functional bag and coat holder. It’s authentic and charming, to say the least.
