Embassy Row’, where you’ll find our Courtyard Hotel Arcadia, is the perfect urban environment – it’s all beautiful old buildings, grand trees, spaciousness, and leafy gardens. The crowning glory is arguably the jacaranda trees, which blanket the area in a soft purple carpet every Spring.
The hotel is built around a lovingly restored, early-twentieth-century manor house and is the ideal spot for anyone with a love for history, colonial architecture, leafy and sun-dappled streets, high art, rugby, and politics. (So that’s pretty much everyone, right?) Some of the sights and attractions close by are:
Mahlamba Ndlopfu, the President’s official home
The arresting Union Buildings with their manicured gardens and fountain
The Pretoria Art Museum, housed in a Mid-Century Modernist building
The Loftus Versfeld Stadium, just one minute away, where sports teams have battled it out for over 100 years
The smart Gerard Moerdyk Restaurant, which serves traditional South African fare and is named after the architect of the Voortrekker Monument
If you’re something of a shopper (again, isn’t that all of us?) then you’ve got the following malls close by:
Eastwood Village (a cosy centre with classy eateries)
Sancardia Shopping Centre (known for its highly acclaimed restaurants)
Sterland Mall (the place to catch a movie)
Nedbank Plaza, Arcadia Shopping Centre, and the list goes on …
We won’t keep you here all day talking about the surrounding attractions, but you get the idea – whatever you want to do, there’s somewhere nearby to do it! OR Tambo International Airport is also just 45 km away. So if it’s true that real estate is all about location, location, location, then we think our Courtyard Hotel Arcadia has nailed it!
The Club Lounge located in our hotel provides a great opportunity for relaxation after a long day. The Club Lounge offers an assortment of delicious, generously portioned hors d’ oeuvres from our buffet-style offering and your favourite drinks from our bar. Club Lounge fare is available between 17h00 and 20h00 and can be included in your accommodation package for the duration of your stay.
