Protea Hotel Fire & Ice by Marriott, Cape Town

Part of Marriott's Protea brand, Fire & Ice leans into a modern, high-energy identity — set at the foot of Table Mountain in the City Bowl, a few minutes' drive from the cableway and walking distance to Long Street.

Updated 8 August 2026 · Part of the Stay guide

Location

Sitting in the City Bowl's Tamboerskloof area at the base of Table Mountain, Fire & Ice is close enough to the cableway's lower station to reach it in a short drive, and within walking distance of Long Street and Kloof Street's restaurant and bar scene — see our nightlife guide for what that area is actually like.

Style

The hotel leans into a deliberately modern, high-energy identity rather than traditional hotel formality — a communal table concept for dining, a lively bar, and compact, trend-focused rooms. It's part of Marriott's Protea portfolio, a well-established South African hotel brand.

Who it suits

A good fit for travellers who want to be close to the City Bowl's nightlife and Table Mountain without paying Atlantic Seaboard prices, and who don't mind a smaller, more youth-oriented room in exchange for the location and energy. Less suited to those wanting a quiet, traditional hotel stay.

Note: Amenities, room categories and current rates change over time — confirm current details directly with the hotel or your booking platform before reserving.
