Travellers looking for a sophisticated tipple will love the new-look Lords Bar at the Protea Hotel by Marriott Johannesburg Balalaika Sandton in South Africa.

This luxurious watering hole emerges from an extensive renovation in time to proudly celebrating its 74th year of legacy.

Situated in the heart of Sandton Central’s financial district, across the road from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and in close proximity to the Gautrain station and Sandton City, Lords Bar has undergone a breathtaking transformation, retaining its illustrious heritage while embracing timeless elegance.

Originally established in the 1950s as a countryside tearoom, providing a cherished stopover between Joburg and Pretoria, the Protea Hotel by Marriott Johannesburg Balalaika Sandton has a history that predates the flashy skyscrapers of Sandton’s business district.

With the completion of the comprehensive renovation, Lords Bar has been reimagined to offer an ambiance that is both classic and contemporary, captivating guests from the moment they step inside. The bar stands as a testament to the history of Sandton, having been one of the area’s first bars and pioneering the concept of a ladies’ bar in a time when such establishments were rare.

The redesigned Lords Bar boasts a sophisticated ambiance that appeals to both locals and travellers alike. Guests can revel in the rich history of Sandton while indulging in handcrafted cocktails, fine wines, and a curated selection of beverages.
