Situated in the heart of the Tshwana Metropole, The Menlyn Boutique Hotel provides a 5-star hotel offering that is the industry\u2019s best in luxury accommodation, fine dining and premium conferencing.<\/p>\n<p>Formerly known as the Menlyn Guest Lodge, which was awarded the esteemed status of Best Guest House in the 2012 Tshwane Tourism Awards, renovations and re-branding exercises began on what is now known as the Menlyn Boutique Hotel, in June 2012. The intention was to transform the property \u2013 originally purchased from the Cuban Embassy \u2013 into a world-class luxury destination. This premium hotel caters to business and ambassadorial <a title=\"Travel to Pretoria, book flights online today\" href=\"http:\/\/www.travelstart.co.za\/lp\/pretoria\/flights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">travellers in Pretoria<\/a>, as well as local guests to their chic new restaurant, Black Bamboo.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/travelstartmu.wpenginepowered.com\/zablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/Black-Bamboo-Restaurant.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-30946\" title=\"Black Bamboo Restaurant\" src=\"https:\/\/travelstartmu.wpenginepowered.com\/zablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/Black-Bamboo-Restaurant.jpg\" alt=\"Black Bamboo Restaurant at Menlyn Boutique Hotel, Pretoria.\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we have really invested in is creating an experience,\u201d says Quintin Wiehahn, managing director of WH Leisure group. \u201cOur goal has always been to strike the delicate balance between relaxed leisure and comfort, and the professionalism and service that we have become renowned for.\u201d And the group has achieved just that, proudly opening its doors to rave reviews in August 2013.<\/p>\n<p>One undeniable benefit the prominent Menlyn Boutique Hotel offers its guest is their ethos of providing real value and adding a personal touch to all aspects of the hotel. It is this approach that has resulted into the hotel\u2019s impressive return guest rate of 90%, many of whom are frequent travellers to Pretoria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe really get to know our guests, and we have found that the smaller, more personal and relaxed experience we offer them is far more preferable to the sometimes stiff and intimidating atmosphere of a larger hotel,\u201d says Wiehahn. \u201cWe have created a hotel and restaurant experience that truly is a step above the norm, and our relationship with our guests is testament to that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Menlyn Boutique Hotel\u2019s 5-star facilities include fourteen beautifully designed standard rooms, two fully equipped self-catering units, nine spacious executive rooms, and of course, the remarkable Presidential Suite. The hotel\u2019s conference facilities can accommodate a variety of group sizes, from small, intimate groups to medium sized boardrooms and spaces comfortably holding up to 120. They also have a variety of appealing packages for functions to suit any event requirements, be it a birthday or a business function.<\/p>\n<p>Among the luxurious extra amenities that guests are able to enjoy are the fully equipped gym and a tempting assortment of spa packages.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe core of the Menlyn Boutique Hotel lies in engagement, on various levels,\u201d continues Wiehahn. This engagement can be seen from Menlyn Boutique Hotel\u2019s accessible and highly involved General Manager, to the friendly and attentive Black Bamboo staff. \u201cWe strive to really connect with our customers, always being proactive and available to them, as well as engaging their senses and encouraging a premium standard yet relaxed and enjoyable experience,\u201d Wiehahn concludes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WH Leisure Group is proud to announce the unveiling of their 5-star Pretoria development, the Menlyn Boutique Hotel.
