Protea Lusaka Cairo Road, trading as Protea Hotel by Marriott Lusaka Cairo Road, stands at Plot 11A on Cairo Road at Katondo Street. Cairo Road is the commercial spine of Lusaka, so this is the most genuinely central of Marriott’s three Lusaka Proteas.
Best for
Business travellers who need to be on Cairo Road, and small meetings: the hotel runs two boardrooms and two conference rooms rather than a ballroom.
Location
Plot 11A Cairo Road, Katondo Street, Lusaka 10101, about 25 km from Kenneth Kaunda International Airport. Lusaka City Market and Soweto Market are close, and Arcades, Manda Hill and the National Museum are short drives.

Marriott runs three Protea hotels in Lusaka. This is the Cairo Road one, distinct from the Arcades and Tower properties.
Getting there and getting around
Cairo Road runs north to south through central Lusaka and almost every route into the city meets it, so the banks, ministries and markets are walkable. The airport is east on the Great East Road, about forty minutes in traffic.
Explore the area
Lusaka City Market and Soweto Market are within walking distance, and the Lusaka National Museum, the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Kabwata Cultural Village are short drives. For the wider area see our Lusaka and the Kafue Flats pages.
