Marriott Bonvoy to spoil the fans of Orlando Pirates

Orlando Pirates and Marriott Bonvoy have finally formalised a decade-long causal relationship that saw the hotel giant providing hospitality services to South Africa’s oldest football club.

The partnership will offer fans of one of the most popular clubs in the country and other football lovers and the media the opportunity to enjoy and experience the beautiful game through the discounted hospitality services that are offered by the group of hotels.

Speaking at the launch of the accommodation partnership with the Sea Robbers, Marriott International vice president of the group in South Africa, Sean Maher said all that fans have to do to take advantage of this offer is to download the Pirates App to book themselves into any of the Marriott hotels nearest to the football event.

“We look forward to harnessing the power of the Orlando Pirates brand to create some unforgettable moments that are inspired by the thrill and excitement of Orlando Pirates games,” Maher said.

“We are excited as a club to be associated with such an iconic worldwide travel programme offered by Marriott Bonvoy. We are equally humbled by the gesture to become the first sports club partner on the African continent and join the list of renowned sports brands that are already associated with the programme.

“We will strive to unlock some great experiences for the Orlando Pirates fans throughout this relationship,” said media marketing director at Orlando Pirates Thandi Merafe.
