You religiously follow every single Orlando Pirates match and even have memorabilia of the club gathering dust at home, so spending a night in a Orlando Pirates-themed hotel room is the obvious next step to take if you want to proof that you are the ultimate fan.
Earlier this week, Marriott International announced that they have created Africa’s inaugural Orlando Pirates-themed hotel room at their Protea Hotel Fire & Ice! property.
According to their statement, the immersive offering brings football enthusiasts and dedicated followers of the legendary club an extraordinary opportunity to fulfil their dreams.
Latoyah Mei, a highly regarded interior designer, has painstakingly designed the Orlando Pirates-themed room, meticulously capturing the essence of the team’s rich legacy and enduring success.
The room showcases the iconic black and white stripes that have become synonymous with the club, radiating an air of refinement. Guests will be welcomed by tastefully crafted furniture adorned with black metal accents, flawlessly harmonising with the distinctive colours of Orlando Pirates.
The atmosphere is further elevated by the presence of inviting wood elements, ambient lighting, and modern monochromatic patterns, creating a luxurious ambience.

Sean Maher, the Market Vice President of South Africa at Marriott International said they already have plans for additional themed rooms across the country, promising even more exceptional experiences for guests.
Thandi Merafe, the Media Director of the Club, also conveyed her immense pride in the collaboration.
“Orlando Pirates is an iconic brand, not only in South Africa but also across the African continent and beyond. The Skull & Crossbones were a symbol of hope during the apartheid era, and Orlando Pirates continues to inspire hope for all our people,” said Merafe.
