Marquard Hotel

The Marquard Hotel, located in Marquard in the beautiful Eastern Free State, is an example of life in South Africa during the late Victorian and early Edwardian era. It is furnished with antiques, giving it a unique atmosphere and elegance. The hotel features eight en-suite rooms, each furnished with antique copper and wooden beds dressed in percale linen, and lavished with ornamental cupboards, drawing bureaus, and kists.

The Marquard Hotel offers an u00e0 la carte menu to visitors, as well as regular themed functions such as offal evenings. Guests can enjoy their meals in the dining room, tea garden, coffee house, or the verandah. In Victorian times, the facilities around the bar area included a coffee house and a public and private bar adjacent to the coffee house. The coffee house can seat twelve adults and four children, with light supplied by three original Victorian candelabras that provide a soft, warm glow.

Time stands still when relaxing in the lounge, where guests can listen to soothing music, sip cocktails, or drink a cup of good old-fashioned Douwe Egberts coffee or Rooibos Tea. A bookcase in the lounge contains books from days gone by, which guests can enjoy. The existence of a hairdressing salon and barber shop at the Marquard Hotel is indicated by a revolving barber pole against the wall on the front verandah. Guests can make appointments to use the hairdressing facilities at the salon when booking their accommodation.

Visitors to the Marquard Hotel can expect to find warm hospitality and heartwarming surprises as they enjoy the accommodation and cuisine on offer.
