Pretoria hotels: frequently asked questions

Why are Pretoria's streets famous in October?

Pretoria is known as South Africa's Jacaranda City: tens of thousands of jacaranda trees line its avenues and turn a hazy purple for a few weeks each spring, usually mid-October to early November.

Is Pretoria the same city as Johannesburg?

No. Pretoria is South Africa's administrative capital and sits within the City of Tshwane metro, about 55km north of Johannesburg, roughly a 45-60 minute drive or Gautrain ride depending on traffic.

Is Pretoria hotter than Johannesburg?

Yes, generally. Pretoria sits at a lower altitude in a sheltered valley, so it runs a few degrees warmer and drier than Johannesburg year-round, with hot summer days and mild, sunny winters.

Why are there so many embassies in Pretoria?

As the seat of South Africa's executive government and home to the Union Buildings, Pretoria hosts most foreign embassies and high commissions, concentrated mainly around Hatfield, Brooklyn and Arcadia.

Do these Pretoria stays offer free cancellation?

Most do. Every room shows whether it is refundable and the cancellation deadline before you pay.
