Conservatories and Landings

A diverse number of dedicated conservatories and landings complement the meeting requirements of event organisers.

 

The convention centre's two multifunctional restaurants are the Strelitzia and the Jasminum. Both are accessible from several venues and the exhibition halls and are adjacent to the Clivia, Strelitzia and Jasminum conservatories.

 

The spacious conservatories are flooded with natural light and surrounded by indigenous flora. These relaxing, less formal settings are perfect for viewing of exhibits, cocktails, light lunches, a meal on the run, or just a moment of quiet reflection in the course of a busy conference schedule.

Registration Foyer
The registration foyer provides a spacious area dedicated to the efficient registration of large numbers of conference delegates. Ideally located off the main foyer on the ground floor, this flexible space can be adapted to suit the particular needs of organisers.

 

Main Foyer
The centre's main foyer leads off Convention Square, a grand piazza that overlooks the Roggebaai Canal and the Arabella Sheraton Grand Hotel. Convention Square links Cape Town's inner city road network to the centre's walkways and parking areas.

 

Artworks
Bold, distinctive artworks that express African and Cape essences ensure that the centre is not only technologically sophisticated but also aesthetically pleasing.
