Conference Facilities Pretoria

conference venueHotel Conference Facilities In Pretoria To Meet Your Every Need

Pretoria businesses may require conference facilities in Pretoria for a variety of reasons, like holding conferences, seminars, product launches, year-end functions, training sessions, team-building events or other types of corporate events.  Pretoria is already a more stimulating and productive environment for any type of creative event, what with its more laid-back character (as opposed to Johannesburg) escaping some of the big city rate race.

However, despite Pretoria's ambience very much being a strong suit, most businesses realise they require outside conference facilities in Pretoria for their events, instead of just holding them at their own premises.  There are several reasons businesses prefer not to use their own facilities:

  • They realise the need for employees to escape from the normal work environment
  • Creative thought is stimulated in a fresh environment
  • A large conference with many delegates may require a large venue that can accommodate everybody
  • Delegates that fly in from remote destinations may require accommodation
  • Catering services may be required too

The Boutique Hotel Solution

The above points are more than enough reason to opt for outside conference facilities in Pretoria, because even if a company's own facilities may be able to provide the actual space, it falls short in meeting all the other requirements.  This is especially relevant in the light of modern event organisers' requirements that call for far more than just a conference space; they have started to demand all-in-one solutions that can not only supply the meeting space, but also overnight accommodation and catering services.

Some five-star boutique hotels therefore offer very appealing conference facilities in Pretoria, while offering their luxurious accommodation for delegates who stay over and their restaurant catering facilities to look after the delegates' culinary requirements.  These make for an efficient and productive conferencing and brain-storming environment and obviates the need for travelling between venues or late at night when a business session or function ends.

Conference Facility Requirements

Proper conference facilities in Pretoria should offer the modern Gauteng conference organiser all they need to present a professional conference, seminar or function.  To this end, the following equipment should form part of the conference venue:

  • a retractable, ceiling-mounted screen on which to project presentations
  • air conditioning to finely control the climate, winter or summer
  • dimming lights
  • Internet access – preferably wireless
  • an acoustic partition
  • a surround sound system

Additional equipment should be available upon request.

Conferences can vary in size and boutique hotel conference facilities in Pretoria should be flexible and configurable to cater for all delegation sizes, from a few people to nearly 200.  Seating configurations affect venue capacity and, for example, the U-shape can only be used if the numbers allow it; it is the configuration that takes up the most space for the fewest people.  The cinema-style layout is the most space-efficient.

Enquire about the packages available from the conference facilities in Pretoria that you are considering for your business event.  They should be accommodative and at least be able to offer you several half- and full-day packages at preferential rates and with different levels of service on offer to suit the requirements and budget of your business.

Accommodation and Catering

Of course, booking your conference facilities in Pretoria at a boutique hotel means that the accommodation and catering bases are already covered and the best five-star boutique hotels offer plush suites that include:

  • air conditioning
  • a mini bar
  • an in-room safe for your valuables
  • en-suite bathroom
  • wireless Internet access
  • laundry service

If you opt for a well-known and respected establishment, you also benefit from the catering services of a hotel restaurant that has already built a reputation for its superb cuisine.  We can offer you all of the above advantages in grand style, so contact us today.
