Conference Venues In Pretoria

One Of The Best Conference Venues In Pretoria Is Also A Five-Star Boutique Hotel

Conference venues in Pretoria have become very popular because Pretoria is noted for its relaxed and laid-back ambience and a significantly slower pace than Johannesburg.  Despite its size, Pretoria has retained most of its calmer vibe and as a result, many businesses in Gauteng prefer to escape the Johannesburg concrete jungle and hold their conferences, seminars, year-end functions and other events in Pretoria.  Of course, most companies have their own facilities for holding conferences, but a sense of occasion and an atmosphere of creativity are created when you break away to an exclusive and beautiful setting.

Hotel Conference Venues

Hotel conference venues in Pretoria offer you more than just conference facilities; because they are hotel-based, conference delegates that travel from afar and/or need to stay over have a place to sleep on-site.  It means that no travelling is required between the conference venue and the accommodation facilities and it also means that there is usually an established hotel restaurant – which is good news for those who have had a conference experience marred by sub-standard cuisine.

Holding conferences at hotel conference venues in Pretoria instead of at your own premises therefore holds distinct advantages:

  • You can opt for a beautiful, natural environment in a quiet area to make a clean break from the normal tedium of the work environment and stimulate creativity
  • Accommodation is available on-site for delegates flying in and for accommodating delegates during multi-day events
  • Proper hotel restaurant catering services ensure good conference cuisine

Varied Conference and Meeting Spaces

At our exclusive boutique hotel – one of the most prestigious conference venues in Pretoria – you have a wide choice of venues to accommodate groups of nearly any size:

  • The Wine Cellar is an intimate venue in an actual wine cellar and all around is an impressive wine collection of all the wines we had collected over the first thirty years of our estate's existence.  We can cater for anything from two to twenty people in this venue and it is ideal for small business events, corporate dinners and even private family feasts.
  • The Bibliotheca is similarly sized and will also accommodate a maximum of twenty people; this warm and cosy venue has a fireplace for those cold winter days and it is a favourite for executive business luncheons and breakfast meetings.
  • The Formal Lounge is meant for larger events and can accommodate up to forty people for a formal function or conference.  It is completely private and very exclusive and is situated in the Manor House.
  • For large conferences, our Casa Milano venue is ideal and it can accommodate up to 150 delegates, depending on the seating layout chosen. 

Casa Milano

Casa Milano is now one of the preferred conference venues in Pretoria because of a variety of winning features, not least all the seating layouts available.  Fifty delegates can be accommodated in a single U-shape (100 in a double U-shape); 60 in a boardroom layout; 120 using either round tables or a school room layout or 150 in a cocktail or cinema layout.  In addition, all of these features and equipment are offered as standard:

  • Air conditioning
  • Electronic screen (ceiling-mounted)
  • Acoustic partition for dividing the space to create a breakaway facility
  • Dimming lights
  • Surround sound system
  • Wireless Internet access

Casa Milano Petite

While Casa Milano is one of the most popular large conference venues in Pretoria, it also has a smaller sibling, the Casa Milano Petite, for smaller meetings, but with the same sense of style and quality.  The seating arrangements available are:

  • U-shape – single only (25 delegates)
  • School room (30)
  • Round tables (45)
  • Boardroom (25)
  • Cinema style (50)

It also has wireless Internet access, dimming lights, air conditioning and a ceiling-mounted electronic screen.

Five-star Accommodation Too

Of course, we offer superb five-star accommodation too and for delegate staying over, there is good news.  Our luxury suites are fully equipped and standard amenities include and en-suite bathroom, air conditioning, a mini bar, an in-room safe, laundry service and wireless Internet access.  Upgrade to true opulence when opting for the executive presidential suite that adds to the above a jacuzzi, fireplace, lounge and private garden.  Be prepared to be pleasantly surprised by our delightful accommodation and conference venues in Pretoria.
