Why Conference Attendees Love Century City…
Within walking distance from your hotel (if you’re staying with us), and conveniently placed on the N1 freeway a mere ten minutes from Cape Town’s CBD, you’ll find Century City.
This uniquely secure, privately managed, 250-hectare estate is a global standard-bearer in New Urban planning. Seamlessly blending residential, commercial, retail, and leisure components along the serene waterways and canals that stretch over eight kilometres, it’s a city-within-a-city.
Positioned in the heart of the greater Cape Town metropole, Century City is well-served by an extensive road network offering straightforward access to the entirety of the Western Cape. Not only does this make it an ideal venue for conferences and business events, but its well-structured public transportation also makes it easy for attendees and guests.
A true embodiment of a ‘smart city’, Century City is efficiently managed and immaculately maintained, aligning perfectly with the needs of the twenty-first century.
The Century City Experience
Surrounded by beautifully landscaped surroundings, intelligently designed, and meticulously maintained, Century City provides an unrivalled quality of life. It pulses with energy, vitality and concentration, yet equally offers serene moments for relaxation.
Conference attendees can enjoy premium shopping opportunities within South Africa, or find tranquillity on the serene Intaka Island, an award-winning wetland nature reserve, mere minutes away from the retail haven of Canal Walk.
Various entertainment and leisure activities make Century City a distinctive destination for conference-goers, from boat rides, outdoor cinema, canoeing, stand-up paddling, moonlit hikes, to following an art trail.
Staying Active During Your Conference
Century City features an extensive network of trails suitable for walking, running, or cycling – an open invitation to enjoy outdoor exercise in an unpolluted environment.
The precinct’s own sports clubhouse overlooks the verdant field of Central Park, serving as a versatile venue for diverse activities and events, from rugby and aerobics to organic markets and open-air cinema.
The Clubhouse also provides homes to Century City’s Athletics Club, Canoe Club, Stand-Up Paddling Club, and an Adventure Bootcamp for Women. It can be rented for business meetings, training, events, and gatherings.
