EMPERORS PALACE FEATURE

Emperors Palace offers so much more for business events guests

You are familiar with the scene: the boss announces that there’s going to be a conference or exhibition, and everyone has to attend. You all stifle a collective groan thinking the same thing… boring. That’s often the case with group conventions – it takes place at a stuffy, corporate location where the trendiest spot is the smoking area out in the parking lot. But conventions need not be a joyless vacuum. There are locations with much more to offer so that the experience can transcend the mundane and present an opportunity to connect on a personal and professional level. That location is Emperors Palace.

Located next to O.R. Tambo International Airport and on the Gautrain route from Sandton, Emperors Palace has been an epicentre for conferencing for more than a decade. With its 29 conference venues, massive Centre Court, professional set up and comprehensive wi-fi, it ticks all the boxes to host a successful event. However, today’s modern delegate requires more than a free notepad and complimentary mints. Connections need to be made and for that to transpire, something out of the ordinary is required. As the Palace of Dreams, Emperors Palace has something for everyone, so we’ll spell out some of the new and unique features it has to offer…

Exciting revamps

Eating out is on the rise again, with folks looking for convenient locations with a good atmosphere, great service and delicious food. Emperors Palace has 16 dining establishments with Tribes, Spur and Taste of Mumbai the latest to undergo some tasty renovations to ensure hungry patrons leave satisfied.

Mixologist teambuilding

Teambuilding doesn’t always have to be trust-falls and war-cries. The latest trend is to build camaraderie in a more relaxed setting and to make your own wine. You read right — wine blending is a hot trend where your group gets the ingredients to blend and create their own bottle of vino… and the best part is they get to keep it at the end. It’s a great way to toast new relationships.

Packages for every event

Budgets. The B-word everyone hates when it comes to finding affordable conferencing and events packages. Luckily, Emperors Palace has a three-tier package offer which allows you to decide what you need to suit your budget. Great value and exceptional service come free.

Expanding our reach

Peermont is expanding its reach, with the addition of a permanent sales executive based in Cape Town, at offices in Century City. This is a first for Peermont, whose aim is to give 100 per cent attention to creating brand awareness of their resorts. New to Peermont, Leanne Margo’s mission is to showcase the diversity and convenience Peermont Resorts has to offer to travel professionals throughout the whole country.

Reign

It’s time for a new reign. Emperors Palace’s award-winning Aurelia’s Restaurant has officially retired, making way for a new, contemporary eatery. Introducing Reign, the trendy, new restaurant now open at Emperors Palace. Reign is a full-service degustation restaurant, under the culinary skills of Chef Themba Bawuti, that offers an unforgettable contemporary eating experience with quality fare and exceptional service in a beautifully designed setting. With new décor and an extended outside area, Reign is looking to have a long… reign.

Seasons greetings

With evolution being a common theme at the Palace of Dreams, the legendary Garden of Light has to make way for something bigger and better. From 25 November until 2 January, Emperors Palace will debut its Christmas Village, a magical wonderland built in the style of a traditional Bavarian village. This is the perfect family holiday outing where visitors will be able to wander the Tunnel of Lights, Snow Town, The Village Square and the Winter Wonderland, boasting a breath-taking light display complete with fairies, elves, gnomes, goblins and reindeers peeking out from a fantasy forest. And the best part? It’s located on level five of the parking garage, so the magic is uninterrupted, rain or shine.
