Hotel Verde

A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH

Beyond its stunning accommodation options, Hotel Verde Cape Town Airport offers eight state-of-the-art conferencing and events venues ideal for meetings, workshops, launches and extraordinary events – with carbon offsetting at the heart of its operations.

High-tech audiovisual equipment is built into each of Hotel Verde’s eight conferencing venues and included in the rates, as are Wi-Fi and secure parking. We offer 100% offset carbon-neutral conferencing and events at no extra cost.

All conference packages include: • free parking on the day of the function • complimentary purified still and sparkling water • complimentary uncapped Wi-Fi, conference notepads, pencils, data projector, screen, flipchart, paper, white-board, markers, chalkboard, podium • complimentary airport shuttle from 04:00 to 00:00 daily.

CONFERENCING AND CARBON OFFSETTING

The already reduced carbon footprint of every guest stay and/or conference venue used is offset through the responsible purchase of carbon credits through Kariba REDD+, which ensures that guests and conference delegates are issued with an accredited certificate to prove that their experience at Hotel Verde was carbon neutral and can be used in their own business records. The already reduced carbon footprint of the hotel is calculated on an annual basis according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and offset through the responsible purchase of carbon credits, making Hotel Verde carbon neutral.

Some other approaches to sustainability include: • A complimentary bowl of seasonal fresh whole fruit is provided in every venue to encourage healthy eating habits. • Each venue is equipped with separate bins for items that can be recycled or composted. • Eco-friendly stationery such as recycled pencils and notepads is printed on recycled paper at a carbon-neutral printer. • The above mentioned is available on the side should delegates require, keeping notepads out of ‘doodle reach,’ significantly reducing paper wastage. • Natural lighting reduces the use of electricity and adds to delegates’ feeling of well-being

DÉCOR

All our venues are uniquely decorated in a beautiful way that displays the owners’ love for art. Our Conference Lobby boasts a stunning art collection, which amazes, inspires and encourages creativity. The conferences have been named after famous artists namely, Picasso, Da Vinci, Miro, Renoir, Dali, etc.

Our orange wall leading to the conference venues is a splendid sight to see and is made up of recycled glass and off-cuts from the construction of this building, which makes for an elegant touch. Directly opposite the wall lies the ‘Living Wall’, which uses a hydroponic system to recapture water and grow plants in a sustainable way. This landmark showcases what Hotel Verde is all about.

CONFERENCE VENUE FEATURES

Each of our venues has doors leading outside to allow for a natural setting and natural lighting to minimise on our lighting usage. A key card system that turns lights on and off in the venues minimises power wastage. We have incorporated double-glazed windows into our entire building to aid in maintaining ambient air temperature and to function as soundproofing, to filter out noise from our surroundings (being an airport hotel). We also have a full-time AV technician on-site to assist with all the conferencing technical issues.

REASONS TO CONFERENCE WITH HOTEL VERDE

Planning a conference is not for the faint-hearted and picking the location is no small aspect of this process! Hotel Verde is an ideal choice for your conference needs, so we are showcasing some great reasons to choose us:

# 1

CARBON-NEUTRAL CONVENING

In 2014, Hotel Verde Cape Town became the first hotel in Africa to offer 100% offset carbonneutral accommodation and conferencing. From design to operations, sustainability is at the core of everything we do. This allows us to offer conference facilities as well as accommodation that offsets the carbon created by our guests during their stay.

Should you want to add this to official reports and business records, we have made that easy too. We issue attendees and guests with an accredited certificate to validate their carbonneutral stay.

# 2

CONVENIENT LOCATION

Just 400 m from Cape Town International Airport, our venues are the perfect place to convene delegates from around the country, as well as those travelling in from abroad. Our shuttle easily transports guests to and from the airport itself and we are a quick, 15-minute drive away from the bustling city centre. Delegates can easily access e-hailing services to explore the beautiful Mother City and everything it has to offer after business is concluded.

# 3

VERSATILE LOCALES

We have eight high-tech, well-equipped venues that can be adjusted to your every need.

The Picasso, Van Gogh and Da Vinci venues are available in various configurations, and we also have the VIP Lounge and Boardrooms available with seating configurations. These state-of-the-art offerings can be combined in different packages to accommodate most corporate events, conferences, banquets and weddings.

# 4

CONFERENCE CONCIERGE

The convenience of a conference venue attached to a hotel is not to be underestimated. Conference delegates can stay in our premium rooms, which offer 18-hour room service, a wake-up call service, and all the amenities you would expect of a world-class hotel. Our fully equipped gym feeds energy back on to the grid every time you exercise and when you need a break you can take a dip in our eco pool or book a pamper session at the Renew Treatment Room.

In addition to these facilities, our hotel restaurant – Nuovo – serves up a delicious a la carte menu prepared with sustainably sourced ingredients. The bar, open until 01:00, is stocked with a range of local craft beers and excellent South African wines.
