The President Hotel in Cape Town announced that it is about to undergo renovations, with the aim of making the hotel bigger and better. The hotel  blends leisure and business travel, with Jeremy Clayton, general manager, commenting “Our conference and event facilities lend themselves to an almost inexhaustible range of adaptations to suit varying requisites, and the in-house events team is on hand to smooth organisation and preparation.”

 

The hotel has just launched their newly refurbished, state-of-the-art conference centre, with the facilities including imported, ergonomic wooden furniture from Germany, and top of the range sound and lighting in all the venues. Unlimited 200Mbs Wi-Fi is available as well as cutting edge AV technology, exciting food and beverage menus, and a professional onsite team to ensure hassle and stress free conferences and events. The conference room will now consist of fully automated sound, AV, AC and lighting controls. With three ceiling mounted NEC HD quality projectors and three motorised screens, as well as 12 high quality Extron speakers installed in the ceiling allowing for voice-lift and high quality sound for presentations and music, the conference facilities and hotel have become a technology leader, being number one choice amongst business professionals.

 

The conferencing facilities consist of a dedicated fibre line, so the hotel is the perfect location for online content driven product launches or high-end media events with specially designed packages providing an uninhibited internet experience.

 

In addition to their conference centre, the President Hotel has adopted the latest in intelligent Wi-Fi technology, offering the fastest hotel speeds in the country. The President’s 200Mbs fibre link means that guests can enjoy the fastest Wi-Fi in the comfort of the hotel, with no restrictions. With an implementation of the industry’s best practices, networks offer a safe and secure environment for a speedy internet experience. This upgrade will also offer guests the ability to easily stream 1080p High Definition content from services such as YouTube, the iTunes Store, ShowMax and many other online movie services on their own device.

 

There will also be a newly implemented modern LED technology and lighting throughout the hotel, new branded amenity ranges as well as room décor refurbishments including new scatter cushions, throws, décor items and prints on the wall.

 

The pool area will be receiving a makeover with the addition of new sun loungers, side tables and a new Deck Bar poolside. While catching some rays, guests will be able to order their drinks from the comfort of the new and trendy pool bar and deck, set to be completed this month. The Deck bar will stock various wines, beers, cocktails and artisanal gin selection, for all guests to enjoy. The staff will also be receiving a makeover with new uniforms.

 

Not forgetting about the kids, a new children’s area at the hotel will be launching mid-December with dedicated activities for the children each day as well as educational toys. Clayton concludes, “We move, we adjust, we upgrade, we are constantly improving and each visit must be memorable and unique!”
