Where to Stay
Welcome to Cape Town! To make your visit as convenient and comfortable as possible, we've outlined accommodation options near the ICMB XIII conference.
Venue Hotel: Protea Hotel Waterfront Breakwater Lodge
The conference will be hosted at Protea Hotel Waterfront Breakwater Lodge, offering breathtaking ocean and mountain views, modern amenities and direct access to the conference facilities. We are currently negotiating reduced room rates for conference attendees, so please stay tuned for further information or contact us before booking.
The Protea Hotel is located in the iconic and historic V&A Waterfront, known as Cape Town's vibrant harbour district, where spectacular views of Table Mountain meet world-class shopping, dining and entertainment. Set within a working harbour, the Waterfront offers a unique blend of history, culture and modern attractions, from local artisan markets and live music to luxury boutiques and waterfront restaurants. Visitors can enjoy harbour cruises, catch the City Sightseeing Red Bus, visit the Two Oceans Aquarium or simply relax while watching boats come and go in a lively but safe atmosphere.
