Meet at The Paxton
Room to think, five minutes from the airport
The Paxton sits in Humerail, close to the harbour, the CBD and Chief Dawid Stuurman Airport, which makes it an easy choice for out-of-town delegates and local teams alike. Arrive, park free at the door and walk straight into a room that is already set up.
Our events team plans each booking with you: the layout, the timings, the menu and the little things, like coffee that arrives when the session breaks rather than ten minutes later. When the day is done, your delegates can stay over in one of our 79 rooms.
Every booking includes
- A dedicated events coordinator from enquiry to wrap-up
- Fast, free Wi‑Fi for every delegate
- Free onsite parking and EV charging
- Screen, projector and flipchart on request
- Menus for dietary needs, prepared in our own kitchen
- Preferential room rates for delegates
