A new R700 million development of a new Conference Centre and Hotels in Waterfall City

Today marks a pivotal moment for South African business within hospitality with the announcement of a R700 million investment to develop the new Waterfall City Conference Centre and Hotels. A strategic collaboration between Attacq Waterfall Investment Company and Rabie Property Group, this landmark project represents one of the largest recent capital injections in Gauteng, serving as a robust endorsement of the region’s economic potential. The Waterfall City Conference Centre and Hotels will be operated by the same trusted team that has successfully managed Century City Conference Centre and Hotels for the past 10 years, leveraging the expertise of the management team.

Over the past decade, Century City Conference Centre and Hotels have built a reputation for consistent excellence in the business events and hospitality landscape. As the portfolio has grown, so has the responsibility to manage multiple assets with the same level of care, discipline, and intent. That growth has now taken the group beyond a single destination. The same team behind the success of Century City Conference Centre and Hotels now brings that experience to Johannesburg with the launch of Waterfall City Conference Centre and Hotels.

Together, this established leadership group will now oversee operations in both Cape Town and Johannesburg, bringing a proven model to scale, without diluting accountability, culture, or guest experience.

“Waterfall City Conference Centre and Hotels are building the future of business events, telling the story of economic confidence and tech innovation through a premium offering,” says Gary Koetser, Chief Executive Officer of both Waterfall City Conference Centre and Hotels and Century City Conference Centre and Hotels.

The new Conference Centre is designed to accommodate up to 1350 delegates in one venue and 2000 across 16 versatile venues, offering exquisite open-air venues for cocktail events and outdoor functions, while the hotel will feature 171 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy an all-day dining restaurant with stunning views over Waterfall City and Johannesburg, along with a gym, spa, swimming pool, and private dining options for smaller, informal events. Every square meter of the development has been meticulously designed to enhance operational efficiencies while catering to the needs of guests.

In an era where safety, security, quality standards, and connectivity are non-negotiable, Koetser says Waterfall City Conference Centre and Hotels is designed for performance at every level. The Conference Centre is engineered for productivity, scale, and elevated guest experiences, while the hotel provides a considered retreat for both business and leisure travellers. “This would not be possible without the continued support of our clients and the broader events industry,” he added.

Waterfall City Conference Centre and Hotels is set to be fully operational in October 2027, marking a definitive new chapter for African business excellence and global connectivity. For more information and to book your landmark event, visit the official website at www.wcconferencecentre.co.za .
