Century City Conference Centre and Hotel’s Covid-19 Health and Safety Programme

As we have opened the doors of the Century City Conference Centre and Hotel, we are fully aware of the enormous responsibility this entails to provide an environment that will protect both our guests and our staff from the threat of the Covid-19 virus. The health and safety of guests and staff has always been a top priority for us, and we have always adhered to the highest standards in this vital area. However, in the light of the coronavirus pandemic, we have elevated our processes and protocols to fight this disease and enshrined them in our Commitment to Care programme.

This programme includes a comprehensive set of new cleaning and safety measures compiled in line with the recommendations of the South African Department of Health, the Tourism Business Council of South Africa (TBCSA) and the Federation of Hospitality Association of South Africa (FEDHASA). We will constantly stay abreast of new recommendations to ensure that our business operates at the highest safety levels.
