The Details

Hotel Verde sits in Airport Industria, 400 metres from Cape Town International Airport, with a complimentary shuttle running between the terminal and the hotel. The setting, beside a restored wetland under the hotel's stewardship, gives the property an unexpectedly natural backdrop for a city-edge airport hotel.

The hotel has built its reputation on sustainability. It was the first hotel in Africa to achieve 100% carbon-neutral status and continues to offset all guest carbon emissions. Eco-tours of the building and grounds show guests how the systems work, from the eco-pool to the indoor and outdoor gym, where exercise equipment feeds energy back into the building.

Rooms

There are 151 rooms across three categories. The Standard Room runs to around 290 square feet with a choice of king or twin beds, work desk, open-plan bathroom, tea and coffee station, mini-fridge and DSTV. The Studio Room is slightly larger at around 320 square feet, family-friendly, with a separate bathroom and an optional sofa bed. The Executive Room, at around 440 square feet, suits longer stays and families, with a king-size bed, separate living room, full bathroom with bath and shower, kitchenette, and a sofa bed for two children.

Dining

Nuovo Restaurant and Bar serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with an a la carte menu and seasonal picnics available. The kitchen leans on the hotel's sustainability ethos, with locally sourced ingredients and a relaxed bar offering for guests arriving late from long-haul flights.

Activities

On-site activities include the Verde Vita Spa and Wellness Centre with treatments, a breathing room and an infrared cabin, an eco-pool, an indoor and outdoor gym, and guided eco-tours of the hotel's green systems and surrounding wetland. Conferencing and events venues are also available on the property.
