Maropeng is where B&W lands the brief that wants heritage as story - sitting inside the Cradle of Humankind UNESCO precinct with a proper 500-delegate conference centre and a boutique hotel on-site. It's an under-the-radar option for corporate that punches well above its recognition weight, especially for international delegates who care about the origin-of-humankind angle.
