Sutherland Hotel
Overview & Capacity
The Sutherland Hotel is the beating heart of South Africa's stargazing capital, and its 150-person events area is the only function space of that size for a very long way in any direction. Pair a buffet-and-dance-floor evening with a SALT observatory tour and telescope session and you have an incentive programme no city venue can copy. Twenty-two en-suite units means big groups will need the town's guest houses — plan the bed-map early, and pack for Karoo winters.
