Just outside the City Centre, set high on the banks of the Umgeni River Mouth, is a place where sheer quality and excellent service is all part of the deal. Two restaurants and a cocktail bar on the premises, together with four-star accommodation and location that is second to none, ensure the best getaway this side of paradise.

Stunning river views and abundant bird life on the Umgeni Estuary below the hotel, set the perfect scene for rest and relaxation. The Windsor Park and Durban Country Club golf courses are within easy access of the hotel, while to the north and south lie the splendour of the KwaZulu-Natal Coast.

The International Convention Centre, the new Sun Coast casino complex, and the restaurant district of Morningside are just minutes away, as is the mammoth Gateway Shopping and Entertainment centre and the growing business district of Umhlanga, making the Riverside Hotel an ideal base when visiting Durban.

The Riverside Conference Centre is ideally situated directly opposite the front entrance to the hotel, ensuring conference delegates staying at the hotel easy access to their rooms should they so require. For day delegates there is plenty of secure parking within the hotel grounds and, with the hotel being so centrally located, it allows for easy access no matter where the delegates are travelling from.

The conference centre is made up of several conference rooms with the largest, The Pelican Suite seating up to 250 delegates, down to the smallest boardrooms (of which there are two), each seating up to 10 delegates in boardroom seating. These boardrooms are ideal as breakaway rooms.

We provide a full range of conferencing equipment on site, from data projectors and modem links to flip charts. And with the Riverside's experienced conference team always on hand, you'll never be stuck for on-the-spot support.

The Riverside Conference Centre also offers a banqueting facility perfect for dinner dances, theme evenings, cocktail parties and weddings.
