Profile
Velmore Hotel Spa Centurion — officially known as Velmoré Hotel Estate & Spa — is one of Gauteng’s most distinguished and architecturally striking luxury estate hotel and conference destinations, situated at 96 Main Road, Hennops River, Erasmia, on the outskirts of Centurion. Inspired by the timeless elegance of French Provence, Velmoré Hotel Estate & Spa offers a harmonious blend of classic sophistication and modern design — set along the tranquil banks of the Hennops River with breathtaking views of the Magaliesberg Mountains, lavishly landscaped gardens, and the serene natural beauty that makes this estate feel worlds apart from the Gauteng urban landscape despite being just 15 kilometres from Pretoria and Centurion and 35 kilometres from Sandton.
Comprising two luxury hotels (the Velmoré Hotel and the Velmoré Grande), 16 function venues, a certified Halal kitchen, an on-site spa, the Cabrière’s Restaurant, and the capacity to accommodate 80 to 1,500 guests for weddings and 10 to 750 delegates for conferences — Velmoré Hotel Estate & Spa is one of the most complete and versatile estate event destinations in Gauteng.
