FAME Week Africa returns to Cape Town from 28 October to 1 November 2026, and if you’re attending, where you stay matters more than you might think. Five days of back-to-back panels, screenings, masterclasses, and networking events is an intensive schedule. The last thing you need is a long commute eating into your day or a hotel that leaves you too drained to make the most of the evenings.
ANEW Hotel Green Point is just 3.4 km from the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC), where FAME Week Africa takes place. That translates to roughly a seven-minute drive via Main Rd and Helen Suzman Blvd. Whether you’re heading to an early MIP Africa session or rushing back to freshen up before an evening networking event, the proximity makes a genuine difference.
Why Cape Town Is the Right Stage for FAME Week Africa
Cape Town has long been the creative heartbeat of South Africa. Its film studios, music scene, fashion culture, and digital media ecosystem make it a natural host for Africa’s premier creative industry trade platform. FAME Week Africa brings together African talent, international broadcasters, streamers, buyers, and partners, all converging at CTICC 2 in the city’s Foreshore district.
The event spans film, television, animation, music, fashion, and entertainment technology. Sub-events include MIP Africa, Muziki Africa, the African Fashion Forum, and the FAME Shorts Film Festival. France is the Destination Focus for 2026, reflecting a growing emphasis on cross-continental co-production and distribution deals. For creative professionals, the five days represent a concentrated opportunity to pitch, connect, and close, which is exactly why your accommodation needs to support that pace, not slow it down.
ANEW Hotel Green Point: Location That Works for You
ANEW Hotel Green Point is a 4-star property with 76 well-appointed rooms spread across six floors. Its Green Point address places it squarely between the V&A Waterfront and the CTICC, giving attendees straightforward access to both the conference venue and Cape Town’s wider entertainment district.
The hotel also offers a complimentary daily shuttle service to and from the V&A Waterfront, with return services. Seats are limited and can be reserved at reception. For FAME Week attendees wrapping up late at the convention centre, this is a practical convenience worth factoring in.
The Sea Point Promenade and Green Point Urban Park are both within walking distance, offering a genuine way to decompress after full conference days.
Room Options Designed for the Connected Traveller
Every room at ANEW Hotel Green Point is fully air-conditioned and fitted with keycard-activated power-saving technology. Each room includes a dedicated WiFi access point and an optional Ethernet connection, useful for professionals who need reliable connectivity for pre-event prep or post-session follow-ups.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the room categories available:
- Standard Rooms (18m²): Modern furnishings with a working desk, flat-screen TV, espresso machine, in-room safe, and hairdryer. Available in queen or twin setup.
- Deluxe Rooms (22m²): Includes all standard amenities plus windows opening towards the Atlantic Ocean. Nineteen rooms in this category.
- Executive Rooms (18m²): Feature a step-out balcony alongside the full suite of modern amenities. A good option for those who want outdoor space after a busy day.
- Executive Suites (40m²): A separate lounge area with a sleeper couch, private balcony, and views over Green Point Urban Park and the Atlantic Ocean. Suited for longer stays or those who prefer more space to work and relax.
- Family Rooms (Standard, Deluxe, and Executive): Two interconnected rooms joined by a private passage. These work well for colleagues travelling together or those extending their stay beyond the conference.
Facilities Worth Knowing About
Beyond the rooms themselves, the hotel’s facilities are well matched to the needs of conference attendees.
The rooftop swimming pool features glass walls overlooking Green Point and is temperature-monitored, a genuine draw after long days on your feet. The rooftop lounge offers views of Signal Hill and the Atlantic Ocean, and makes for a relaxed setting to continue conversations that started in the conference halls.
The on-site restaurant draws from both African and international culinary traditions. Room service is available for those nights when leaving the room simply isn’t on the agenda. For meetings that don’t need to happen at the CTICC, the hotel’s conference venues offer a quiet alternative, useful for smaller team discussions or one-on-one deal conversations.
Additional facilities include 24-hour security, a concierge service, secure on-site parking, and guest working stations. The concierge team can assist with event planning and local recommendations, which is worth using if you’re new to the city.
What to Do Between Sessions
Cape Town offers plenty of ways to spend the downtime between FAME Week sessions. The ANEW Hotel Green Point activities list includes several options within easy reach:
- V&A Waterfront: restaurants, retail, and evening entertainment
- Sea Point Promenade: an easy walk for a morning run or evening wind-down
- Green Point Urban Park: ideal for a quiet hour away from screens
- Green Point Golf Course: for those who prefer their networking on the fairway
- Table Mountain Aerial Cableway: worth the trip if your schedule allows
- Camps Bay: one of Cape Town’s most iconic beach destinations
The hotel’s proximity to theatres, shopping centres, and Cape Town’s nightlife also means that spontaneous plans are easy to act on.
