It’s lights out for Emperors Palace

Emperors Palace will join millions of people and thousands of businesses around the world to commemorate Earth Hour from 20h30 to 21h30 on 26 March.

The most recognised Emperors Palace sign… the signature beacon, which can be seen from the R21 highway going to the O.R Tambo International Airport, welcoming visitors to the complex, will be switched off for the full hour to honour Earth Hour and its contribution to the planet.
