Joburg Business Resort: The Capital On The Park

WORDS Graham Wood

Business travellers looking for resort-style accommodation in Joburg are in luck.

Mushrooming CBDs and the rise of the extended business trip mean that travelling for work now demands a bit more than booking into any hotel for a couple of nights. Global nomads of the new order need a business resort. We’re talking the kind of stay-over that combines the formalities of work, the comfort of home and the fun stuff of a holiday resort, all under one roof. The Capital On The Park, the half-a-billion-rand business resort that’s just opened in Sandton, has stepped into the gap.

“We have built a business resort so busy executives can enjoy work, stay and play – all in one exciting destination,” says The Capital MD Marc Wachsberger.

Along with a combo of residential and hotel apartments, The Capital On The Park combines holiday features like an infinity pool, sun deck, restaurant and outdoor Champagne bar with the sophistication of a business hotel. Anyone can pop in for after-work cocktails, or to catch the resident DJs every Friday night.

Dare we say, just when you thought hotels had been well and truly disrupted by the likes of Airbnb, along comes a place like The Capital On The Park. It looks like hotels are back in the game.
