The Capital EMPIRE can be referred to as a stylish and highly sophisticated, centrally located and absolutely stunning hotel/apartment living.

Conveniently located for your next business trip and post hectic meeting you get to come to an exquisite place you can call home for a few days.

The Capital EMPIRE caters for everyone, with stays ranging from hotel rooms to spacious apartments and even some penthouses, you will definitely have a place that suits your comfort and preferred method of stay. They are equipped with a fully functional gym overlooking the beautiful gardens embedded with Jasmine and surrounded by the picturesque architecture. Their facilities include standard rooms, executive rooms, 1-3 bedroom apartments as well as 2-4 bedroom penthouses.

The restaurant has a menu that is inclusive of everyone, from the pickiest of eaters to the more sophisticated palates. I can recommend the Chicken Liver starter, the Seared Salmon main or the absolutely delicious Butter Chicken curry served with fresh poppadoms. You as a guest have the option of enjoying your meals in the beautiful restaurant surrounded by the buzz of Sandton city overlooking their beautiful pool area or you can enjoy every meal in the comfort of your own space. A bubbly on your balcony is a definite recommendation from our side, quiet, beautiful and the epitome of comfort.

Each hotel room, apartment and penthouse are beautifully brought together with world-class design, attention to detail and exquisite art pieces.

You are spoiled with a gown and slippers perfectly placed for your convenience, a very special touch with compliments from them to every guest. The bathroom layout is stunning, with a his and hers sink, probably the most spacious bathtub I have ever enjoyed as well as a very spacious shower. The apartments and penthouses have fully functional kitchen areas, including a washer, dryer, oven, stovetop, microwave and a full-house fridge, ensuring your stay, let it be one night, months or a year on end is comfortable and stylish.

The Capital EMPIRE is equipped with one of the best networking experiences, spacious boardrooms and the perfect setting for conferences and meetings. The feel of contemporary and convenient Sandton-living experience is eminent throughout this landmark. The staff here are exceptional and ensure that all your needs are met, from personal experience we were spoiled with a stunning private dinner surrounded by candles and fairy lights in their beautiful gardens, soft music playing in the background and served with the most delicious food. It is great for any event hosting as well as the perfect scene for a night in the city.
