You'll be forgiven for mistaking this conference hotel for a resort when you step into the elevator and notice that your week has been planned out on a poster with plenty of onsite activities including early morning yoga sessions. The Capital on the Park is a unique hotel and longer-stay hotel apartment complex (one- and two-bedroom) on Katherine Street in Sandton Central overlooking the picturesque Mushroom Farm Park.

While business is the hotel's business, plenty of thought has gone into making sure that guests have a leisure experience. It's there in the state-of-the-art gym, the day spa, the running track that leads into the park from the hotel, the sumptuous pool deck and outdoor bar, and even dedicated spaces designed for your own private picnic on the lawns. One of our favourite features is the grab- and go snack bar, ideal for when all you want to do is kick back on a pool lounger with a book.

Get there with the Gautrain: The Capital on the Park is a ten-minute walk from the Sandton Gautrain station.
