Managing Director Marc Wachsberger says "the new development offers a lifestyle in a league of its own: This setting offers a fashion, food and entertainment nexus with a vibrant, cosmopolitan energy."

Wachsberger says The Capital's success lies in its combination of the best of both worlds - a full hotel service with the option of self-catering apartments and a host of facilities geared towards the requirements of both business and leisure travellers.

"We are the first new hotel development in Cape Town since the World Cup! Cape Town is an unbeatable international location where the business traveller, the international convention centre and the international traveller are driving hotel demand," he says.

Services will include in-room dining, concierge, uncapped, high speed complimentary WI-Fi, HD full bouquet satellite television, complimentary parking and shuttles to the V&A Waterfront and Cape Town International Convention Centre.

The multi-billion rand 315 000m2 Menlyn Maine development in Pretoria is already home to leading corporates and the development of its new Central Square will introduce a 213 room apartment and conferencing hotel, making it the place to meet, socialise, shop, live and work.

Located just off the N1 motorway's Atterbury offramp, the development will have access to nearby transport links, including Gautrain bus stops.

Menlyn Maine is more than a collection of award-winning green buildings in one place. It's designed to be environmentally sustainable, from its sidewalks and streets, to its parks and squares. The executive apartments, hotel and conference concept will be completely integrated with Menlyn Maine Central Square and will be a much-needed offering for Pretoria.

Wachsberger says the new development offers a lifestyle in a league of its own: "Rooms kitted to the highest standard, each living space expertly designed with superb finishes and timeless design from luxury and superior studios to one/two/three bedroom apartments.
