Tech-enhanced venues

The Capital’s tech enhanced venues feature superfast and secure connectivity with enough bandwidth to stream live broadcasts to off-site delegates, allowing the hosting of Hybrid events with ease, ensuring clients have the best of both worlds.

Pioneering a new type of workspace

In a post-pandemic world, for many companies, a one-size-fits-all return-towork base has become an outdated concept. Employers are giving their teams flexibility and choice. In the past two years we have learnt new ways of working — have developed new rituals, new rules and behaviours that help us cope with complexity, ambiguity and uncertainty exacerbated by Covid. These ‘new’ work habits and behaviours have now become an integral part of our lives.

This has resulted in The Capital becoming a natural choice as a new work base. Common working spaces allow guests to set their temporary offices for the day at The Capital hotels. Whether it’s The Club lounge at The Capital Zimbali, magnificent restaurant at The Capital Pearls or the lobby and Deli Express at The Capital On The Park, a work base has the ability to be anywhere.
