Book early, pay less: how The Capital’s advance booking deals work

Book early, pay less: how The Capital’s advance booking deals work

Some people book a hotel the week before they travel. Others have next December mapped out by July. If you’re in the second camp, The Capital rewards your planning habits with real money off, and the earlier you commit, the bigger the saving.

Two advance booking deals are running at the moment, and they work slightly differently, so here’s the breakdown.

The 60-day deal: 25% off at every Capital property

Book your stay 60 days or more in advance, and you get 25% off on any room type, at any Capital property, including SEVEN Villa Hotel & Spa. City apartment in Sandton, beach resort on the Dolphin Coast, spa hotel in Cape Town – if it’s ours, the discount applies.

The finer points:

  • 25% off all room types
  • Minimum 2-night stay
  • Non-refundable, though date changes are allowed (new rates may apply)
  • Subject to availability, and blockout dates apply
  • Valid until 31 December 2026

That non-refundable part is worth pausing on. This deal rewards commitment. If your plans are solid, it’s the biggest saving on our deals page. If your plans tend to shift, the date-change option gives you some flexibility; just note that the rate may change with your new dates.

The 30-day deal: 20% off at Trilogy and On Bath

Can’t quite plan two months out? The 30-day version gets you 20% off at two properties: The Capital Trilogy in Pretoria and The Capital on Bath in Rosebank, Johannesburg.

The same basic rules apply: book at least 30 days ahead, stay a minimum of two nights, and the rate is non-refundable. Whether it’s a romantic getaway, a solo recharge or a family escape, planning a month ahead knocks a fifth off the bill.

Which one should you pick?

If you can book 60 days out, take the 60-day deal. The discount is bigger and it works at every property. The 30-day deal earns its keep when your dates are closer, or when you know you want Trilogy or On Bath specifically.

Either way, the maths is simple: the earlier you book, the less you pay. Both deals are subject to availability, so if your dates are set, don’t sit on them.
