With Covid-19 easing up, its effects are long-lasting and leave us changed forever. This is especially true for the hotel industry as consumer trends have indicated hotel guests and travellers have a new perspective on luxury. Hotel guests look far beyond a hotel’s excellent service and state-of-the-art architecture.
They find value in a personalised hotel experience where staff can anticipate their needs rather than respond to them and appreciate when they feel supported and seen. These are key elements necessary to elevate a guest’s experience making them want to return.
Designs and Aesthetic
Offering a tailor-made service begins with a hotel with beautiful and modern designs and styling, everything from the exterior, the reception, the lounge, and the public areas. Providing an instagrammable environment for guests is crucial for every hotelier that wants longevity. When your guests walk through the doors, they must be instantly impressed by the hotel’s interiors, technology, lighting, temperature, and scent.
The little details truly matter. A hotel situated in the most beautiful parts of the city, town, or area is essential, offering your guests a chance to enjoy great morning and sunset views and enchanting night-time city lights. The Capital Hotels and Apartments are situated in multiple locations throughout South Africa that offer just that.
Outstanding Service
Luxury and excellent service are interdependent. A successful luxury hotel knows its guests and provides tailored services where hotel staff serve guests with a great deal of personal care. The Capital Hotels and Apartments employ hotel staff highly trained in their roles, polite and professional.
Our hotel guests receive a personalised check-in and check-out service. Guests who may be new to the area they’re staying in receive advice and tips on their destination from the hotel staff, that’s sometimes multi-lingual.
Hotel services extend beyond cleaning and room service. The Capital Hotels and Apartments staff accommodate special requests such as marriage proposals, romantic occasions, and birthday-related events. Curating luxurious and memorable guest experiences.

Cultural Experiences
Hotels providing an authentic local experience or catering to the unique customer experience is a key differentiating factor. A hotel that supports and caters to guests’ activities outside of the hotel will have satisfied and engaged guests that will recommend the hotel to others, post about their pleasant experiences on social media, and ultimately return for another stay.
