Sandton City – the richest square mile in Africa. A bustling metropolis that is generally associated with the fast-paced and stress-inducing lifestyles of many businessmen and women. As an entrepreneur who frequently conducts his business in Sandton, I experience this lifestyle on a daily basis. My initial outlook on Sandton recently resulted in the avoidance of the city due to the stress and pressure that came along with working there. This, however, changed after the opportunity to stay at Seven Villa Hotel came my way. Let me share with you how that happened and why you should consider staying at The Seven Villa Hotel.

A stone throws away from the heart of Sandton we find The Seven Villa Hotel by The Capital. It is an oasis perfect for balancing the therapeutic aspects of nature and art with the necessity of commercial productivity. It is a great place to stay while travelling on business. This is due to its convenient location and its ability to aid in the avoidance of stress by enhancing your ability to unwind after a long day. The enablement of a sound mind has proven to be a recipe for success for any hardworking individual. And that is why I recommend staying at Seven Villa. The abundance of indigenous nature complemented by sculptures formed by the acclaimed Anton Smit, force you to stop. Take a breathe and continue to go about your day in a mindful manner. This, combined with the ease of mind provided by the 5-star service leaves you with nothing short of a relaxing stay. Staying at Seven Villa will take a number of worries off your plate as the staff will be there to help you with any of your needs. Whether it be a lift to your room, setting up your private jacuzzi or organizing a personal butler to fulfil a vast array service including Luggage unpacking services, ironing/steaming and even a personal shopping service. The staff will never leave you feeling disappointed.

Each villa is beautifully put together through the implementation of world-class interior design and attention to detail. Each suite is equipped with a 65 inch smart TV offering a full bouquet of digital satellite TV Stations, an open lounge with bar and in-room dining with full butler service to ensure maximum comfort and convenience during your stay. Personally, my favourite touch of attention to detail was the gowns and slippers that were offered in the room. These items were extremely luscious, comfortable and were a small reminder of how I was staying in a 5-star luxury hotel. I even landed up keeping the slippers and they are officially my new daily drivers at home.

Despite the near-perfect experience of staying in a Villa Suite, the hotel as a whole has much more to offer outside the bounds of each suite. The Poison Ivy cigar lounge was another favourite for my team and me. It is the perfect room to relax, meet with some friends or even conduct a casual meeting – all while puffing on a Montecristo expertly prepared by one of the hotels butlers. There is also an onsite spa provided by Camelot spas which we, unfortunately, didn’t get the opportunity to experience during our stay.

With the combination of art, location, and people – The Seven Villa Hotel by The Capital is perfect for anyone requiring accommodation for a work stay in central Johannesburg or for anyone looking to spend a weekend of relaxation away without travel out of the city. It is also great for event hosting and conferencing for those looking to host in a centralised location that offers the perfect balance of nature and city living.
