For those looking to visit the Mother City this winter there’s another bit of good news – The Capital Mirage Hotel is up and running, and since its launch in December it has set tongues wagging in a very good way.

Standout style, winter warmth, it has quickly become a firm favourite with travellers and locals alike. We’re even going to throw a little prezzie the way of one lucky reader, but more about that later.

To get the ball rolling they are offering a Winter Special offer, with rooms starting from R1 530 per night.

That means all the goodies you need when it gets frosty –  underfloor heating, carpeted rooms, Nespresso machines, extensive satellite stations and DVD players, and in-room dining and on-site restaurants.

Located in De Waterkant district, on the fringes of the Bo-Kaap and walking distance from the V&A Waterfront, it’s the perfect place to set off from and explore our lekker city.

A total of 65 oversized rooms and apartments offer a selection of luxury and superior studios or one, two, or three bedroom apartments. Stunning floor to ceiling vistas, immaculate en-suite bathrooms and inviting lounges with oversized LED televisions are all offered.

The Capital Mirage is perfect for extended stays because it boasts fully equipped kitchens including stoves, ovens, washing machines, tumble dryers, and amenities such as complimentary laundry, a well equipped gym, free parking, etc.

Some more strings to the bow? Fine, let’s have a run through:

• Uncapped high speed Wi-Fi, HD full-bouquet satellite television, extra length beds, and free scheduled shuttles are all part of the value add provided.
• Three restaurants to choose from, and in-room dining provided by the Cattle Baron, with the Gin & Snooker lounge, as well as The Vue Skybar, situated on the hotel’s rooftop.
