Capital House Boutique Hotel

Capital House is located in the diplomatic enclave of Pretoria, the capital city of South Africa.

This area is considered to be the safest and most beautiful residential area in the city. We are close to the two major retail shopping malls and even closer to small shops, restaurants and golf courses.

This elegant establishment was one of the first guest houses in Pretoria. Over the years it has been selected by heads of state, diplomats and business men as their residence of choice in South Africa.

In 1997, the owners left South Africa to go overseas; for the next nine years, the guest house became the home to three successive Ambassadors from Ireland to the Republic of South Africa. It remained the Irish Ambassador’s residence until February, of 2006 when the owners returned to Pretoria.  After returning, they updated the rooms and installed all the latest technology for your comfort and convenience.

All bedrooms cater to the business traveler or diplomat, who are our top priority. Business needs are catered to at every level. Our business rooms are decorated with unfussy elegance and classic simplicity. These rooms have king or queen sized beds with new, top quality mattresses and elegant high-thread count sheets. Each room has a large desk. They enjoy climate control, good lighting, high pressure showers, deep baths and several have private gardens or balconies. The rooms are very quiet. The entire property has wi-fi and there is DSTV cable to every bedroom.

Directly across the street from the Capital House are the Spanish and Italian Ambassadors homes. In the same street are the residences of the Ambassadors of Finland, Zimbabwe, Brazil and Germany. The long back border of the house is shared with the residences of both the British High Commissioner and the Ambassador from the United States of America. As well as the extremely high level of security these neighbors bring, this is certainly a wonderful place to stroll or jog to see these amazing mansions.

Our very luxurious residence has all the grace and style of a grand, but unpretentious manor home or inn. It has every modern amenity one could hope for. As the house was built as a private home, there are a variety of sizes and shapes to both the guest rooms and relaxation areas. The exterior has an exquisite private swimming pool. It is long enough to do laps for the health conscious or quiet enough to just relax on deck chairs with a cocktail. This is the ideal setting for the more indulgent.
