In the world of ultra-luxury hospitality, few names evoke the same sense of refined elegance and personalized service as Capella Hotels and Resorts. With a collection of properties spanning the Asia-Pacific — and ambitious global openings on the horizon — Capella has carved out a niche that melds local authenticity with unparalleled luxury. From rainforest retreats to heritage restorations and urbane riverfront sanctuaries, each Capella hotel is a destination in its own right.
1. Capella Ubud, Bali — A World No. 1 Retreat
Topping global rankings as the #1 hotel in the world, Capella Ubud is a sanctuary nestled deep within the lush, vibrant rainforest of Bali. Here, luxury takes on a soulful dimension — guests stay in individually curated tented pavilions set among tropical greenery, with immersive experiences designed around Balinese culture, arts, cuisine, and nature.
Whether it’s a private walk through the jungle, a Balinese healing session, or a candlelit dinner under the stars, Capella Ubud blurs the line between retreat and transformation — making it unsurprising that it claims the top spot worldwide.
2. Capella Bangkok — Riverside Elegance at Its Finest
Ranked #3 in the world, Capella Bangkok exemplifies the group’s ability to translate urban energy into serene luxury. Dramatically positioned on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, every room and suite features floor-to-ceiling windows framing spectacular water views — a daily spectacle of boats, temples, sunsets, and city lights.
Capella Bangkok blends contemporary design with Thai artisanship, creating spaces that feel connected to place and culture. From signature dining with river panoramas to bespoke wellness journeys, this oasis in Thailand’s bustling capital is a standout in every sense.
3. Capella Sydney — Heritage Meets Modern Luxury
In Australia’s iconic harbour city, Capella Sydney reinvents a restored 1912 heritage building to serve as a sophisticated urban retreat. Ranked #12 in the world, the hotel preserves architectural character while outfitting interiors with modern comforts and elegant design language.
Centrally located and deeply connected to Sydney’s vibrant cultural and culinary scenes, Capella Sydney invites travelers to explore the best of the city — then return to sanctuary-like rooms, bespoke service, and quiet luxury.
4. Capella Singapore — Island Sophistication on Sentosa
Situated on Sentosa Island, Singapore’s premier resort destination, Capella Singapore is a tropical escape within a global metropolis. Consistently recognized as one of the world’s most desirable hotel experiences — most recently #32 globally — it balances gracious service with refined design and memorable culinary offerings.
With lush gardens, expansive suites, and close proximity to Singapore’s cultural and entertainment attractions, Capella Singapore is perfect for both discerning city explorers and those seeking tranquil respite.
5. Capella Shanghai & Hanoi — Urban Luxury With Local Soul
Capella’s footprint extends into two vibrant Asian metropolises:
Capella Shanghai — where contemporary design meets the dynamic energy of China’s most cosmopolitan city.
Capella Hanoi — a jewel in Vietnam’s capital, blending heritage influences with modern comforts.
Each property is thoughtfully crafted to reflect its city’s history, culture, and pace of life — while delivering the impeccable service Capella is known for.
New Horizons: Kyoto & Florence
Capella’s expansion continues with properties opening soon in Kyoto, Japan, and Florence, Italy — two cities steeped in history and art. These upcoming destinations promise the same bespoke experiences that have made Capella a name travelers trust and seek out, blending local heritage with contemporary luxury.
Why Capella Stands Apart
What unites all Capella properties is a commitment to personalized experiences. Whether through curated cultural encounters, bespoke wellness programs, or intimate dining moments, Capella crafts stays that feel uniquely tailored to each guest.
Travelers seeking more than just a room — those who want to be inspired, soothed, and transformed — will find Capella’s collection not just hotels, but gateways to authentic, elevated experiences.
From Bali’s rainforest to Bangkok’s river, Sydney’s heritage to Singapore’s island chic — Capella continues to define what luxury hospitality can be in the 21st century.
