What Capella stands for
Capella Hotel Group is based in Singapore. Its ten Capella hotels are built around one idea: a stay should be tied to the place it is in (Capella, 21 July 2026).
The ten are in Bangkok, Hainan, Hanoi, Kyoto, Macau, Shanghai, Singapore, Sydney, Taipei and Ubud (Capella’s website, archive copy saved in October 2026).
The ten Capella hotels, with the opening dates Capella gives
| Hotel | Where | Opened |
|---|---|---|
| Capella Bangkok | Bangkok, Thailand | 1 October 2020 |
| Capella Hainan (Tufu Bay) | Hainan, China | Not stated in the Capella pages we read |
| Capella Hanoi | Hanoi, Vietnam | Not stated in the Capella pages we read |
| Capella Kyoto | Kyoto, Japan | 22 March 2026 |
| Capella at Galaxy Macau | Macau, China | 10 February 2026 |
| Capella Shanghai | Shanghai, China | Not stated in the Capella pages we read |
| Capella Singapore | Sentosa, Singapore | 2009 |
| Capella Sydney | Sydney, Australia | March 2023 |
| Capella Taipei | Taipei, Taiwan | April 2025 |
| Capella Ubud | Bali, Indonesia | 2018 |
Capella puts its idea in its own words: “Our vision is to combine tradition, discovery, individuality and a twist of the unexpected, to create the perfect stay for each guest.” (Capella’s website, archive copy saved in October 2026.) Three parts of that idea come up again and again.
The Culturists
Capella calls them “part neighbourhood expert, part intuitive mind-reader”: staff who know the area and plan your days in it.
The Living Room
A shared space at the heart of each hotel that hosts workshops and activities, so guests meet the place and each other.
Auriga
“Auriga Spa, our signature wellness sanctuary inspired by lunar cycles”, Capella’s name for the spa in each hotel.
Capella also says its hotels are designed by world-renowned architects. This film, from the same series, is about the designers.
What changes when a hotel puts its name on a home
A branded residence is a home in a building that carries a hotel’s name and borrows its service. Capella says its residences are for people who like its hospitality and design and want the same at home.
Capella’s website says they are run by “a team of consummate hotel service professionals”, and that you can buy or lease long term (Capella Hotel Group, read 19 October 2026). Capella lists five places under the name.

Capella’s list is from its own website (archive copy saved in October 2026). Each place has its own developer and its own terms.
“The Capella residential experience is more than luxury – it is about a sense of belonging to a place with deep meaning.” Roland Fasel, president of Capella Hotel Group, 12 July 2026.
What Capella says a Bangkok resident gets
A wellness concierge
Residents have a wellness concierge, personalised health protocols and a wellness specialist on demand.
A vitality checkpoint
A checkpoint where biometric monitoring becomes “as routine as a morning coffee”.
A lounge and wellness floors
Round-the-clock access to a residents’ lounge, and floors for social wellness and recreation with an infinity pool, a plunge pool, a spa suite and mindfulness studios.
That is Capella’s description (release of 19 June 2026). Fees, what is included and any membership have not been published.
