LUXURY

Capella
Sentosa Island, Singapore
It may not be a brand that you have heard of, but in the heavyweight division of the
luxury market, Capella is a fearsome competitor which is fast earning a reputation for
not only rivalling the world’s finest, but setting a new standard all its own. Capella
Singapore exemplifies all that is required to be regarded as a truly great hotel and it
was my privilege to experience all that it had to offer.
Once your reservation is confirmed, the first-class service commences. Before arrival
you are contacted by your very own personal assistant who will happily organise
every detail of your stay. Whether it be securing a seat in an ‘impossible to get into’
restaurant, or booking an airport transfer in one of the in-house Rolls-Royce Phantoms,
they will customise an entire itinerary and provide preferential service for the entirety
of your visit.
Nestled amid 30-acres of lush rainforest with the South China Sea as its backdrop,
Capella Singapore enjoys a prime elevated position on Sentosa Island. Space on this
scale is indeed a rarity in Singapore and this peaceful sanctuary feels a world away
from the hustle and bustle of Orchard Road, yet it’s just minutes away.
Designed by famed London architects, Foster & Partners, Capella Singapore is a
masterful fusion of old and new. Two beautifully restored 1880’s British colonial
buildings form the heart of the property while newly built modern, curved additions
blend seamlessly, creating an outstanding example of intelligent design.
