Capella Bangkok was crowned the world's best hotel in 2024. Across Asia-Pacific, the brand pairs design-forward rooms with intuitive service. These are its most acclaimed addresses.
Capella Bangkok (Thailand)
Named the world's best hotel in 2024 by the World's 50 Best Hotels, this riverside property on the Chao Phraya brings an intimacy of just 101 suites and a collection of two-floor river residences to Bangkok. The Auriga Wellness spa and the Woks of Fame culinary program are its defining amenities.
Capella Sydney (Australia)
Set within the meticulously restored 19th-century sandstone buildings of the Department of Education precinct in the Sydney CBD, this hotel is a monument to heritage architecture. The grand sandstone corridors, a basement bathhouse drawing on Roman thermal traditions, and a wine library of 2,500 Australian bottles are its signatures.
Capella Hanoi (Vietnam)
A Bill Bensley-designed Art Nouveau masterpiece in Hanoi's French Quarter, just steps from the Opera House, where over a thousand pieces of operatic memorabilia and gilded 1920s interiors create an immersive theatrical world. The Grand Salon, red velvet bars, and curated opera programming make it unlike any other hotel in Southeast Asia.
Capella Taipei (Taiwan)
A residential-tower hotel in Xinyi district, Taipei's premier luxury corridor, offering panoramic city views and the brand's signature intuitive service. The Auriga Spa and an architecture that speaks to contemporary Taiwanese design establish it as the leading luxury address in the capital.
Capella Shanghai (China)
Set within a restored 1930s Yangjing shikumen neighborhood in the French Concession, comprising 61 suites and villas centered on a courtyard garden. The hotel's approach to Shanghai heritage is among the most serious of any luxury property in the city.
Capella Singapore (Sentosa Island, Singapore)
The flagship that launched the brand, on Sentosa Island, combining restored colonial-era British army barracks with two soaring contemporary wings by Norman Foster and Sir Richard Rogers. The Auriga Spa, three pools, and landscaped grounds on a quiet corner of the island make it a self-contained resort with proximity to the city.
