CAPELLA MAKES DEBUT IN MACAU'S UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SETTING THROUGH GALAXY PARTNERSHIP

Capella Hotels and Resorts - named the World's Best Hotel Brand by Travel + Leisure's World's Best Awards for three consecutive years - opens its doors in Macau for the first time, introducing its distinctive approach to bespoke luxury.  

The soft opening of Capella at Galaxy Macau, currently offering stays and previews of its food and beverage concepts exclusively by invitation to select guests, represents a significant addition to the region's luxury hospitality landscape.  

Tropical-inspired design reflects dynamism, local geography and heritage

Conceived by Paris-based Moinard Bétaille, the hotel showcases a luxurious tropical jungle theme inspired by the green hills and water elements of Macau. Each of the 17 floors blends the city's spirit with lush, immersive atmospheres that evoke Macau's adventurous spirit and rich history. The lobby features a remarkable immersive digital art wall portraying this theme with a contemporary twist. 

Behind the gilded façade lie 95 accommodations comprising suites and Capella Penthouses with light-filled balconies, private infinity-edge pools, outdoor lounges, sunrooms, hidden winter gardens, butler pantries and screening rooms. 

Strategic Partnership with Galaxy Macau 

“This strategic partnership positions Capella as the pinnacle of luxury hospitality within Galaxy Macau's integrated resort," says Clive Edwards, Senior Vice-President, Operations, Capella Hotel Group.  "As Travel + Leisure's World's Best Hotel Brand for three consecutive years, we set the bar for luxury within this world-class destination. Our guests enjoy unparalleled access to Galaxy's extensive amenities while experiencing a level of personalised service and cultural immersion that only Capella delivers - from our signature Capella Culturists to bespoke experiences that celebrate Macau's extraordinary heritage.”
