Awards! Accompanying this grand title is Capella Hotels and Resorts
ranking No.2 Hotel Brand in the World.
“We are extremely honoured to receive
these prestigious recognitions. These awards are a clear reflection of the
passion, care and attention to detail our colleagues have placed into creating
each exceptional Capella destination. Our vision to create the perfect stay is
only made possible due to their dedication in providing the highest levels of
personalised service and curating experiences that celebrate our communities
and their culture”, said Nicholas M. Clayton, CEO, Capella Hotels and Resorts.
Constantly pushing the envelope,
Capella Hotels and Resorts is lauded for being masters in the craft of
hospitality, with its award-winning designs and polished experiences that come
with a twist of the unexpected. Guests of Capella are given the opportunity to
fully immerse into the local way of life thanks to the expert team of Capella
Culturist, who spend time scouring each locale they are based in, leaving no
leaf unturned in their quest to provide guests with unforgettable moments.
Part-time neighbourhood expert,
part-time intuitive mind-reader, the Capella Culturist are champions of
meaningful discovery and keepers of the destination’s storied past and present.
Explorers, they take pride in unlocking new skills, gathering unforgettable
curated experiences and immersing into the local culture to engage and discover
local heritage and culture. They understand that the fascinating people you
meet along the way enrich your travel experience and seek to bridge the gap
between the local community and guests with Capella Curates.
Capella Curates are on- and off-site
experiences designed to become lifelong memories. From discovering unique
rituals of ethnic minorities to learning how to make traditional Indonesian
elixir, the Capella Culturist spearheaded this initiative to give guests a
glimpse into the soul of each destination.
To thank voters and guests for their
never-ending support, Capella Hotels and Resorts have launched a ‘Dream
Now, Travel Later’ offer across all properties. The limited-time
package presents exclusive rates for guests to experience Capella’s philosophy
of curating visionary experiences and culture for when travel resumes.
Capella Hotels and Resorts’ global
expansion plans are on track with exciting new hotels in the pipeline. Set to
open late this year is the highly-anticipated Capella
Bangkok featuring expansive suites and villas
overlooking the Chao Phraya River as well as three-Michelin-starred chef Mauro
Colagreco’s first foray into Asia. Following Bangkok will be the unveiling of
Capella Hanoi, which is also designed by Bill Bensley and features 47 rooms and
suites that will transport guests back to the romantic era of Opera in the
Roaring Twenties.
The World’s Best Awards are the
result of votes from Travel + Leisure’s readers and hotels are rated on the
following characteristics: rooms, facilities, location, service, food and
value. Capella Ubud was also voted the No.1 Resort Hotel in Asia and the No.1
