Capella Singapore

The villa itself was stunning, impeccably maintained, and designed with such care that we felt both spoiled and at home at the same time. The lush grounds and the serene atmosphere created the perfect backdrop for our family holiday. Our children were made to feel just as welcome as the adults, which made the stay effortless and joyful for us as parents. Equally important was the service. Every member of the team we encountered was not only highly professional but also genuinely warm and caring. From the housekeeping staff who anticipated our needs before we even mentioned them, to the concierge and culturists who went above and beyond to personalize our experience, to the spa team who provided world-class treatments, we were consistently impressed. The seamless luggage transfer from our previous hotel, the thoughtful arrangements at the restaurants, and even the smallest gestures like a smile or a kind word,were all noticed and deeply appreciated.

The room is clean, spacious and cosy. Special compliments to Ms Elina of front desk for her warm service. Had a great time

Had a five night stay with my almost adult daughter here. Very attentive service, one of the three most wonderful breakfasts I have been blessed to experience in my life (Ikos in Korfu, Pearl Hyatt Abu Dhabi, Mauna Kea a long time ago) with almost eveything from the buffet plus 26 things from the menu such as onsen eggs, crushed avocado toasts and Benedicts. Lovely Pools, one with kids, one without, one 25 m rectangular pool with only two loungers that we managed to snatch for a few hours. Nice Bar, We tried the Chinese restaurant (very good but very Chinese for a European 16 year old, I loved it). Had a room with a private pool and yes it was expensive but a special summer and we adored it. Hotel offers a free shuttle to Universal Studios and the nearest mall (whichis the best unless you are looking for super high end, this is good shopping on medium budget, no Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton). You can walk to the beach in 3 min , maybe 5 , depending on room location, beach is nice but not serviced- there is a really nice looking beach club but that was adults only. Maybe in 2 years. Next time in Singapore I would want to go back here (even if I understand Trump came here during his first presidency to meet with Korea- not sure which Korea, some driver talked…:Anyway, very wonderful place, will try to come back but it is expensive.

We had a lovely 2 night staycation to celebrate our chihuahua's 11th birthday - Capella truly knows how to spoil a pet on her birthday with a homemade pet cake and homemade pet biscuits. We have stayed at Capella 1-2 times every year for 11 years and we wouldn't go anywhere else for a staycation with our chihuahua - we like the flexibility of not having to book specific room-types and/or pet-packages. What made this stay even better is that we were able to dine (al fresco) with our chihuahua at Bob's Bar and Fiamma - this truly made this a family holiday :) The villa is beautiful and spacious with a few areas to sit and relax with book or a glass of wine. The property is very well maintained and the service is impeccable. We are able to immediately shift to relaxation mode the minute we check in. We received full GHA Titanium membership perks - early and late check out, room upgrade and welcome fruit basket. Thank you Capella, we will definitely be back again :)

This is not the place to stay during a first visit to Singapore. It's just too far out of the core of the city. But if you have stayed downtown previously, I would definitely recommend the Capella, and certainly would recommend vs the hotels on Orchard Road. The architecture is truly remarkable. OK, reading some of the other reviews, maybe not everyone loves it, but I think it's fantastic. A deft mix of more historical buildings and new architecture, just beautiful. I was worried that Sentosa island might be touristy or just kind of junky, since there are amusement parks and things like that. It's not. Really quite lovely. The back exit from the hotel down to the beach is handy. I could have spent a few more days on the island without getting bored. We took the cable car up to Mount Faber and, even on a really steamy day, it was very nice to walk up there, beautiful views of the city and some interesting architecture to see. Capella charges a significant premium even compared to other luxury hotel brands. I waited to stay here until I could find a relatively good rate (still expensive by any standard, only the Raffles is as consistently pricey), and felt like it was worth it, when you factor in things like the nice afternoon tea, free local transportation, etc. Of course, it helps that we got an upgrade due to GHADiscovery status, to a gorgeous suite with a view. Capella clearly views this flagship property as a keystone of their claim to being one of the great ultra-luxury hotel chains of the world, and it's a pretty strong argument. The only slight weakness was sometimes the service, which is always the foundation of a truly world-class hotel. Don't get me wrong, the service was generally very good, and frequently excellent. But in contrast to, say, the original Mandarin Oriental in Bangkok or other hotels that would make my personal "best in the world" list, the service just seemed a little unpolished at times. The staff are mostly young and eager to help, just not highly experienced. Simply due to the young age of the hotel, there aren't any staff that have been there for decades and know everything about it, the sort of staff who make excellent service look easy. But I think back frequently to my stay there, and the feeling of serenity and being in a truly beautiful place.
