In recent times, I’ve been writing a series about some of the world’s small luxury hotel groups, including Airelles, Aman, BVLGARI, Cheval Blanc, Oetker, One&Only, Ritz-Carlton Reserve, etc. One brand that I haven’t covered much is Capella Hotels & Resorts, so in this post, I’d like to take a look at that.
While Capella has a small collection of properties, they’re incredibly high quality, and typically represent among the best hotels in their locales. The brand is heavily focused on Asia-Pacific, but we’ll finally see the brand expand beyond that in the next couple of years, and I can’t wait to see how that plays out. There’s also even an interesting loyalty program angle to Capella.
To expand on that a bit, virtually all of the initial Capella properties from a couple of decades ago have been rebranded. For example, Breidenbacher Hof Dusseldorf, Cala de Mar Ixtapa, Rosewood Washington DC, Waldorf Astoria Pedregal Los Cabos, etc., were all former Capella properties.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
