About Capella
Sentosa's seventh wonder
Ultra-luxe hotel Capella Singapore is the seventh hotel on the resort island, but experts say there is no overcrowding of rooms
Sentosa's latest hotel - the ultra-luxurious Capella Singapore - opens next month, bringing to seven the number of hotels on the small, 500ha island.
The $400-million hotel designed by renowned British architect Norman Foster is set to be the jewel in Sentosa's crown, with its distinctive figure-eight shape wrapped around two grand colonial buildings restored to their former glory.
It will have 111 rooms from a selection of suites, villas and what the Capella people call 'manor' houses.
Given that the resort island already has 1,200 hotel rooms, and with at least 1,650 more to come within the next three years, it begs the question: Is Sentosa in danger of being 'hoteled'-out?
No, say industry experts who point out that the various hotels cater to different markets.
For example, Capella Singapore's luxury rooms with villas and manors are the first of their kind on Sentosa.
Capella Singapore's market is very high-end: Room rates start from $750 and go up to $7,500 - the priciest on the island.
Sentosa's other hotels cater to either those on a budget, making them popular with families, or the upmarket crowd who can splash out but not to the level of Capella's luxe lot.
