Capella Singapore, hotel and resort located on Sentosa Island, Singapore
Capella Singapore is a luxury hotel on Sentosa Island that combines colonial buildings from the 1880s with contemporary architecture designed by Foster + Partners. The main lobby sits in a restored historic mansion, while modern structures with curved lines, expansive lawns, pools, and art installations spread across the tropical estate.
The hotel sits on grounds that the British military used in the late 1800s, with the original colonial buildings from that era carefully restored and preserved as the hotel's centerpiece. Modern additions were designed to maintain historical character while providing contemporary comfort and amenities.
The white colonial buildings and hundreds of artworks displayed throughout the property reflect Singapore's British heritage and its contemporary artistic identity. Visitors walking the grounds encounter sculptures and paintings that transform the hotel into a living art space, blending historical architecture with modern creative expression.
The hotel sits on Sentosa Island with short walking access to Palawan Beach, though the return path is steep and requires effort. A driver service from Changi Airport, about 25 minutes away, simplifies arrival, and staff can arrange excursions and local transportation.
A large sculpture by artist Bernar Venet greets arriving visitors along the private driveway entrance. The artist's work appears throughout the grounds alongside free-roaming peacocks on the lawns, creating an unexpected artistic setting for a hotel stay.
