Planting the Capella flag in Asia, one city at a time

THESE are exhilarating times for everyone who works at the Capella Hotel Group.

Last month, it was reported that Singapore's Kwee family had bought the ultra-luxe hospitality company from veteran hotelier and Ritz-Carlton founding president Horst Schulze.

The deal - the terms of which were not publicly disclosed - also resulted in Capella relocating its global headquarters from Atlanta, Georgia (in the United States), to Singapore.
