Capella Hotel Group maintains prestigious honours for Capella Bangkok, Capella Singapore, Capella Ubud, Capella Shanghai, and Patina Maldives, Fari Islands


Forbes Travel Guide, the global authority on luxury hospitality, has unveiled its coveted constellation of Star Award winners for 2025, celebrating the world's most exceptional hotels, restaurants, spas, and ocean cruise ships. As a master in the craft of hospitality, Capella Hotel Group has garnered distinguished recognition across both its brands, Capella Hotels and Resorts and Patina Hotels & Resorts, further elevating its position as a curator of refined luxury experiences. This year, Capella Hanoi joins the esteemed roster, marking a new milestone for the brand.



Capella Hanoi now joins an exclusive group of Capella properties recognised with the coveted Five-Star rating, alongside Capella Bangkok, Capella Singapore, and Patina Maldives, Fari Islands. Meanwhile Capella Ubud, Bali and Capella Shanghai have retained their Four-Star status, showcasing the brand's continued commitment to providing exceptional experiences to its guests around the globe.



In a celebration of holistic wellness excellence, Capella Bangkok's Auriga Wellness sanctuary and Capella Singapore's Auriga Spa have maintained their positions among the most distinguished Five-Star Spas in Bangkok and Singapore, respectively. These sanctuaries of rejuvenation masterfully blend time honoured healing traditions with contemporary therapeutic innovations.



"We are deeply honoured to receive this prestigious recognition from Forbes Travel Guide, which reflects our continued pursuit of excellence in luxury hospitality," says Cristiano Rinaldi, President of Capella Hotel Group. "This distinction celebrates the artistry and dedication of our teams across both Capella Hotels and Resorts and Patina Hotels & Resorts, who orchestrate moments of profound beauty and meaning for our guests with intentional precision. Through thoughtful cultural immersion and refined personal service, we craft experiences that transcend mere luxury to create bespoke lasting impressions and cherished memories. We are also thrilled to welcome Capella Hanoi into the Five-Star family, adding to our growing collection of award-winning properties."


To commemorate these distinguished accolades, Capella Hotels and Resorts presents Capella Sojourn, an exclusive offer available round the year that embodies the art of crafted hospitality. This experience weaves together privileged access to cultural treasures via Capella Curates, Capella Hotels and Resorts’ signature experiences, each of which are designed to create lifelong memories; masterfully crafted dining experiences; and holistic moments of wellbeing.


Complementing this celebration, Patina Hotels & Resorts introduces the Patina Journey, an innovative offering that resonates with the modern conscious traveller. This thoughtfully composed experience features mindfully designed encounters that spark genuine connections – from sustainable gastronomy that tells the story of each destination, to wellness rituals that restore and rejuvenate. The journey reflects Patina's commitment to creating meaningful marks through purposeful luxury and authentic engagement with place and community.



The year 2025 heralds an exciting chapter in Capella Hotel Group's legacy of excellence, with the unveiling of four extraordinary new destinations. The group will welcome guests to the vibrant heart of Taipei with the opening of Capella Taipei (March), the dynamic entertainment capital of Macau with Capella Macau (Q2), and the timeless beauty of Japan with Capella Kyoto (Q4). Additionally, Patina Hotels & Resorts will expand its presence with its second property, Patina Osaka (April), bringing its distinctive vision of transformative luxury to one of Japan's most dynamic cities.
