Hong Kong-based practice André Fu Studio has given the rooms of Capella Singapore a new look as part of the hotel’s recent refurbishment
Even with the blitz of hotel openings and more new properties coming up, you can count on the stalwart names for excellent hospitality and a relaxing day away from home. The ongoing travel restrictions have heightened interest in daycations (mini half-day getaways) and staycations (including themed ones where you can bring your pets), as many of us look to recreate a holiday mood at local hotels and resorts.
Among the properties of note is Capella Singapore, a sprawling resort designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Norman Foster and late interior designer Jaya Ibrahim. The six-star hotel opened in 2009 and has recently undergone a year-long renovation by André Fu Studio that gives its rooms and villas a subtle and soothing design refresh.

Comprising two colonial bungalows from the late 19th century, the refurbishment of the 110 suites and villas features a calming, earthy palette livened up by green accents that reference the flourishing greenery surrounding the property. The custom furnishings combine tropical elements with mid-century influences with its curvy silhouettes and organic textures while taking reference from Fu’s eponymous home decor and furniture brand André Fu Living.
