Capella Hotel Group is set to expand its portfolio with four new properties across Asia in 2025, featuring collaborations with world-renowned architects and designers. The expansion includes properties in Taipei, Taiwan; Macau, China; Kyoto, Japan; and Osaka, Japan, scheduled to open throughout the year.
The new properties showcase distinct architectural approaches that aim to capture the cultural essence of each location.
Capella Taipei, designed by Andre Fu Studio, will open in the first quarter of 2025 along Dunhua North Road with 86 keys. The property will feature floor-to-ceiling windows with views of Taipei 101 and five dining venues.
Capella at Galaxy Macau, developed by Moinard Betaille, will debut in the second quarter of 2025 with 93 guestrooms. The property draws inspiration from Macau's tropical landscapes and Portuguese-Chinese architectural heritage, offering Sky Villas and suites that reflect the destination's cultural context.
Patina Osaka, a 221-key property by Jun Mitsui & Associates and Strickland, is also set to open in the second quarter of next year. Located near Osaka Castle, the hotel's design concept is inspired by water and Japanese aesthetics, featuring a dramatic, 20th-floor arrival experience and a signature restaurant celebrating Japan's 72 “micro-seasons.”
Finally, Capella Kyoto, a collaboration between Kengo Kuma & Associates and Brewin Design Office, will open in the fourth quarter of 2025. The 89-guestroom property is situated in the historic Miyagawa-cho district, drawing from the neighborhood's cultural heritage and Zen Buddhist aesthetics.
"Each Capella property is inspired by the soul of its destination," said Cristiano Rinaldi, president of Capella Hotel Group. "Our expansion strategy reflects three key principles: selecting destinations with rich cultural narratives, partnering with world-renowned architects who understand our vision of cultural authenticity, and maintaining an intimate scale across most properties to ensure highly personalized service."
The group currently operates eight properties and plans to expand to 12 by the end of 2025, with an ambitious goal of doubling its portfolio by 2030. Future projects include a branded residential development in Seoul, South Korea, and hotels in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and Tianjin, China.
