Galaxy Entertainment Group has announced a landmark tie-up with Capella Hotels and Resorts.
Galaxy Macau will be home to the first Capella property in the Greater Bay Area (GBA).
Opening in mid-2025, the Capella brand will join the world’s largest collection of nine high-end hotels under one roof at Galaxy Macau.
The 17-storey Capella at Galaxy Macau will offer 36 ‘Sky Villas’ and 57 suites.
Each ‘Sky Villa’ features a balcony with a transparent infinity-edge pool, outdoor lounge, sunroom, and hidden winter garden, and they come with added amenities such as a butler pantry, a karaoke room with a cigar butler and premium collection, a private cocktail bar, and a games lounge.
The 57 suites have private plunge pools and balconies with panoramic views of Macau.
Designed by the renowned Paris-based firm Moinard Bētaille, the interiors are said to be drawing inspiration from the jungle, and Macau’s lush green hills.
“Galaxy Entertainment Group granted us the exceptional freedom to conceptualize Capella at Galaxy Macau.
Macau’s adventurous spirit and rich history inspired our tropical jungle theme, evoking feelings of generosity and modernity, punctuated by delightful surprises for guests.
A central element of this project is our profound connection with water, inviting guests to imagine themselves suspended in their glistening pool,” Bruno Moinard and Claire Bētaille of Moinard Bētaille said.
The new property at Galaxy Macau says it will present a bold new take on Capella’s signature Living Room, in addition to ‘Pony & Plume’ housing a members-only lounge designed by Hong Kong interior designer Albert Kwan, who has created spaces including Hong Kong’s China Club and Cipriani and London’s China Tang.
Inspired by the game of equestrian polo, the Moinard Bētaille designed bar at Capella at Galaxy Macau will feature rare and limited-edition whiskies, including what it calls a “curated programme of Japanese whiskies of provenance”.
On the culinary front, Capella at Galaxy Macau says it will collaborate with thought leaders in gastronomy, including partnering with Hong Kong culinary star, ‘Asia’s 50 Best’ and Michelin-starred Chef and Krug Ambassade Vicky Cheng.
Chef Cheng’s first fine-dining international eatery is set to be the region’s most anticipated new opening in 2025, and Capella at Galaxy Macau will offer guests exclusive access to his proprietary restaurant concept, which celebrates the best of homegrown talent in the Greater Bay Area in collaboration with Hong Kong interior design tour de force, Joyce Wang.
In addition, Capella at Galaxy Macau will feature an all-day dining restaurant offering an array of authentic Macau gastronomic experiences.
Galaxy Macau currently hosts eight luxury hotels with close to 5,000 rooms, suites and villas, including Banyan Tree Macau, Galaxy Hotel, Hotel Okura Macau, JW Marriott Hotel Macau, The Ritz-Carlton, Raffles at Galaxy Macau, Andaz Macau and Broadway Hotel.
Unique to Galaxy Macau, the 75,000sqm Grand Resort Deck features the world’s longest Skytop Adventure Rapids at 575 meters, the largest Skytop Wave Pool with waves up to 1.5 meters high and a 150-meter pristine white sand beach.
