With interiors designed by the renowned Paris-based firm Moinard Bētaille — feted as the interior designers for some of the world’s leading luxury brand stores, including the global flagships for Cartier, Breitling, and Audemars Piguet — the new property is on target to set a new standard of expectation for luxury guests arriving in Macau.
Drawing on the lush greenery of Macau’s landscape for inspiration, design agency Moinard Bētaill has created a serene and nature-inspired ambience that is truly unique. Each Sky Villa at Capella at Galaxy Macau features a sun-dappled balcony, transparent infinity-edge pool, outdoor lounge, sunroom and hidden winter garden, creating a tranquil retreat amidst breathtaking surroundings throughout the year.
The luxurious villas are designed to facilitate socialising and come complete with amenities such as a butler pantry, karaoke room with cigar butler and premium stogie collection, private cocktail bar and a games lounge. The suites boast private plunge pools and balconies with commanding views overlooking Macau’s iconic architecture.
Analysing their work, Bruno Moinard and Claire Bētaille of Moinard Bētaille explained the themes of the design: “Galaxy Entertainment Group granted us the exceptional freedom to conceptualise 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.”
Kwan’s Iconic Lounge
Renowned for its category-defining quality and exceptional service, Capella Hotels and Resorts is set to elevate the standards of elegant luxury in Macau.
The property will feature a bold new take on Capella’s signature Living Room, serving as a cultural hub and a hotbed of lively discussion and insightful conversation. ‘Pony & Plume,’ a members-only lounge designed by Hong Kong interior design legend Albert Kwan, will offer an elegant social space adorned with colonial Chinoiserie, providing an exclusive retreat for connoisseurs and aesthetes.
Plume is the invitation-only terrace reserved for dedicated enthusiasts of the finer things in life. The secret venue boasts a display of trinkets and objets d’art from a private collection that incorporates antiques, art, and items from important national icons, such as El Commandante himself.
The bar at Capella at Galaxy Macau, designed once again by Moinard Bētaille and inspired by the equestrian sport of polo, will showcase an exceptional assortment of rare and limited-edition whiskies. A specially curated selection of Japanese whiskies from expert producers will further enhance the bar’s distinctive offerings.
