On August 11, 2025, Galaxy Macau ushered in a new chapter of opulent hospitality with the soft launch of Capella at Galaxy Macau, exclusively unveiled to its most distinguished VIP guests. This invitation-only preview marks the highly anticipated debut of Galaxy Entertainment Group’s (GEG) tenth ultra‑luxury hotel, seamlessly integrated into Asia’s premier integrated resort.

Towering across 17 stories, the property captivates from its gilded porte cochère to its meticulously crafted interiors by the acclaimed Paris-based design duo Moinard Bētaille. Their jungle-inspired aesthetic—featuring luminous Sky Villas and art‑filled suites—evokes Macau’s lush tropical landscapes while embracing its rich Portuguese‑Chinese heritage.

Guests are invited to experience the pinnacle of indulgence through a collection of 95 private havens, including Sky Villas boasting transparent, infinity-edge plunge pools, outdoor lounges, hidden winter gardens, and dedicated butler pantries. Each suite offers private plunge pools and sweeping views of Macau’s glittering skyline.

The partnership with Capella Hotels and Resorts, recently crowned the No. 1 Hotel Brand in the World by Travel + Leisure for three consecutive years, ensures that every aspect of a guest’s stay reflects handcrafted elegance, cultural authenticity, and personalized service. GEG’s Vice Chairman, Francis Lui, emphasized the significance of this collaboration, stating, “We are thrilled to create this magnificent embodiment of ultra‑luxury 21st‑century hospitality in partnership with Capella Hotels and Resorts… enabling the world’s most discerning guests to forge new and authentic connections with Macau”.

Culinary artistry and social sophistication converge within the property’s distinctive venues. A bespoke epicurean experience is being shaped by Michelin‑starred Chef Vicky Cheng, whose first international restaurant is poised to become the region's most anticipated dining debut in 2025. Complementing this is Pony & Plume, an equestrian‑polo‑inspired, members‑only lounge conceived by design luminary Albert Kwan, offering fine whiskies, vintage cuban cigars, and an al fresco ambiance steeped in exclusivity.

Beyond the allure of its luxury appointments, the soft launch of Capella at Galaxy Macau has delivered immediate commercial impact: during its May 2025 preview phase, the property spurred a 25–30 % surge in VIP turnover, underscoring GEG’s strategic pivot towards premium non‑gaming revenues.

As Macau continues its evolution into a “World Centre of Tourism and Leisure,” Capella at Galaxy Macau stands as both a luxurious destination and a strategic milestone—one that marries refined design, cultural narrative, and economic foresight to craft an emblem of contemporary hospitality finesse in the Greater Bay Area.
