Galaxy Entertainment Group has officially opened Capella at Galaxy Macau, positioning the ultra-luxury property squarely at the “top percentile” of VIP and premium clientele.

The launch strengthens Galaxy’s Cotai footprint and reinforces Macau’s broader shift toward high-end, non-gaming diversification under the renewed 10-year concession framework.

Francis Lui: “Quality-Driven Growth”

Chairman Francis Lui described the opening as a milestone in Galaxy’s long-term strategy to elevate Macau’s global tourism standing.

“The opening of Capella at Galaxy Macau marks an important milestone in our long-term vision to elevate Macau’s standing as a world-class tourism and leisure destination. This is not simply the launch of another hotel — it represents our commitment to delivering exceptional, highly personalized experiences for the most discerning global travelers.

Macau’s future lies in quality-driven growth. Through continued investment in luxury hospitality, arts, culture and entertainment, we aim to support the SAR Government’s diversification strategy while strengthening the competitiveness of our integrated resort offering.

At Galaxy, we believe sustainable success is built on innovation, service excellence and long-term commitment to Macau. Capella embodies that philosophy — setting a new benchmark in ultra-luxury hospitality tailored for the top percentile of our guests.”

His remarks align with the government’s expectations that operators deepen non-gaming offerings while enhancing Macau’s international appeal.

Ultra-Luxury as Competitive Positioning

Capella is globally recognized for bespoke service, privacy and villa-style accommodation. For Galaxy, the property serves several strategic objectives:

• Strengthening direct relationships with ultra-high-net-worth guests

• Increasing high-margin room revenue and ancillary spend

• Enhancing brand differentiation in a competitive Cotai market

• Supporting a margin-focused VIP strategy rather than volume-driven growth

Industry data suggests Macau’s recovery continues to be led by premium mass and selectively rebuilt direct VIP play, rather than the large-scale junket model of the past.

Concession Era 2.0: Signalling Commitment

Since concession renewals in 2022, Macau operators have pledged expanded non-gaming investment in hospitality, entertainment and cultural initiatives. Capella’s launch fits squarely within that framework.

By adding an ultra-luxury layer to the broader Galaxy Macau ecosystem, Galaxy strengthens its tiered hospitality model — offering differentiated experiences while capturing higher-yield segments.
