Capella Bangkok is set to become the most exciting new luxury five-star resort in Thailand when it opens in late 2019.

The first hotel in two decades to open along the banks of the River of Kings (Chao Phraya River), the launch will showcase a collection of the city’s first opulent riverfront villas.

Capella Hotels are built upon the legacy of crafted luxury design combined with the highest level of personalised service that is both unique and memorable.

Set in the heart of the blossoming creative neighbourhoods of Chao Phraya and Charoenkrung, with 101 villas and suites, Capella Bangkok will be the first urban Thai property from hospitality brand, Capella Hotel Group.

Positioned within the 14-acre Chao Phraya Estate development, Capella Bangkok’s 350 metre riverside setting means each villa and suite will enjoy unobstructed views of the river.

Capella Bangkok’s signature restaurant will be curated by celebrated Michelin-starred chef Mauro Colagreco while in the spa, Auriga Wellness will offer an impressive list of carefully curated Asian therapies that will combine traditional techniques with contemporary solutions.

A lifestyle hub in the heart of the hotel will be the Capella Living Room.

A river-facing lounge filled with natural light, it is hoped the space will be a cultural magnet hosting a carousel of local artisans, musicians and chefs and will reflect the neighbourhood’s passion for food, wellness and culture.
