The visit and stay at Capella Hotel Singapore is more than just a hotel experience, as it is a luxurious, great escape from the tropical world that blends modern style with old World charm. Tucked away in the lush Sentosa landscape, the hotel offers visitors and locals an elegant retreat with colonial architecture, manicured courtyards and delightful amenities.

Designed by the late Jaya Ibrahim, the 110 suites and villas are the perfect hideaway for Capella Singapore. The renowned Indonesian designer has worked his magic here, giving rooms a balanced symmetry and less luxury. While on the surface these suites and villas are perfect in many ways, they are still in the midst of a recent renovation program.

For this renovation, André Fu and his design team AFSO sought to respect the original intent while injecting the level of luxury that modern hotel guests have come to expect. The design needs to reflect the fact that people use Spaces differently today, and Andre Fu hopes his presence can complement that. He believes that Jaya represents the first generation of modern Asian designers, and that the design language of Indonesian designers is pure and emotional, reflecting the stance of Southeast Asian design at the time, as it was and is.

For André Fu, today's design spans cultures and geography, whether it's in Singapore, Tokyo or London, so designing a new room is not about novelty. It is about developing a space through design, in a renovated room at Capella Hotel Singapore, which he sees as a dialogue between himself and Jaya in imagination.

André Fu used dramatic elements in the design of the project, however, the feeling is so soft. He infused the hotel with modern elements without losing the hotel's heritage. In fact, he adds to the timeless nature of the hotel.
