About Capella at Galaxy Macau
- Pony & Plume, Capella's in-house whisky bar, holds over 650 bottles arranged in an illuminated pyramid by flavour intensity, with a locked cabinet of 'unicorn' whiskies, final pours from vintage casks, chosen by whisky consultant Blair Bowman; it is the first bar of its kind in Macau.
- The hotel received a Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Award on the day of its official opening in February 2026, making it one of very few hotels globally to earn the rating at launch.
- Galaxy Macau now holds six Forbes Five-Star hotels under one roof, the most of any single integrated resort in the world, with Capella's arrival in 2026 pushing the resort's total Five-Star count to 12, a record it has broken for four consecutive years.
History
Opened February 2026 as a 'gilded jungle' sanctuary within Galaxy Macau, one of Asia's largest integrated entertainment resorts. The all-suite Capella occupies a dedicated 17-storey tower with 95 suites and penthouses — billed as the largest rooms in Southern China, with four-bedroom penthouses approaching 700 m².
The setting
Capella at Galaxy Macau occupies a dedicated 17-storey tower within the Galaxy Macau integrated resort in Cotai — the reclaimed-land resort corridor that has grown from a single development in 2011 into Asia's most expansive luxury hotel precinct. With just 95 penthouses and suites designed by Paris-based Moinard Bétaille, drawing on Macau's jungle-clad hills, the hotel brings rare intimacy to a precinct of spectacle. The Venetian Macao Casino lies 20 minutes on foot; Galaxy's wave pool, arena, and curated dining are steps away. The address sits amid a cluster of landmark luxury hotels, positioning guests at the heart of Cotai while the airport is accessible in under 10 minutes by transit.
