This Hotel Has Been Voted Among the Best in Singapore for 5 Years in a Row
Capella Singapore has been named among the best hotels in Singapore for the last five years, according to T+L's World's Best Awards survey. The spacious guest rooms, complete with private balconies and Aesop bath products, offer views of either the South China Sea or the hotel's lush gardens. The dining options include traditional Cantonese and Italian cuisine, along with a casual happy-hour-style offering. Guests can choose between three different pools, along with access to the sandy Palawan Beach. While the hotel is the epitome of tranquility, it is a short drive from downtown Singapore and Changi Airport. As a New Yorker, getting 'outside the city' usually means navigating multiple types of transportation, lugging a suitcase up and down subway stairs, and experiencing some of the stress I'm trying to escape from in the first place. So when I found out I could get all the rest and relaxation I needed just 15 minutes outside Singapore's city center, my stay at Capella Singapore was already paradise found. As a first timer in Singapore, I started my visit by taking in the sights of the city, with the Marina Bay area as my home base. But by the time I headed to Capella Singapore, which T+L readers have named among the best hotels in Singapore for five years in a row, I was ready for some peace and quiet. Capella Singapore is the flagship stay of Capella Hotels and Resorts, which recently expanded its portfolio with outposts in Taipei and Osaka. The interior of the hotels lobby. The resort is located on Sentosa Island, a destination with resorts, retailers, restaurants, and even a Universal Studios theme park. But while tourists and locals may find modern attractions on the island, the grounds of Capella are steeped in history as it was a base and living quarters for British Royal Artillery officers in the 1880s. Sprinkled with touches of colonial architecture, the hotel's nod to its historic roots is evident throughout. Capella Singapore. Fittingly, sentosa means 'peace' and 'tranquility' in Malay, and that's exactly what I found here. Below, my hotel review of Capella Singapore. Upon walking into my Premiere Seaview room, I instantly felt a sense of calm wash over me after days of the hustle and bustle on the mainland. With a direct view of the South China Sea from the bed, along with its neutral aesthetic, the space proved a much-needed oasis of tranquility. All guest rooms in the hotel have either a balcony or a terrace, and I could see mine from the massive tub and shower area, stocked with Aesop toiletries. The dual sink and closet make the room ideal for a couple, but I can't say I minded having this large, relaxing space to myself. Accommodations also feature a fully stocked mini bar, a coffee machine, a desk, and a couch for extra seating. As for in-room tech, the television had Chromecast connectivity, making it easy to keep up with the Netflix series I started on the plane. Additionally, guests can choose from 40 Garden and four Constellation rooms, with the latter featuring rooftop Jacuzzis. The standalone Capella Manor and two Colonial Manors were recently renovated and offer utmost privacy on the outskirts of the 30-acre resort. On-site dining options include three restaurants, a cocktail bar, lounge space, and 24-hour room service. I visited two of the restaurants during my stay and also indulged in in-room dining. (Because once in a while, dinner in a bathrobe is the perfect way to end a day.) Upon arrival, I headed to Cassia, a beautiful, contemporary Cantonese outlet, where I was served bites from chef Alan Chan's dim sum selection and a delicious soup. Cassia also offers two prix-fixe tasting menus. I also stopped by Bob's Bar, a covered outdoor lounge space overlooking one of the pools. Starting with a selection of snacks, including chips and a crunchy pretzel mix, I moved on to wok-fried beef cubes with onions, peppers, and pepper sauce over steamed rice. The menu boasts a vast selection of options, such as a wagyu burger, butter chicken masala, and a variety of pasta dishes. While I dug into dinner, I was joined by one of the hotel's famed peacocks that are known to roam the grounds. One of the hotel's famed peacocks that are known to roam the grounds. Christine Burroni/Travel + Leisure Though I didn't dine at Fiamma, the Italian restaurant, I peeked inside on the weekend and saw the space buzzing with guests enjoying its signature Champagne Brunch. The hotel also hosts afternoon tea with cakes and small bites in the elegant Living Room, housed in a colonial bungalow dating back to the 1880s. And for guests looking to imbibe in a sleek, vibey space, The Pineapple Room is the perfect setting. It's an elevated haunt, serving inventive cocktails, a vast wine selection, and bar fare, including truffle fries and chicken satay. The scenic cascading pools. Christine Burroni/Travel + Leisure While rest and relaxation are encouraged, there's no shortage of things to do for all ages. For starters, there are three pools—an adults-only, a kids', and a lap pool—as well as direct access to Palawan Beach. For a wellness-minded experience, head to the hotel's 24-hour gym or sign up for a yoga class on Sundays. Capella Singapore also hosts a bath bomb-making workshop four times a week, allowing guests to create something they can use the next time they take a soak in their room's tub. Peranakan tile-painting and charm-making classes are a fun, hands-on way to experience Singaporean culture. The hotel also hosts pop-up craft workshops throughout the year, including jewelry-making and leatherwork. I also went on a guided heritage and art tour around the hotel, during which I learned about its history as a former barracks in colonial times. The Capella Curates program offers handpicked experiences that give guests a glimpse into Singaporean traditions and history. I booked the "A Walk on the Art Side' immersive tour, led by Everyday Tour Company, which showcased Singapore's impressive murals and local enclaves, including Little India, where we stopped for dosa, temple visits, and even a henna tattoo. In Chinatown, we visited more temples and popped into the Anthony Bourdain-approved Maxwell Hawker Centre food hall for chicken and rice. The hotel also offers transportation to the island's dining and shopping area, VivoCity, and the Universal Studios theme park. Singapore's downtown area is a 15-minute taxi ride away. (Grab, Singapore's equivalent of Uber, is also available). Capella Singapore's Auriga Spa is the epitome of serenity. My entire experience there—from entering the beautiful and calming space to my perfectly curated massage and lounging in the spa's relaxation room—completely erased any lingering discomfort from my 19-hour flight and busy days as a tourist. The spa offers a variety of treatments, including body wraps, facials, rituals such as sound therapy, and also boasts facilities like vitality pools and an herbal steam room. Capella Singapore caters to families with numerous on-site activities and features, including a designated kids' pool and walking access to the sandy Palawan Beach. Kid-friendly menus are offered in restaurants, and families can book a variety of multi-room accommodations. For indoor fun, the Living Room is a great spot for games and reading. The hotel also hosts kid-friendly cooking classes and scavenger hunts. Capella Singapore has been awarded a certification from sustainability group Earthcheck. To maintain its designation, the hotel has swapped plastic water bottles for glass, started collecting rainwater for its lush landscaping, and uses solar panels. The hotel is wheelchair accessible, with elevators and ramps, and also offers select wheelchair-friendly rooms. Although Capella Singapore may seem isolated—in the best way—it's close to VivoCity, a hub for tourist-friendly activities, such as shopping and dining. There, visitors can find everything from brand-name clothing stores to a variety of eateries, as well as Resorts World Sentosa, home to Universal Studios Singapore, the Singapore Oceanarium, Dolphin Island, and Adventure Cove Waterpark. (The hotel offers shuttle service to both VivoCity and Resorts World Sentosa.) Capella Singapore is less than 30 minutes away from Changi Airport (SIN). Capella Hotels and Resorts has a loyalty program, Capella Discover, which allows guests to earn Discover Dollars during their stays at the brand's hotels and then redeem them for dining, spa treatments, and more. Capella Singapore is part of American Express Fine Hotels + Resorts, offering cardholders a $100 resort credit, room upgrades, and daily breakfast for two. Before booking, consult the hotel's Offers page for the latest discounts and packages. Nightly rates at Capella Singapore start at $630.

How I Travel: Rescue Spa's Danuta Mieloch
For celebrated esthetician Danuta Mieloch, travel is more than a journey. It's a source of inspiration. Meiloch was born in Poland and honed her skincare expertise in Paris. Now, she travels between her home bases of New York and Philadelphia, bringing a global lens to beauty and wellness to Rescue Spa - the destination for skin and bodycare that's become a cult favorite among beauty editors and A-listers alike. In 2022 Mierloch launched her own skincare collection, Danucera, which reflects the same philosophy that guides her travels: minimalism, efficacy and elegance. From traversing wellness rituals across Europe to finding quiet moments of restoration between flights, Mieloch's approach to travel is both intuitive and informed—rooted in decades of experience, and guided by a belief that the best routines (and trips) should feel effortless. Below, she shares her travel essentials, rituals and favorite destinations. Danuta Mieloch Danuta Mieloch My go-to airline is: Swiss Air — efficient, elegant, and always delivers a serene experience. My favorite seat on the flight is: A window seat in business class — I love watching the clouds and feeling cocooned. My go-to in-flight beverage is: Endless water for deep hydration — I'm all about inner and outer glow. My favorite airport/terminal is: Any terminal with an American Express Centurion Lounge — especially in Philadelphia, my hometown. It's my little sanctuary in transit. The second I get on a plane, I: Exhale. I instantly disconnect. It's my sacred space to dream, rest, and reset. My go-to travel uniform is: Effortless but polished: cashmere layers, relaxed tailoring, and always something cozy. Style and comfort in equal measure. My carry-on consists of: My Rimowa, a White + Warren pashmina, my Danucera travel set, my iPhone, and all essential documents — perfectly edited. The pieces I take EVERYWHERE are: Cashmere wrap, lip balm, iPhone, passport, CeraBalm (always), and sunglasses — chic and travel-ready. My flying soundtrack is: Mozart or soft lounge music — calm, classical, and mood-lifting. My favorite thing about flying is: The detachment. It's a creative portal — I think clearer, dream bigger, and rest deeper. The worst part about flying is: Nothing really — but dry air and airport lighting aren't the most flattering. My one flying hack is: Don't eat on planes. Drink tons of water. Treat it like a mini detox — you arrive lighter, fresher, more vibrant. The second I land, I: Head straight for a massage if I can. Bodywork resets everything after travel. As soon as I check into my hotel room, I: Change clothes and go for a walk. Movement and fresh air ground me in the new time zone. My favorite hotel in the world is: Hotel Ritz in Paris — timeless glamour, exquisite service, and a true sense of place. My favorite city in the world is: It's a tie: Paris for romance, Warsaw for heart, New York for energy, and Philadelphia for home. A concierge will know that I prefer: A serene room with natural light, healthy room service options and a recommendation for the best massage nearby. My favorite hotel memory is: Waking up at Hotel Ritz to birdsong, sunlight, and the faint scent of fresh croissants — Parisian magic in every sense. I conquer jetlag by: Moving, not eating too late, and sticking to my skincare ritual. A quick Rescue Spa facial before the trip doesn't hurt either. My biggest piece of travel advice is: Stay open. Go with the flow. The most beautiful moments are often the unplanned.
