entertainment hub with a rich cultural history and gateway to
the Greater Bay Area. As the newest addition to our integrated
luxury destination, Capella at Galaxy Macau represents our

to our international guests in Macau."
Reflecting Galaxy's signature golden allure, Capella at Galaxy
Macau is a gilded mansion in Asia's cultural hub. The
17-storey hotel offers 36 Sky Villas and 57 Suites. Designed by
the renowned Paris-based firm Moinard Bētaille,
the interiors draw inspiration from the jungle, and Macau's
lush green hills. Each Sky Villa
features a light-filled balcony with a
transparent infinity-edge pool, outdoor lounge, sunroom, and
hidden winter garden, providing guests with a serene nature
experience year-round. The luxurious villas invite socializing and
have amenities such as a butler pantry, a karaoke room with a cigar
butler and premium collection, a private cocktail bar, and a games
lounge. Suites are awe-inspiring, featuring private plunge pools
and balconies with panoramic views
of Macau's architecture.
Bruno Moinard and Claire Bētaille
of Moinard Bētaille reflect on their design, stating,
"Galaxy Entertainment Group granted us the exceptional freedom
to conceptualize Capella at Galaxy Macau. Macau's adventurous spirit
and rich history inspired our tropical
jungle theme, evoking feelings of generosity and
modernity, punctuated by delightful surprises for guests. A
central element of this project is our profound connection
with water, inviting guests to
imagine themselves suspended in their
glistening pool."
Moinard Bētaille is known for its distinctive approach to
French luxury and exquisite craftsmanship. It has created storied
interiors for the world's leading luxury brand boutiques, including
global flagships
for Cartier, Breitling, and Audemars Piguet.
Globally acclaimed for category defining
quality, exceptional service
and authentically connecting insightful guests to the
unique locations of its properties, Capella Hotels and Resorts
promises to bring a new level of elegant luxury in Macau.
The new property at Galaxy Macau will present a bold new take on
Capella's signature Living Room, solidifying the property's role as
the cultural hub for meaningful dialogues and expressions. 'Pony
& Plume' will house a members-only lounge designed
by Hong Kong interior design
legend Albert Kwan, who has created spaces steeped in
colonial Chinoiserie, including Hong
Kong's China Club and Cipriani, London's China
Tang, as well as emporia across Asia. Plume is the 'whisper-only' name of a
hidden invitation-only terrace for serious aficionados, whilst
a display feature allows a peek at treasures including curios from
a private collection that incorporates antiques, art and even
notable gifts blessed by historical
icons such as El Commandante himself.
Inspired by the game of equestrian polo, the Moinard Bētaille
designed bar at Capella at Galaxy Macau will feature a unique
collection of rare and limited-edition whiskies. A
curated program of Japanese whiskies of provenance, in
collaboration with a differentiated selection of whisky
producers, will cement the singular
offering.
To provide an unmatched guest experience in Macau, Capella at Galaxy Macau
will collaborate with thought leaders in art and gastronomy. This
collaboration includes curating a diverse art collection, as
well as partnering with Hong
Kong's culinary star, Asia's 50 Best and Michelin-starred Chef
and Krug Ambassade Vicky Cheng to create a memorable epicurean
experience.
Chef Cheng's first fine-dining international eatery is set to be
the region's most anticipated new opening in 2025, and Capella
at Galaxy Macau will offer guests exclusive access to his
proprietary restaurant concept, which celebrates the best of
homegrown talent in the Greater Bay Area in collaboration with
Hong Kong interior design tour de
force, Joyce Wang.
In 2024 alone, Cheng's
meteoric ascent has seen him
garner a trio of Asia's 50 Best Restaurants 2024
awards, ranking him fifth in the region for his Hong Kong restaurant Wing, and securing
Cheng the accolade of Highest Climber Award. Cheng's proprietary
Macau concept will celebrate the coming together of cultures,
representing the convergence of East and West that he alludes
to in his cooking, and will be enhanced by an intimate
setting designed to allow guests to interact directly with his
culinary expertise, conceptualized by
the award-winning Hong Kong interior
designer Joyce Wang.
Chef Vicky Cheng expresses his
excitement about his eagerly awaited new independent restaurant
concept: "I'm thrilled to showcase the distinctive ingredients and
rich heritage of the Pearl River Delta in my fresh and independent
concept at Capella Galaxy Macau. I look forward to
presenting my refined, innovative take on French-meets-Chinese
flavors and techniques with an experimental twist at the first
outpost to bring my signature
fine-dining concept onto international turf."
Renowned interior design virtuoso Joyce Wang, of Joyce Wang Studio, shares
her perspective: "Understanding Vicky Cheng's passion for
foraging and exploration has influenced our choice of
materials, textures, and the fluid architectural forms of the
space. We have emphasized the kitchen as the heart of the
dining experience, and our design aims to gently blur the
line between guest and chef, inviting guests to immerse
themselves in Chef Vicky's intimate culinary ritual."
In addition, Capella at Galaxy Macau will feature a signature
all-day dining restaurant, further amplifying
the exclusive array of authentic gastronomic
experiences for diners in Macau.
