Private residences · the brand story

Hospitality with a personal signature.

Local culture and considered everyday rituals, expressed through residences.

01 / THE CHARACTER OF THE BRAND

A place revealed through people.

CultureCulture as the starting point

Capella’s hotel approach centres on the Living Room and its Culturists: people who connect guests with local craft, traditions and everyday life. Group founder Horst Schulze came to this model through a long career in hospitality. Culture becomes the substance of a stay.

02 / LIVING WITH THE NAME

From a philosophy
to your own address.

Capella describes its approach as crafted living, guided by craftsmanship, culture and care, with architecture that responds to a property’s history and setting. Its signature Personal Assistants curate stays around individual preferences and connect guests with local culture; Capella applies the same intuition-and-belonging language to its residences.

The official navigation separates residential projects: Seoul, Brisbane and Bangkok. Seoul’s Heonin Maeul forest setting and Brisbane’s riverside Shafston Estate show how different homes under one name can be.

Edward Lee

Chef Ambassador, Capella Residences Seoul

Capella Hotels and Resorts · press release, 21 July 2025

In July 2025, Capella named Lee chef ambassador for this residential project. Born in Brooklyn to Korean parents, he brings together the food of the American South and Korean flavours. In Seoul, his programme is designed specifically for residents as part of community life, beyond a one-off celebrity appearance.

The homes are designed by Olson Kundig; the clubhouse by David Chipperfield. The 2025 release gives a planned 2027 opening; the current schedule is confirmed for each enquiry.

This story concerns the named project. Its authorship and design features do not describe every residence in the brand’s collection.

ONE NAME. DIFFERENT WAYS TO LIVE.

way of living.

Privacy, service and the layout of a home vary by project. These examples make the differences tangible.
