Capella Hotel Group announces the launch of Capella Residences Seoul Club, a stunning prelude to Capella Residences Seoul's opening in 2028.
Located in the city's prestigious Hannam-dong district, Capella Residences Seoul Club offers future residents early access to the brand's distinctive lifestyle.
From The Dining Room by Hulotte led by French dining chef Seung-jun Lee to The Boxing Club and The Living Room— a Capella signature— the Club offers an elevated experience for residents, creating a sense of belonging, enrichment, and connection within the heart of Seoul.
On the fourth floor— infused with natural light and air— The Roof showcases the distinctive vision of Chef Ambassador Edward Lee, a James Beard Awardwinning chef known for Iron Chef America and Netflix's Culinary Class Wars. Chef Edward Lee will introduce a signature culinary programme that bridges Korean ingredients with global techniques, offering residents an intimate glimpse into the gastronomic experiences that will define Capella Residences Seoul.
Masterfully conceived by distinguished French design house Liaigre, Capella Residences Seoul Club emerges as a symphony of form and nature.
The design weaves together Seoul's urban forest landscape with refined interiors, where carefully chosen materials echo the poetry of the surrounding landscape. Each space flows into the next, dissolving the boundaries between built and natural worlds and creating an experience that is at once grounding and inspiring. Embodying the sophistication and cultural authenticity synonymous with Capella, the Club becomes a refined sanctuary where modern luxury breathes in harmony with Seoul's verdant hillsides.
The Living Room: The Heart of Connection
At the heart of the Club lies Capella's signature Living Room. Located on the second floor, the boundaries between nature and urbanity dissolve here, creating a hub where meaningful conversations flow naturally over artisanal beverages and curated bites.
Cultural traditions come alive through bespoke Capella Rituals and Capella Moments, thoughtfully orchestrated by the Club's dedicated Culturists. These immersive experiences celebrate local heritage through workshops, artistic encounters, and programming that embodies the Capella brand promise.
The Boxing Club: A Sanctuary for Body and Spirit
The Boxing Club: A Sanctuary for Body and Spirit The Boxing Club elevates the notion of wellness beyond the ordinary, creating a unique fitness experience filled with artistic and craft-inspired touches. Original vintage furniture and the gentle sounds of vinyl set the tone for an experience that engages all the senses.
The Boxing Club also features advanced wellness technology, including specialised recovery facilities that promote rejuvenation and holistic well-being, reflecting a belief that wellness should be as enriching to the spirit as it is to the body
The Dining Room by Hulotte: Dining as a Celebration
The Dining Room by Hulotte on the third floor presents an intimate dining experience, where elegant lighting and table settings, and carefully considered acoustics create an atmosphere of refined conviviality.
Under the direction of acclaimed Chef Seung-jun Lee, owner of the naturalistic French fine dining restaurant Hulotte, which has earned recognition in Korea's prestigious Blue Ribbon Survey, Chef Lee brings his philosophy, "a chef cooks not only food, but memories," adding emotional depth to the dining experience.
The Roof by Chef Edward Lee
The Roof by Edward Lee showcases Chef Edward Lee's distinctive approach to modern heritage dining, where Korean ingredients meet American culinary soul in a panoramic setting.
Says Chef Edward Lee, “My approach to cooking starts with the ingredients around me—what nature and local artisans provide here in Korea. These ingredients carry the stories of Korean cuisine and history, and they're the foundation of everything I create. From there, I explore how we can blend Korean flavours with American techniques and global cuisines. Growing up Korean-American, I've always lived between two culinary worlds, and that duality drives my creativity. The possibilities are endless when you stay rooted in authentic flavours but aren't afraid to cross cultural boundaries. I want to create menus that are both playful and meaningful—celebrating my Korean heritage while embracing the American ingredients and global flavours I've fallen in love with.”
