Capella Hotels and Resorts has been named “Best Hotel Brand” in Travel + Leisure's annual World's Best Awards for the third consecutive year.

The recognition comes during a period of strategic growth for Capella Hotel Group — in April, the brand opened Capella Taipei, marking its entry into Taiwan while Capella at Galaxy Macau will follow by the end of the year.

Looking ahead to 2026, the brand will debut Capella Kyoto, its first property in Japan, with Capella Florence — its first foray into Europe — the following year.

Portfolio recognition across key markets

Beyond the overall brand distinction, several Capella properties earned individual accolades. Capella Sydney was named the No. 1 City Hotel in Australia and New Zealand, while Capella Bangkok, Capella Hanoi, and Capella Shanghai each secured top rankings in their respective regions. These accolades reflect the brand's commitment to honouring the unique character of each destination while upholding its service excellence.

Evan Kwee, Vice-Chairman, Capella Hotel Group, says, “Receiving this award once was a remarkable honour, earning it a second time was truly humbling, and to be recognised for a third consecutive year is an achievement that fills us with immense pride. This recognition reflects the intentional purpose and daily commitment of our exceptional colleagues across our constellation of properties. We are committed to thoughtfully doubling our portfolio by 2030, bringing Capella's distinctive approach to cultural hospitality to new destinations while maintaining the intimate, bespoke experiences that define our brand."

Travel + Leisure's World's Best Awards annually recognise excellence in global hospitality through reader surveys that evaluate hotels, destinations, cruise lines, airlines, and spas. Now celebrating its 30th anniversary, the prestigious reader-voted awards honour the world's leading hotels, destinations, and hospitality experiences based on submissions from thousands of discerning travellers worldwide.

The complete 2025 winners list appears in the August issue of Travel + Leisure and at https://www.travelandleisure.com/worlds-best.
