Today, Capella has 10 properties worse. All boutique, all ranked among the best hotels in the world. Every property has Capella Culturists. Personal insiders who curate bespoke local adventures. In Bangkok, street food safari followed by private meditation with monks. In Kyoto, private geisha performance in a historic tier house. In Bali, rice terrace tours with a local anthropologist.
