This week, Reuters Connect released a licensable picture providing a poolside view of the Capella Hotel in Singapore. The photograph, captured by Caroline Chia, showcases the property's serene outdoor environment.

Our take: Capella’s Singapore outpost consistently delivers on its reputation for understated luxury. The hotel's design, integrating colonial architecture with contemporary elements, is particularly evident in its outdoor spaces. This image alone reinforces the brand's commitment to creating tranquil, visually rich environments for its guests, a hallmark of luxury hospitality in Southeast Asia.
