This year’s four-day event, taking place from October 17 to 20, 2024, will be hosted at the magnificent Capella Hanoi. It will showcase the cultural and culinary experiences of Capella hotels worldwide to both Vietnamese and international guests.
“Following last year’s success in Singapore, we have elevated Senses of Capella to a whole new level,” said Mr. Cristiano Rinaldi, President of Capella Hotel Group. “This year, guests will have extraordinary experiences through various aspects, including culture, art, and wellness therapies, alongside fantastic culinary feasts prepared by our Michelin-starred chefs.”
The opening night on October 17 will be a vibrant music event featuring legendary DJ Bert Bevans, who rocked the stages of Studio 54 (New York) and Ministry of Sound (London). Music will be the catalyst, connecting like-minded souls in the sparkling ambiance of Capella Hanoi, setting the stage for the fantastic parties of the next three days of exciting experiences.
CULTURAL EXPERIENCES
Throughout the Senses of Capella event, guests staying at the hotel will embark on a journey through the captivating cultures of Asia. They can try their hand at Peranakan tile painting from Singapore or discover the secrets of making exquisite paper fans from Vietnam’s Dó paper.
