All 101 rooms, suites and villas have unobstructed views of the river, with floor-to-ceiling windows and outdoor balconies or verandahs. Some come with a jacuzzi plunge pool, too. As you’d expect from a luxury hotel, all amenities are included from bespoke toiletries, Bluetooth sound systems and premium coffee machines. One of the best features is the flexible check-in time – if your flight lands first thing in the morning you will be allowed to check straight into your room. There’s no paying for an early check-in here! On arrival, bubbles and bonbons await and your Capella Culturist will help create a bespoke set of activities for during your stay and even press your clothes for you!

Meanwhile, the hotel’s signature restaurant is curated by Michelin-starred chef Mauro Colagreco, who presents a contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional recipes and culinary heritage of the French and Italian Riviera.
