Plying the Capella resort - ultra-luxury on wheels

The ultra-luxury Capella Singapore resort on Sentosa will have two ultra-luxury limousines to provide a bespoke chauffeur service to its well-heeled guests when it opens later next year. The Pontiac Land Group hotel will be the first in Singapore to have a Rolls-Royce Phantom limousine in its fleet.
The standard-wheelbase model is priced at $1.5 million, and the Capella Singapore’s pair will be ordered with options specially designed for hotel use, such as a deeper boot to carry more luggage, and a cooler box under the rear seats to store cold towels.
It is not yet known what colours have been specified for the vehicles.
Stephanie Kwee-Ng, director of Pontiac’s associate company Millenia Hotel, explains that the Phantom was a natural choice for the Norman Foster-designed property. “As seen in the careful selection of our architect, interior designers, sculptors and artists, we share a common ethos with Rolls-Royce - uncompromising design,” she says.
Ms Kwee-Ng reveals that the group expressed interest in the Phantoms at the early stages of the hotel development. “Our consideration to purchase two Phantoms began 12 months ago, and we are delighted to have just confirmed our order. We believe all our guests at Capella Singapore are VIPs. Each of them will have the opportunity to enjoy the Phantoms,” she says, adding that there is an option to purchase two more.
