"But it was the Singapore–based Capella Hotels & Resorts, which recently opened its first outpost outside of Asia, that was voted into the No. 1 spot by our readers. The new Capella Sydney occupies an entire block of the city’s Central Business District. The renovated historic building (built in the early 1900s) was originally used by the Department of Education and features 192 guest rooms and suites, as well as three restaurants, a natural light-filled indoor swimming pool, and a spa." - Travel + Leisure Editors
