In line with Capella Hotels and Resorts’ dedication to offer an enriching experience for all

guests, Capella Singapore’s ever-changing roster of upcoming pop-ups ensures that no two stays are the same. Injecting a breath of fresh air in Singapore’s staycation scene, the series includes mastering the fine art of writing with Montblanc, drumming with award winning Chow Kiat, learning the basics of organic farming with Edible Garden City and up close and personal wildlife encounters with Dr Ooz from the Singapore Zoo.

“We’re constantly thinking of ways we can elevate our stay experience and ensure that our guests are enjoying unique, compelling activities that they will remember for years to come,” shares Fernando Gibaja, Capella Singapore’s General Manager. “These initial pop-ups are the first few of many as we continue to offer an unparalleled luxury hospitality experience.

Calligraphy with Montblanc While typed text can feel impersonal, a handwritten note or letter is charged with the emotion, energy and time of the writer. Handwritten letters are not just a romantic pastime tinged with nostalgia, it’s a unique form of self-expression that builds a meaningful connection with others. Guests can explore self-expression through handwriting and the art of calligraphy with Montblanc. Available on December 18 from 2:00p.m. – 4:00p.m.

Drumming Jam Session Guided by local award-winning drummer, Mr. Er Chow Kiat, rhythm enthusiasts can learn how to lock down a groove and be the backbone of a band.

Available on December 1, 8 and 15, from 11:00a.m. – 12:00p.m. and 12:00p.m. –1:00p.m.

Dedicated to creating social change through community-centric agriculture, Edible Garden City is the perfect gateway for guests to understand how cities can become self-sufficient by growing their own food. Available on December 3, 10, and 17, from 4:00p.m. – 5:00p.m.
