An experience that’s the first of its kind, high in the sky

1/4/2022

Comments

 
High in the sky, just below the heavens, a world first-experience awaits your discovery.

Sandwiched beneath the angels playing at CRU Champagne Bar and above the famed views of Red Sky restaurant and bar, COCOA XO is the first tasting experience of its kind.

Guests ride up a clear glass elevator, and upon landing, are invited to make their way to the Skytree, glimmering against the sky like an otherworldly inhabitant. Here, mixologists give visitors a taste of what’s about to come, with bespoke choctails conjured up especially for them, while they await an invitation to the COCOA XO pod.

Take a seat by the sky, overlooking the 360-degree views from up high while tasting the delectable chocolates, cognac selection, or cigars on offer, many of which are exclusive to COCOA XO.

A collaboration between Martell Cognac and artisanal French Chocolatier Cacao Barry, Bangkok’s very first cocoa pod, COCOA XO showcases an unlikely pairing, where chocolate and cognac meet their match, to form a relationship unlike any guests might have otherwise experienced.

CAPELLA AND SOLARBUDDY SHINE A LIGHT ON YOUTHS FACING ENERGY POVERTY

22/3/2022

Capella Hotels and Resorts are donating 200 solar lamps to provinces in Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam facing extreme energy poverty.  The first initiative in a long-term partnership with SolarBuddy, a global community dedicated to alleviating energy poverty for children, Capella pledges to help youths study after dusk and improve their educational outcomes through the gift of clean, sustainable light.
 
"At Capella Hotels and Resorts, we believe that each and every child have the right to develop to their full potential," says Nicholas Clayton, CEO of Capella Hotel Group. "Our collaboration with SolarBuddy was an opportunity that enabled us to amplify our Capella Youth initiative, ensuring every child receives proper education. This is strongly aligned with our philosophy of empowering youth to build a sustainable future for themselves."
 
Around the world, 789 million people live in darkness and have minimal access to light when the sun sets. To enable visibility at night, energy-poverty communities depend on rural forms of energy such as using fuel-based kerosene lamps. These energy sources not only emit high carbon dioxide but harm the health and wellbeing of people using them.
 
Through SolarBuddy’s renewable solar-powered lights, children will benefit from a productive study environment after dusk, determining their own future and those of generations to come. In addition, the sustainable solar invention eliminates families’ kerosene expenditure per annum, leading to overall economic development and improvement in quality of life.
 
Inspired by the light that illuminates the night sky, Capella Hotels and Resorts shines a spotlight on each destination's local heritage, culture and community. As custodians of the community, the hospitality group is dedicated to the enrichment of their surroundings and the lives of their community. Capella act as mentors to youth and participate in school initiatives to empower them to create a better tomorrow.
 
To raise awareness about energy poverty, guests and colleagues of Capella Ubud, Capella Bangkok and Capella Hanoi will be invited to help assemble the physical solar lamp, which will then be distributed to youth in their region. One of the beneficiaries include students from Mbinudita, Indonesia, where education remains a challenge with over 50% of the children having no access to electricity back home.
 

Capella Bangkok’s General Manager, Mr. John Blanco (3rd left), joined forces with the resort’s Guidance Team to announce the first initiative in a long-term partnership with SolarBuddy, a global community dedicated to lighting up the lives of energy-impoverished children. Missioned to create renewable energy-powered lights to help schoolkids study after dusk, Capella Bangkok has donated 50 solar lamps to children at Mae Fah Luang’s Learning Centre for Thai Hill Tribes in Baan Pa Kha, Chiang Rai province.
 
In line with Capella’s philosophy of building a strong sense of community for a sustainable future through youth mentorships, the award-winning riverside resort pledged to help youth study and provide future generations with the opportunity to reach their full potential through this gift of clean, sustainable light sources. The solar invention will also eliminate the need for kerosene, resulting in long-term savings for rural families.
Seen in the picture from left: Antony Scholtmeyer – Executive Chef, Josephine Png – Director of Sales & Marketing, John Blanco – General Manager, Varunyou Markpol – Director of Human Resources, Suwichak Chulajurm – Director of Engineering, and Ted Tucker – Hotel Manager.
 
Readers keen to show their support and share the joy of clean, safe and reliable lighting with youth can also contribute to Capella’s fundraiser at www.capella.life/solarbuddy. All donation will go directly towards purchasing SolarBuddy’s sustainable solar lights for the beneficiary communities.
