Ten years ago, almost all of Pontiac Land’s assets were in Singapore. Now, they are spread across the globe.</p><p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">Yet, despite being the eldest grandson, Kwee does not remember having any major expectations placed upon him. “I just knew that one day I would work for the family.” </p><p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">That day came soon after he graduated from Babson College in the US with a double major in economics and entrepreneurship in 2002. His father gave him his first big task – to develop Capella Singapore. “I have no formal design or technical training,” says Kwee. “I was told to ‘just get my feet wet’ and undertake the project from start to finish.” </p><p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">And it was through this project – now occupying a special place in his heart – that he encountered the sensitive approach towards heritage buildings adopted by its designer, British architect Norman Foster. Kwee later applied the same type of care to <a href="https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/lifestyle/bt-luxe/capellas-heritage-star-sydney" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Capella Sydney</a>, which is housed in a sandstone conservation building that took seven years to restore and renovate. </p><h2 class="mb-4 md:mb-6 text-[21px] md:text-4xl -tracking-5% font-lucida font-bold" data-story-element="sub_head" data-testid="sub-heading-component">Making islands where there were none</h2><p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">Pontiac Land’s most ambitious project in terms of land size, however, is the 88-hectare Fari Islands in the Maldives’ North Male Atoll. Occupying the largest of its four man-made islands is <a href="https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/lifestyle/bt-luxe/patina-maldives-luxury-resort-rises-ocean" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Patina Maldives</a>, the debut resort of Patina Hotels & Resorts, a new lifestyle hospitality brand under the Capella Hotel Group. Opened in 2021, it represents Kwee’s vision of what the future of luxury hospitality looks like. </p><p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">The industry, he says, is at “a fascinating crossroads”, with travel increasingly a part of people’s lives and how they view the world. Instead of just beautiful villas or great service, travellers are looking to connect with the destinations they visit, where luxury does not merely equate to opulence or exclusivity.</p><p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">“I see travellers seeking out places that connect them with like-minded individuals,” he says, adding that hotels will need to cultivate strong communities for guests to return repeatedly. </p><p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">Hence, he created Patina Maldives to introduce a fresh perspective to luxury that emphasises sustainability, curiosity, personalised wellness and immersive experiences that can be transformative. Besides its many green credentials, the resort offers site-specific art installations, as well as programming that is a core part of guest experiences, featuring visiting DJs, artists and musicians.</p><p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">Pontiac Land also runs the more “traditional luxury” Ritz-Carlton on a second Fari island. The third is an island entirely dedicated to its employees – a first in the island archipelago – complete with a full-sized soccer pitch. </p><p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">Without divulging numbers, Kwee says the cost of creating the Fari Islands is “about double” that of Capella Singapore. It has been previously reported that the estimated total development cost for Capella Singapore was around US$250 million. </p><h2 class="mb-4 md:mb-6 text-[21px] md:text-4xl -tracking-5% font-lucida font-bold" data-story-element="sub_head" data-testid="sub-heading-component">Multi-generational luxury travel</h2><p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">Were there doubts, given that so much money was being poured into the ocean? Kwee says the biggest gamble really, was in doing something different – a multi-island concept – and targeting families in a luxury destination traditionally favoured by couples. </p><p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">“You’ve got to go with your gut sometimes, right? Doing something completely new and different from the norm is always scary, but once you’ve done all you can to mitigate your risks, you have to persevere until you succeed.” </p><p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">And he has been proven right. Operators are now building larger format villas for multi-generation families travelling together. This is also why the fourth Fari island, which was supposed to have opened late last year as a 56-villa Capella, has had its master plan completely reworked. It will now open in three years’ time and accommodate just 31 villas, made up mostly of two- to five-bedroom units, with home comforts such as private chefs available.</p><h2 class="mb-4 md:mb-6 text-[21px] md:text-4xl -tracking-5% font-lucida font-bold" data-story-element="sub_head" data-testid="sub-heading-component">Where the next hotels land</h2><p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">A key requirement when choosing his hotel projects is the ability to create spaces which authentically connect with guests, says Kwee. Mainly, Capella crafts experiences that are “the hallmark of its brands” by honouring the history, nature, community and destinations its hotels are in. This means no Capella or Patina is identical, whether in their interiors or experiences. </p><p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">Ultimately, the goal is to fulfil unmet needs with concepts in special locations that are hard for others to replicate. Hence, Kwee is excited about his upcoming new hotel openings, which are putting him on the road “almost every 10 days”.</p><p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">In April next year, Patina Osaka, the second hotel under the Patina brand, will be unveiled, offering “endless close-up views” of the historical Osaka Castle. A few months after that, he will open Capella Kyoto, a “beautiful, luminous hotel” which he promises will be special, given its location in the Miyagawa-cho district – an important geiko and maiko neighbourhood.</p><div class="mb-4 md:mb-6" data-story-element="image" data-testid="article-inline-image-component"><figure class="table mx-auto"><div aria-owns="rmiz-modal-" data-rmiz=""><div data-rmiz-content="not-found" style="visibility:visible"><img src="https://cassette.sphdigital.com.sg/image/businesstimes/1c7d5713fd5d811cbed9f82418a351e2e4254328777e67339f3ef1c7ff05487c" height="1709" width="1140" class="w-auto max-w-full" alt=""/></div></div><figcaption class="mt-1 table-caption caption-bottom text-3xs text-gray-525">Kwee feels that the travel industry is at “a fascinating crossroads”.
