I had never heard of Capella before, though - what is the consensus on the company?
Horst Schulze, who was CEO of Ritz-Carlton for many years, pre-Marriott, left R-C when standards began to drop and formed Capella. One of the first hotels he did was Capella Castlemartyr in Cork, Ireland, and later, the ex-Georg Rafael Breidenbacher Hoff in Dusseldorf. A bit like GHM, Capella seems to lose quite a few management contracts, but with a management team that comprises a lot of ex-Ritz-Carlton people from the 'good days' it has pretty high standards when it combines with a good owner.
