ABOUT CAPELLA SYDNEY

For generations, the Department of Education building in Sydney's Sandstone Precinct stood quietly, its golden facade forming an unassuming backdrop to the rhythm of the city. Reawakening as Capella Sydney in March 2023, the heritage-listed icon welcomed guests inside its walls for the very first time, setting a global benchmark for luxury accommodation, cuisine and cultural immersion. Embedding visitors in the beating heart of the city's commercial, cultural and hospitality precinct, Capella Sydney also marks the first property under the Capella Hotels and Resorts constellation to open in Australia.

Balancing storied architectural features with a contemporary design aesthetic, Capella Sydney celebrates the Australian panorama through its interiors, location and experiences. 192 spacious guestrooms and suites and an unsurpassed wellness offering are anchored by three ground-level food and beverage outlets and a collection of bespoke function spaces. Original characteristics are celebrated throughout the hotel, with reimagined interiors unfurling to reveal commissioned and collected artworks, sophisticated furnishings and intriguing objet d'art– all within footsteps of the glistening harbour foreshore, the famed Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge.

In just a year since its grand opening, Capella Sydney has garnered an impressive array of accolades, including the HICAP (Hotel Investment Conference Asia Pacific) '2023 Reggie Shiu Development of the Year' award, the AHEAD Asia Awards 2023 for 'Hotel of the Year', 'Best Hotel Conversion', and 'Best Hotel Lobby', followed by its recent inclusion on AFAR's esteemed list of Best New Hotels of 2024.
