Hotel information
Stay at the anticipated new Capella Sydney in the heart of downtown, a great city stopover for those seeking a luxury stay in the Sydney. Occupying an entire city block, you can expect the finest accommodation, personalised service, and cultural experiences through a uniquely Capella lens, all just steps from the famed Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge.
Its grand façade resembles a Baroque Florentine palazzo, this heritage-listed building was once home to Sydney’s Department of Education. Now open as Capella Sydney, it’s been kept just as grand inside, with soaring ceilings, sumptuous furnishings, and intriguing objet d’art.
The first Capella property in Australia is incredibly romantic, perfect for a honeymoon or luxury Sydney stopover. The spa showcases immersive treatment rooms, while Aperture’s art-filled courtyard is a wonderfully romantic spot in the shade of weeping fig trees.
True to the Capella brand, authentic flavours are imaginatively reinvented at three food and beverage venues. These include landmark restaurant Brasserie 1930 and the McRae Bar, named in honour of the building’s original architect, George McRae.
In addition to 192 rooms and suites, Capella Sydney boasts a world-class health and wellness space only open to guests. Set in the original building's top-floor art gallery, light floods in through the ceiling and illuminates the 65-ft-long heated indoor pool. Spoil yourself with rejuvenating treatments at Auriga Spa, showcasing immersive treatment rooms for couples and individuals set within the luxurious surrounds.
The Living Room – a guest lounge that is a staple in all Capella properties – is home to Capella Culturists: a hybrid in-house guide and locally embedded concierge who tailor experiences in and around the hotel just for you.
Room Options
The thoughtfully designed 192 rooms and suites are incredibly spacious, where opulence peaks in the 235 sq m Capella Suite. Each inviting sanctuary features high ceilings, standalone baths and Italian Frette linen.

The McRae Bar is named after the building’s original architect George McRae, responsible for some of Sydney’s most beautiful historic properties. Admire swirling murals of popular Aboriginal artists while savouring classic cocktails and fine wines, served with delicious house-made pickles.
