Capella Sydney

Capella Sydney reimagines one of the city’s grandest heritage buildings as a contemporary luxury hotel. Located in the historic Sandstone Precinct, the property blends Edwardian Baroque architecture with modern design and cultural programming that anchors it firmly in Sydney’s creative life.

The restoration preserves soaring ceilings, stone facades and heritage detail, while interiors by BAR Studio introduce warmth through timber, leather and bespoke art commissions. Guest rooms are generous in scale, with marble bathrooms, custom furnishings and expansive windows that frame the surrounding cityscape. The design language balances gravitas with intimacy, ensuring comfort within grandeur.

Dining is led by Brasserie 1930, which presents French technique through Australian produce in a lively, convivial setting. McRae Bar offers cocktails and rare spirits within a moody, elegant space. Culinary direction emphasises provenance and innovation, reinforcing Sydney’s position as a global food city while grounding the hotel in local identity.

Wellness and leisure are delivered through Auriga Spa, a pool beneath a dramatic heritage skylight, and a fitness centre that completes the sense of retreat. Cultural programming, from art partnerships to curated talks, positions the hotel as more than accommodation — it is a venue for exchange and creativity.

Service reflects Capella’s global reputation for attentiveness and anticipation, delivered with the confidence and warmth expected in Sydney. The result is hospitality that is both polished and personal, aligning international standards with local character.

Capella Sydney has quickly established itself as one of the city’s defining luxury hotels — a reimagined icon where history and contemporary culture meet.
