Capella Sydney

For generations, the Department of Education building stood quietly, its golden sandstone façade forming an unassuming backdrop to the rhythm of the city.

Reawakening as Capella Sydney, the heritage-listed icon welcomes guests inside for the very first time, setting a global benchmark for luxury accommodation, cuisine and cultural immersion. Balancing storied architectural features with a contemporary design aesthetic, Capella Sydney celebrates the Australian panorama through its interiors, location and experiences.

The unparalleled spaces within Capella Sydney showcase curated artwork, sophisticated furnishings and intriguing objet d’art. 192 guestrooms and suites spanning eight levels, are anchored by three ground-level food and beverage offerings, including signature restaurant, Brasserie 1930 and McRae Bar.

The ground level also features six meeting and event spaces catering for groups of 10 to 80 guests, while wellness-seeking guests will make their way to Level Six to discover the world-class health and spa facilities.

The accommodation at Capella Sydney is as unique as the property itself. Dovetailed with the intricate craftsmanship of the original building, the masterfully crafted guestrooms and suites exude luxury, showcasing delectable walnuts, natural stones and deluxe textiles wrapped by the historic façade, cushioning guests from the bustle of the city.
