Overview
Occupying one of Sydney’s most historic and architecturally stunning buildings, Capella Sydney is a five-star hotel that brings modern elegance and world-class service to the heart of the CBD. Housed within the meticulously restored former Department of Education building on Loftus Street, the hotel exudes grandeur from the moment you enter its sandstone façade and step into the contemporary serenity within.
Capella offers 192 beautifully appointed guest rooms and suites, blending heritage features — soaring ceilings, original windows, intricate cornices — with cutting-edge design, custom furnishings, and curated Australian artwork. Luxurious marble bathrooms, plush bedding, and state-of-the-art technology create a calm, refined retreat from the city outside.
At the heart of the hotel is Aperture, a stunning lobby lounge beneath a soaring glass ceiling, serving afternoon tea and cocktails amid art installations and indoor greenery. Guests can also indulge at Brasserie 1930, a contemporary Australian grill with European influence, and unwind with bespoke treatments at Auriga Spa, which includes a vitality pool, steam room, and fitness centre.
Capella’s hallmark is personalised service. The hotel offers a Capella Culturists team that curates tailored experiences for guests — from art walks and wellness rituals to hidden local dining gems.
With Sydney’s icons just steps away — including Circular Quay, the Opera House, and Royal Botanic Garden — Capella Sydney is perfectly placed for luxury travellers seeking the best of the city in a uniquely beautiful setting.
