About us

For generations, the Department of Education building in Sydney’s Sandstone Precinct has 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 will welcome guests inside its walls for the very first time, setting a global benchmark for luxury accommodation, cuisine and cultural immersion. Located in the heart of Sydney’s commercial, cultural, and hospitality precinct, Capella Sydney offers seamless access to the city’s iconic landmarks, including the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge, and Circular Quay. Capella Sydney also marks the first property under the Capella Hotels and Resorts constellation to open in Australia. Designed with a perfect balance of heritage architecture and contemporary sophistication, Capella Sydney features 192 guest rooms and suites, each thoughtfully crafted to reflect Australia’s natural beauty. Three ground-level dining outlets complement versatile meeting and event spaces, making the hotel a premier choice for corporate gatherings, incentives, and exclusive events. With state-of-the-art facilities, bespoke group experiences curated by our culturists, and immersive surroundings adorned with commissioned artworks and refined furnishings, Capella Sydney redefines the art of hosting. Whether it’s an executive meeting, an inspiring incentive program, or an elegant soirée, every event is elevated by our commitment to unparalleled luxury and personalized service.
