Capella Sydney

For generations, the Department of Education building in Sydney’s Sandstone Precinct stood quietly, its golden facade forming an unassuming backdrop to the rhythm of the city. Originally designed by architect George McRae in the early 1900s, the building has been meticulously restored and reimagined by Pontiac Land in collaboration with Make Architects.

Reawakening as Capella Sydney in March 2023, the heritage-listed icon welcomed Accommodation, cuisine and cultural immersion. Embedding visitors in the beating heart of the city’s commercial, cultural and hospitality precinct, Capella Sydney also marks the first property under the Capella Hotels and Resorts constellation to open in Australia.

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