Capella Sydney - Step Inside Sydney’s Most Luxurious and Exclusive Hotel

The recently opened Capella Sydney sees a historic sandstone building in the heart of Sydney’s resurgent Sandstone Precinct reimagined as a luxurious and exclusive world-class hotel. Designed by Make Architects, the hotel includes 192 generous guestrooms along with a range of amenities and dining destinations; each space thoughtfully preserving the architectural heritage of the building. The transformation of the 1915 Department of Education building into its current incarnation as Capella Sydney represents the culmination of a seven-year quest to bring a truly world-class luxury accommodation offering to Sydney’s Sandstone Precinct. Make Architects collaborated with Melbourne and Madrid-based interior designers BAR Studio for the hotel interiors, including the luxurious and exclusive common spaces and restaurant areas, allowing the food and beverage options to adopt an identity of their own. This design dream team also included Melbourne-based stylist Simone Haag, who curated a layer of intriguing objects that add to the sense of grandeur experienced by all who pierce the threshold of the building’s sandstone walls. Developing a defined narrative between old and new was integral to the architectural transformation of the luxurious and exclusive building. Through each considered intervention, the design team strived to not only maintain but celebrate a building whose very function helped to form Sydney into the city it is today. With hand-carved details and its Edwardian baroque-style façade, Capella Sydney is the living embodiment of the past and present colliding. This ethos of heritage renewal was a key driving factor for the Capella Hotel Group. The Capella Hotel Group’s desire to create a truly memorable, luxurious and exclusive experience for guests extends beyond the realms of design and is exemplified in all aspects of the hotel, from unique dining experiences curated by the Bentley Group to the selection of staff members fully committed to the overall vision for the building. A luxurious and exclusive hotel fused with intriguing architectural interventions, engaging art installations and inimitable dining experiences, Capella Sydney expands the definition of luxury. Much like the area in which it resides, the accommodation offering represents a new dawn for Sydney’s hospitality scene whilst celebrating the historical beauty of the harbour city.
