Why it's worth checking out
Capella Sydney sits on Loftus Street in the heart of the Sydney CBD, housed in the magnificent, beautifully restored former Department of Lands building near Circular Quay. One of the city's newest and most acclaimed ultra-luxury hotels, it combines grand heritage architecture with refined, contemporary luxury — an elegant, indulgent stay in the historic heart of the city.
The appeal is that combination of genuine five-star luxury, stunning heritage surrounds and a prime location steps from Circular Quay, the harbour and The Rocks. With its beautifully appointed rooms, acclaimed dining, a renowned spa and impeccable service, it's a destination for a truly special-occasion stay in Sydney.
With a 4.7 rating from more than 600 reviews, it's clearly delivering at the very top end. Room types, rates, dining, the spa and availability vary considerably with the season and demand, and a sought-after luxury hotel books out around peak periods, so it's worth checking current details and reserving directly well ahead — particularly if you're planning a special stay or travelling at a busy time.
