Capella Sydney
Capella Sydney · Sídney, Australia
Por The 50 Discovery ·
The backstory: Capella's first and, for now, only Australian property occupies an ornate Edwardian sandstone pile a short downhill walk from Sydney's iconic harbour and Opera House. Completed in 1915 to house the Department of Education, the building's impressive bone structure has been augmented by a meticulous renovation, a masterclass in combining sleek state-of-the-art modernity with vibrantly restored heritage flourishes.
Inside the hotel: Whether you're talking the spacious calming minimalism of the 192 guest rooms and suites (the latter housed in the four-storey glass-walled addition capping the building) textured with timber floors and art from local makers, or the period exuberance of the ground floor with its stunning art collection of kinetic sculpture and works by luminaries like Waanyi artist Judy Watson, Capella Sydney speaks with a distinctly Aussie accent. It's also there in the friendly, unpretentious service and the products used in the guest-only spa that lean into the unique scents of the Australian bush.
