Capella Sydney is an exemplar of adaptive re-use, successfully celebrating the original architecture of this grand, heritage-listed building while transforming the once utilitarian government premises into a world-class, luxury hotel.

 

The design team focused on restoring and refurbishing the original architecture while re-imagining the interiors to integrate the modern amenities and facilities expected from a luxury hotel. Architecture and interiors now provide a coherent design that speaks to the buildings’ origins and takes guests on a journey through the building.

 

Throughout the whole hotel, a language of layers and framed portals, create spaces that feel like they have always existed, but are also completely modern.

​

Open to the public for the first time, Capella Sydney now accommodates a total of 192 grandly proportioned guestrooms; the Auriga Spa and wellness centre on level 6; and a variety of new publicly accessible restaurant and bar venues and event spaces on the ground floor.
