Capella Sydney's sandstone façade holds significant importance, not only as a notably unique feature but also as a link to the city's heritage. Native to the region, this local material embodies the character of Sydney. Its warm tones and natural textures resonate with the city's environment, and has been used in Sydney's buildings for centuries.
Amidst the evolving metropolis, Capella Sydney retains a timeless elegance. Standing as a meticulously restored 20th-century building, once home to Sydney's Department of Education, it's now a heritage-listed gem. The McRae Bar, named in tribute to the architect, George McRae, is a place where guests can toast the architectural prowess of this sandstone building and savour sumptuous cocktails.
