Luxury Holidays At Capella Sydney

A vision of classic elegance and refinement amongst this bustling city’s modern rambunctiousness and soaring skyscrapers, Capella Sydney stands as a testament to another, slower-paced side of Australia. Encapsulating a full block of Sydney’s financial district, a heritage sandstone façade hides true luxury – where sophistication meets serenity, and each detail is highly considered.

The sympathetically restored 20th century building is inundated with history, having been home to the Department of Agriculture and Department of Education, whilst also filled with tributes to Australia’s culture and arts. Welcoming guests into a balance between preservation and possibility, the eight-floor marvel showcases curated artwork, sophisticated furnishings and intriguing objet d’art across its rooms and public spaces. Restaurants pair timeless design with classic yet elevated cuisine, and a clean opulence flows through the wellness space for exceptional tranquility.

City Highlights

When considering an Australian adventure, one may assume that your first thoughts are of sandy beaches and friendly wildlife - but Capella Sydney is ready to set new expectations. Standing amongst the bustle of this historically significant area, where elaborate buildings are steps away from must-see sights and the rest of the city is of easy-access thanks to the network of travel options, this is a city break that delves into the cosmopolitan heart of Australia. Consult with your Culturist for a personalised programme of activities, or simply take to the streets that lead to nearby marvels including Circular Quay and the Museum of Sydney.

City Highlights at Capella Sydney

Culture & History

Nestled amongst the skyscrapers of Sydney's financial district stands the striking sandstone of a heritage-listed building, once home to Sydney's Department of Education: Capella Sydney. Recognition for the history of both the city and the building are interspersed within the interiors, from artwork that depicts indigenous stories in the entrance to the McRae Bar named in honour of the building's architect. Capella Sydney's sophistication is enlightened by its appreciation for its past and its sympathetic storytelling.

Flooded with natural light and adorned with intricate details that reflect on the building’s history, the world-class offerings of Capella Sydney’s in-house spa promises true relaxation with breathtaking surrounds. Auriga draws inspiration from the cycles of nature to find your body’s equilibrium; set where an art gallery used to lie, it is befitting that this sublime spa space turns Auriga’s bespoke and holistic therapies into an art of healing and regeneration.

Please contact our Travel Consultants for flight details.

Sydney

Sydney is a vibrant coastal city offering a wealth of sightseeing attractions, along with a multifarious range of activities for visitors to enjoy. Photograph the iconic Opera House; sunbathe on the legendary golden sands of Bondi Beach; partake in a little retail therapy in the global fashion houses and street markets; take a tour of the Olympic Park on over 30-kilometres of off-road cycle paths; or picnic at Sydney Harbour National Park, which protects a collection of Aboriginal sites. If you’ve a head for heights, it is possible to book a place to climb to the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, day or night, for some of the most incredible views over the city.

Sydney
The Blue Mountains

The breathtaking range, the Greater Blue Mountains, whose name derives from the blue haze given off by its thousands of Eucalyptus trees, can be reached within a two to three-hour drive of Sydney. Amongst its valleys, forests, canyons and waterfalls are a host of Aboriginal sites, while there is plenty of wildlife to keep an eye out for - including kangaroos, wombats, a variety of birds, reptiles and frogs. These peaks are the perfect destination for bush-walking and adventure pursuits.

The Blue Mountains
Byron Bay

Byron Bay is renowned for its thriving arts scene, and individuals with a creative or spiritual side are drawn here by the laid-back lifestyle and outstanding natural scenery - including pristine beaches and sparkling turquoise waters that are amongst the very best in Australia. As well as a plethora of art galleries, popular activities include yoga, nature walks, horse-riding, kayaking, mountain bike tours, hang-gliding and whale-watching (Humpback Whales migrate along the coast between May and November).

Byron Bay
Lord Howe Island

Just a two-hour, utterly scenic flight north east of Sydney, Lord Howe Island has a World Heritage-listed eco-system providing sub-tropical splendour, a reef-fringed lagoon, marine park, majestic volcanic peaks and a rainforest hiking trail to Mount Gower.
