Capella Sydney and The Lands by Capella form the heart of Sydney’s iconic Sandstone Precinct, a landmark luxury hospitality, events and cultural destination set within two of Australia’s most significant heritage buildings in the city’s historic CBD.

Opened in 2023, Capella Sydney occupies the meticulously restored former Department of Education building, originally constructed in 1912. The award-winning hotel features 192 guestrooms and suites, exceptional dining experiences, world-class wellness facilities, and bespoke guest programming, all within walking distance of Circular Quay, the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. Blending heritage grandeur with contemporary luxury, Capella Sydney has quickly established itself as one of Australia’s leading luxury hotels.

In 2026, the precinct expanded with the opening of The Lands by Capella, a transformative restoration of the neighbouring Department of Lands building. Together, the two properties create a distinctive destination where heritage architecture, contemporary design, culture, business and hospitality converge.

For meetings, incentives, conferences and events, Capella Sydney and The Lands by Capella collectively offer 12 event and meeting spaces, providing a versatile platform for everything from executive board meetings and incentive programs to international conferences, product launches, gala dinners and luxury celebrations. Event venues are distinguished by soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, restored architectural features and state-of-the-art technology, complemented by Capella’s renowned personalised service and culinary excellence.

At the centre of The Lands by Capella’s event offering is the Capella Ballroom, a grand 536-square-metre venue accommodating up to 400 guests cocktail-style, alongside the Liberty Ballroom and a collection of elegant heritage suites designed for bespoke gatherings and multi-room events. Together, the precinct delivers one of Sydney’s most unique and prestigious event environments, seamlessly combining historic character with contemporary functionality.

Positioned in the heart of Sydney’s financial and cultural district, just moments from Circular Quay and major transport connections, Capella Sydney and The Lands by Capella offer an unparalleled setting for business events, luxury travel and unforgettable experiences within one of Australia’s most celebrated heritage precincts.
