Capella Sydney

What the classifiers highlight

Sydney's Sandstone Precinct holds this city block, Capella's debut in Australia, Forbes notes, minutes from the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. The 192 rooms by BAR Studios mix local wood and stone with mid-century chandeliers. A nightly cocktail ritual called Echoes of Eternity anchors the storytelling, and the Auriga Spa's Connect to Country treatment uses hot stones.
