Sydney, Australia

Capella Sydney

Between the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge and the Royal Botanic Gardens, the residence, set within a historic 1912 building, blends naturally into its surroundings. Its Edwardian façade of golden sandstone – the stone emblematic of the area – crowned by a four-storey glass extension, signals the uniqueness of the place. One enters through bronze doors framed by columns, leading to stately marble steps. The reception spaces, shaped by light pouring through the glazed ceiling and furnished with Aboriginal artworks by Judy Watson, beside a planted atrium, already reveal the essence of the keys: urban havens in neutral or pale tones, with rustic and nomadic-inspired furniture. The Brasserie 1930, with its Art Deco finery, serves cuisine with local accents, its repertoire shaped by the seasons. With Fluidform, a pioneer of wellness in Australia, the spa offers a treatment unique to the place, marrying massage with holistic realignment.

At the restaurant, half a dozen Sydney rock oysters with a delicate mignonette sauce.
