The region’s indigenous roots run deep at Capella Sydney. The newly opened 192-room hotel boasts menus celebrating age-old cooking techniques, wellness treatments inspired by native traditions, and onsite Capella Culturalists – a mix of local guides and in-the-know concierges. Take advantage of complimentary events like historian-led storytelling sessions and guided market tours. And don’t miss the local artwork woven throughout the property. More than 1,500 pieces were commissioned to depict Australia’s ancient past.
