The hotel will include multiple food and beverage offerings, like Brasserie 1930s and McRae Bar, along with six meeting and conference rooms for groups of 10-80 people, on the ground floor.

It will be situated in close proximity to the city’s commercial, arts and cultural districts.

Capella Hotel Group president Cristiano Rinaldi said: “We’re looking forward to breathing new life into Sydney’s historical Department of Education Building together with Pontiac Land Group.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for us to establish our presence in Australia, introduce Capella’s craft of hospitality and continue our growth beyond Asia.”

The company already has properties in Ubud, Hainan, Bangkok, Hanoi, Singapore, and Shanghai.

In July this year, Capella Hotels and Resorts unveiled plans to open Capella Kyoto in Miyagawa-chō district, Japan in mid-2025.

The four-storey hotel will have 92 rooms, Japanese garden courtyard along with many dining options.
