Our take
This suits couples and families wanting a full spa and wellness programme alongside a genuine CBD-centre address near the Royal Botanic Gardens. Anyone on a tighter budget should look toward the CBD's apartment hotels instead, since this leans firmly upmarket. Its high tea service alone is worth the trip for many returning guests.
- Book high tea at least once, it's a genuine signature experience at this property
- Reserve spa treatments a few days ahead, weekend slots fill quickly here
- Walk to the Royal Botanic Gardens in the morning before the indoor pool gets busy
Why we love it
- A full spa and wellness centre

- Family and interconnected rooms
Why guests love itCapella Sydney offers family and interconnected rooms, which is why I would suggest it to parents who want a 5-star stay in the city centre. The indoor swimming pool works in any weather, and the spa, wellness centre and sauna give adults time out. The Royal Botanic Gardens and the Sydney Opera House are a short walk away, two easy outings with children. High tea is a pleasant extra. A 9.7 score from more than 750 reviews is exceptional.
