“Top-tier Sydney stay near the Opera House”

Capella Sydney is called by several guests the city's best hotel: a beautifully decorated, high-end property near the Opera House with large, comfortable rooms and an exceptional eye for detail — one family received gifts for their child. The wellness center with steam and sauna facilities gets enthusiastic mentions, and staff are warm and enthusiastic. Breakfast divides opinion: most call it varied and good, while one reviewer found it ordinary. A practical warning: one guest was charged by both the hotel's valet and the adjacent car park — worth clarifying at drop-off.
