The 47 Most Anticipated Hotel Openings of 2023

Capella Sydney

Past the golden façade of the former Department of Education building in Sydney’s Sandstone Precinct will lie the 192-room Capella Sydney when it opens in March. Here, old and new will mingle: The restored marble-clad foyer, for instance, will give way to Aperture restaurant, which melds a nearly 23-foot-high green wall with a glass ceiling and Studio Drift sculpture. Meanwhile, the wellness center will boast copper-lined heritage lanterns hanging overhead.
