- Capella Sydney named best in Oceania in The 50 Best Hotels 2026
Capella Sydney has been named No. 16 and Best Hotel in Oceania in the global ranking of The 50 Best Hotels 2026.
Opened in 2023 as the first Capella hotel in Australia, the 192-room Capella Sydney brings together heritage architecture, contemporary design and a considered collection of more than 1,400 artworks.
“To be recognised once again among the world’s finest hotels is a wonderful acknowledgement of what our team has built together,” said Marc von Arnim, general manager of Capella Sydney.
“Since opening in 2023, our goal has always been to create a hotel that feels connected to Sydney, while staying true to the thoughtful and intuitive hospitality that is at the heart of Capella.
“This recognition belongs to our colleagues, whose care, curiosity and commitment shape every guest experience.”
Rosewood Hong Kong claimed the title of The World’s Best Hotel for a second consecutive year. Thailand’s Capella Bangkok and Four Seasons Bangkok at Chao Phraya River took the No.2 and No.3 spots respectively.
Rosewood Hong Kong’s success comes from its ability to ensure each stay is given the same touches one would expect of a boutique property, according to The 50 Best Hotels.
“To win it two years in a row, that’s down to everyone who comes and sees us, visits the hotel, eats at our restaurants and enjoys our spa,” said Hugo Montanari, managing director of Rosewood Hong Kong.
“It shows that the team back home are making it special every day.”
