Taking pride of place in Sydney’s commercial, arts and cultural hub, the Capella Sydney is an enviable new luxury offering in the heart of the harbour city’s lively CBD. Housed in an intricately restored heritage-listed building that was initially developed in the early 1930’s, this beautiful hotel balances storied architectural features with a light-palleted contemporary design aesthetic. Capella Sydney has been designed to indulge guests with luxurious accommodation, world-class cuisine, and cultural immersion.

Lord Howe Island is one of Australia’s most inspiring destinations, and Capella Lodge is its most exclusive residence. With astonishing ocean and mountain views, it makes for the perfect base to explore this remarkable and little-visited island. Capella is a boutique nine-suite lodge that carries all the hallmarks of luxurious beachside living, perched above Lord Howe Island’s spectacular Lover’s Bay. The visual drama is compelling: floor-to-ceiling windows allow Lord Howe’s signature subtropical forests, the towering twin peaks of Mounts Gower and Lidgbird, and the jewel-toned reef to take centre stage.

Overlooking St Patrick’s Cathedral and Fitzroy Gardens, this 5-star appointed hotel prides itself on exceptional levels of service, luxurious hotel amenities and excellent proximity to many of Melbourne’s unique city experiences. Just a few minutes travel from the hotel, guests can explore Melbourne’s lanes and arcades, museums, art galleries, copious restaurants and cafés and even the major sporting precinct to watch the Australian Open Tennis, or an AFL (Australian Rules Football) match.

Founded on Tasmanian culture, and steeped in the rich stories of the region, MACq 01 is Hobart’s newest and quirkiest of luxury hotels. The unique spirit and personality of Tasmanian characters flow throughout your stay at MACq 01 Hotel. This is a journey of people, time and place. On Macquarie Wharf, Hobart is MACq 01. Located in what was once a bustling wharf market, and then later a giant shipping shed, is a world-class waterfront experience. This unique spot is a storytelling hotel, hinting at the tale of Tasmanian culture.

Saffire Freycinet is a coastal sanctuary capturing the essence of Tasmania’s most sublime coastal region, the Freycinet Peninsula. The 20-suite retreat is located on the inside of a gentle curve of sandy coastline that joins the peninsula to mainland Tasmania. Distinct in its design and exclusive in its features, Saffire takes its inspiration from the colours of the peninsula – the pink granite of the Hazards Mountains, the white sandy beaches, the sapphire-blue waters and the grey-green of the native bushland. Panoramic windows showcase views of Great Oyster Bay where migrating whales and dolphins come to play.
