Job description

Capella Hotels and Resorts embodies excellence in the craft of hospitality. Our constellation spans Asia Pacific, with future openings in the Middle East and Europe. Each property is a custodian of heritage, reflecting meticulous restoration and unseen artistry to offer experiences that illuminate travel. Named Best Hotel Brand by Travel + Leisure for four consecutive years, Capella combines the highest levels of craftsmanship with personalised service to create bespoke luxury. Auriga Spa, our signature wellness sanctuary inspired by lunar cycles, brings holistic wellbeing to each destination.

Join one of the world’s leading hotels.

Capella Sydney occupies one of the city’s most significant heritage buildings, the former Department of Education in the heart of Sydney’s Sandstone Precinct. Opened in March 2023 as the first Capella hotel in Australia, the 192-room property brings together the character of its historic sandstone architecture with contemporary design, thoughtful hospitality and a strong connection to the city.

In 2026, Capella Sydney was named Best Hotel in Oceania and No. 16 in The 50 Best Hotels, recognising its place among the world’s leading hotels.

Behind this recognition is a team of passionate people who take pride in their craft and the experiences they create. At Capella Sydney, you will have the opportunity to work alongside talented hospitality professionals, contribute your own ideas and develop your skills in an environment where individuality, collaboration and genuine care are valued.

Brasserie 1930 redefines the classic brasserie experience by celebrating the finest Australian produce and hospitality.

Brasserie 1930 delivers a refined dining experience, distinguished by warm, friendly and knowledgeable service.

• Strong communication and teamwork skills.
• Relevant culinary qualifications (e.g. Certificate III in Commercial Cookery).
