Welcome to The Capitol Hotel
A touch of theatre.
Enter stage left: for a stay that’s so right. The Capitol Hotel, a stylish fixture in Haymarket is ready to get this show on the road. Find us next to one of Australia’s only surviving atmospheric theatres, the heritage-listed Capitol Theatre. Located on the traditional land of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the site has a colourful past: from bustling hay marketplace to circus spectacles, vaudeville shows, and early talkies screenings.
Our esteemed guests will make their entrance under the grand chandelier. From there, we’ll meet at reception and you’ll have the option to use our self check-in kiosks. Boasting 95 showstopping rooms, an in-house eatery, and custom art prints throughout, our hotel celebrates the performing arts history and future of the precinct.
Whether you’re bringing the family, booking a work function, or staying for the pre-show atmosphere — drop in and explore Sydney city from the very centre.
