Accommodation
Whether you are travelling from out of town, or want to treat yourself during the Sydney Contemporary week, stay in style with our Hotel Partners; Ace Hotel Sydney, Capella Sydney and Moxy Sydney Airport. Offering exceptional accommodation, these hotels have a special discount code available to Fair visitors.
Ace Hotel Sydney lives in a rejuvenated, hundred-year-old Heritage Federation Warehouse building — home to the first brick kiln in Australia. Inspired by the vibrant neighbourhood, Ace Sydney is a communal space that offers casual, considered accommodations, designed with care by Flack Studio. Drawing inspiration from architect Robin Boyd’s paradigm-shifting book, The Australian Ugliness, the paintings of Indigenous Australian artist Albert Namatjira and the building site’s legacy of pottery and ceramic creation, Flack Studio has conjured a hotel that’s a deep homage to Australia. Inside the hotel, find original pieces by celebrated Australian artists, including Nadia Hernandez, Nell, Julia Gutman, Jason Phu and more.
Nestled against the CBD in Surry Hills, Ace is easily accessible by bus and train, and just a 9-minute drive to Carriageworks. Sydney Contemporary guests can enjoy up to 20% off rooms – use the code ACEXSC when booking. Valid for the month of September 2024.
Your Sydney Contemporary VIP Pass or ticket unlocks a 10% discount off lunch and dinner at LOAM, the ground floor neighbourhood restaurant. Valid throughout September 2024, excluding specialty menus, events and upon presentation of your ticket at time of payment.
The first Australian property in the Capella Hotels and Resorts portfolio, Capella Sydney embeds visitors in the beating heart of the city’s commercial, cultural and hospitality precincts. For generations, the Department of Education building stood quietly, its golden facade forming an unassuming backdrop to the rhythm of the city. Reawakened as Capella Sydney in March 2023, the heritage-listed icon, originally designed by Government Architect George McRae in the early 1900’s, now welcomes guests inside its walls for the first time, setting a global benchmark for luxury accommodation, cuisine, and cultural immersion.
Balancing storied architectural features with a contemporary design aesthetic, the unparalleled spaces within Capella Sydney showcase curated artwork, sophisticated furnishings, and intriguing objet d’art. 192 Guestrooms and Suites are anchored by three ground-level food and beverage offerings: Signature restaurant Brasserie 1930, McRae Bar and Aperture. The ground level also features a collection meeting and event spaces catering for groups of 10 to 80 guests.
Staying in-house at Capella Sydney opens the doors to an exclusive world of luxury and cultural connection. The Living Room, a signature space of all Capella properties, provides a sophisticated gathering place where in-house guests can partake in daily Capella Rituals and immerse themselves in local culture amid a thoughtful collection of artefacts, while wellness-seeking guests will make their way to level six to discover the world-class health and spa facilities.
Sydney Contemporary guests can enjoy 15% off when booking this hotel for a minimum 2-night stay. Use the code SCAF24 when booking. Valid for the week of Sydney Contemporary, 2-8 September 2024.
