Capella Sydney: Located in the heart of Sydney’s historic and vibrant Walsh Bay precinct, Capella Sydney opened its doors in mid March to much excitement. The boutique hotel offers just 50 rooms and suites, each one thoughtfully designed with contemporary Australian style and sophistication in mind. The hotel’s interiors feature bespoke furnishings, original artworks, and curated antiques that create a warm and inviting ambiance.
Capella Sydney’s restaurant, The Drawing Room, is a must-visit for any foodie and would make for a truly special Mother’s Day celebration. Executive Chef Joshua Askew creates innovative dishes that showcase the best of local Australian produce, paired with an impressive wine list.
After a day of indulging in the city’s sights and sounds, Mum can unwind in the hotel’s serene Auriga Spa, which offers a range of treatments and therapies designed to promote relaxation and rejuvenation.
Ritz Carlton Melbourne: Located in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD, the towering Ritz Carlton Melbourne houses 263 luxurious rooms and suites. The hotel’s elegant interiors are inspired by the city’s heritage architecture, with each room boasting floor-to-ceiling windows that provide sweeping views of the sparkling city skyline.
Dining options at the Ritz Carlton Melbourne are plentiful, with two signature restaurants and a lobby lounge serving up delicious and innovative dishes. The hotel’s spa, The Ritz Carlton Spa (main image), is a serene sanctuary where Mum can relax and rejuvenate with a range of therapies and treatments.
Whether you’re looking for a luxury base to explore the city, or a weekend of relaxation and pampering, Capella Sydney and Ritz Carlton Melbourne are both an ideal destination for a Mother’s Day escape.
