Sydney’s hotel game is on the up and up. Earlier this year, the doors opened at The Eve, and Oxford Street is just weeks away from welcoming the magnificent 25Hours Hotel The Olympia. Now, a new bombshell has entered the villa: with Caption by Hyatt Central Sydney on track to open on October 13.

Occupying a modern, sustainably-designed tower on Haymarket’s Parker Street, Caption by Hyatt Central Sydney is the first Caption by Hyatt hotel to open in Australia. Part of Hyatt’s global portfolio of more than 1,300 properties, the Caption by Hyatt brand celebrates creativity and connection, with Temara Exton, General Manager, Caption by Hyatt Central Sydney explaining that the brand is “all about people and place – creating genuine connections between travellers, locals, and the Haymarket neighbourhood we share.”
At the first Sydney outpost of the brand, this focus on community includes a collaboration with local artist Chris Yee, whose work will be showcased throughout the hotel. Local producers will form the backbone of the menu and minibar, and room amenities will be sourced locally too. Most notably, the community ethos will also be seen through the hotel’s community hub: Talk Shop. Open morning and night, this light-filled space will serve as the hotel’s café, bar, and social epicentre – designed to host local events, pop-ups, and collaborations.
Designed to appeal to modern travellers, the hotel will also be tech-enabled – with keyless rooms (guest phones will be enabled to unlock rooms) and mobile check-ins. These features aren’t designed to minimise human connection, but to make stays more seamless – with human connection cited as the beating heart of the brand.
“We’ve created places for the community to connect… with a focus on cultural immersion,” says Exton.
In Sydney, Hyatt hotels include the magnificent Park Hyatt (which has been setting the standard for luxury in Sydney since 1990) and the huge Hyatt Regency, with the Caption by Hyatt bringing a new, playful energy.
“The launch of Caption by Hyatt Central Sydney marks an exciting milestone for Hyatt as we bring this dynamic and community-driven brand to Australia for the very first time. Caption by Hyatt reflects the evolving needs of modern travellers, combining tech-enabled convenience with meaningful connections and locally inspired experiences,” explained Kate Atkinson, Vice President, Global Sales, Hyatt Sales Force, Asia Pacific.
Caption by Hyatt Central Sydney is due to open on Parker Street October 13, 2025. You can learn more and book here.
