CCTV footage released by NSW police reveals officers at the hotel confiscated the box from the man after he was seen allegedly repositioning a white envelope inside the box.
Police inspected the contents and found a white envelope containing what is alleged to be an MDMA capsule.
Officers then arrested the man and searched him, finding a bag of white powder alleged to be cocaine.
The 37-year-old received a Court Attendance Notice for supplying and possessing prohibited drugs.
He will appear at Downing Centre Local Court on June 19.
Police investigations continue.
