With a flashy glass exterior, wraparound harbour views, and its very own champagne bar, this newly built hotel has brought style to Darling Harbour. The lobby, bathed in the natural light that streams through soaring, glass windows, has a gentle colour palette of ochre and blue – a nod to Australia’s indigenous heritage. Guests staying on floors 27-34 have access to Club Millesime, where breakfast, light snacks, canapés and drinks are served throughout the day. An express check in and out service is located up here, too. The brand new, two-storey spa has a range of wellness journeys, including the “half-day journey” — a five-hour treatment that combines exercise, nutrition, wellness and beauty treatments, and ends with a light lunch and guided meditation. Those in need of even more introspection can make use of the meditation zone or “contemplation deck.”
