What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
While a cheeky sense of humor is evident throughout... the real key is a canny coalescence of the hotel with the pulse of the city.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set on George Street, the hotel sits directly opposite the sandstone Queen Victoria Building, steps from Town Hall and Pitt Street Mall.
The rooms
Refurbished rooms feature a muted, neutral palette and framed windows overlooking the surrounding city architecture and Queen Victoria Building domes.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated 25-metre indoor lap pool sits lined with teal mosaic tile, flanked by loungers and potted greenery.
The spa and gym
Treatment rooms at Alysium Day Spa host massages and bodywork, and the health club adds saunas and steam rooms.
At the table
Glass Brasserie pours vintages from a 13-metre wine wall, and Zeta Bar mixes drinks on the outdoor rooftop terrace.
How it began
Built in 1893, the subterranean Marble Bar was painstakingly dismantled piece by piece and reassembled inside the hotel basement before opening.
