About the hotel

Ensconce yourself in elegant inner-city luxury at this five-star jewel of Darling Harbour in Sydney, where city glamour meets considered urban living. The Darling Spa – heralded as one of the finest in the city – stands ready to pamper you with 11 treatment rooms, two exclusive couples’ suites, a Moroccan hammam, steam room and jacuzzi.

At onsite restaurant, Sokyo, the buzz of Tokyo meets a Sydney beat as chef Chase Kojima combines traditional Japanese training with contemporary Australian flavour. Glittering entertainment awaits you at The Star Sydney, where days of retail therapy glide into pre-dinner drinks or spectacular shows at the onsite Sydney Lyric Theatre.

The rest of the city is just at your fingertips, from the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge, to Bondi Beach and ferries across Darling Harbour. When the day is done, retreat to your impeccable room, fitted with floor-to-ceiling windows through which you can admire the city from on high, nestled in your urban sanctuary.
