5 Reasons Why This Hotel Is Perfect for a Sydney Staycation

Stylish, central and spoiled for choice: check into a five-star fantasy without leaving the city at Amora Hotel Jamison Sydney.

Everyone needs to get away sometimes. While a globe-hopping adventure is always a thrill, splashing out on a long weekend a little closer to home can be the perfect way to break up your routine with a touch of the lux. Whether you’re pressed for time or saving that holiday leave for something special, a savvy staycation can maximise your leisure time.

Enter Amora Hotel Jamison Sydney, the ideal city break. From picture-perfect pink high teas dedicated to a great cause to its extravagant club lounge (canapes included), read on to discover what makes Amora Hotel Jamison Sydney one of the city’s best stays.

1. The Wonderlab Spa is the perfect interlude between bouts of city living

There’s no better way to set the speed for your escape than with a trip to Wonderlab Spa. Offering a comprehensive range of spa treatments backed by a commitment to non-invasive therapy – including themed Girl’s Night Out packages bundled with the hotel’s famous high tea – Wonderlab offers a wonderful chance for rest and rejuvenation. The day spa’s extensive facial menu is highly recommended, with ingredients like blue amber and white pearl helping to boost hydration and protect the skin.

2. The 31st-floor Jamison Club Lounge offers endless perks

Sophistication is the name of the game at the Jamison Club Lounge, the hotel’s exclusive space for wining, dining and reclining. Timeless simplicity and a warm atmosphere lay the groundwork for this sky-scraping social hub; private panoramic views are matched with complimentary (and delicious) food. Check into a Jamison Club King Room or Jamison Club Park Suite for access to this private lounge and toast to the top of Sydney’s skyline with nightly house drinks and canapes (served daily from 5.30pm to 7.30pm).

3. Every Sunday you can partake in a pink high tea

Sundays are for the socialites, and high tea is the perfect occasion for a stylish catch-up on the Amora Hotel Jamison Sydney’s panoramic Level 31. Under the attentive guidance of Chef Gary Thakur, Amora Pink High Tea plates up delicate petit fours and fresh sandwiches to match a selection of premium Dilmah tea. And with a portion of each ticket sale going toward the McGrath Foundation, an elegant afternoon out helps support a good cause. Raise a glass with a welcome drink of sparkling wine – we recommend upgrading your booking for free-flow mimosas.

4. There’s a 1920s-inspired bar for Prohibition-era revelry

At sunset Broosky Bar’s warm lights blink to life, calling you to an evening steeped in glamour. Inspired by the Prohibition era’s jet-setting thrills, Brooksy Bar works time-travelling alchemy to pair beloved cocktails with far-flung flavours. Take flight with the bar’s signature take on the Aviation cocktail (gin, maraschino liqueur, crème de violette), then touch down in Italy with the Amalfi Coast-inspired Saluti (house-made citruscello, peach granita and prosecco). As the night rolls by, refresh your palate with light bites of yellowtail ceviche or yuzu scallops topped decadently with red caviar and wasabi. Open Monday to Saturday (from 5pm until late), Brooksy Bar offers a taste of the world’s best, shaken and poured into central Sydney.

5. All of Sydney’s top sights are within easy walking distance

Conveniently located near central Wynyard Station, Amora Hotel Jamison Sydney makes touring the city’s best sights a breeze. An easy 20-minute walk to the Sydney Opera House or the Harbour Bridge, the must-see spots of Circular Quay and The Rocks are practically on your doorstep. Contemplate cutting-edge local works at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia or stroll over to the Royal Botanic Garden, the city’s green heart. When you’re done for the day, return to your five-star stay (and maybe refresh yourself with a cocktail).
