3. It’s home to the largest indoor heated pool in the Blue Mountains
Swim a lap or two in the Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains by MGallery’s indoor heated pool, the largest in the Blue Mountains.

The resort is also home to a sparkling outdoor pool for the warmer months, bordered by a sun-kissed deck for lazy summer days.
4. It has its own whiskey tavern
Inspired by the whiskey bars of old, Two Doctors Whiskey Tavern is a whimsical speakeasy hidden in the resort's basement. Furnished with leather chesterfields and velvet armchairs, the walls are adorned with vintage bookshelves, unique antiques and bottles of fine Australian and international whiskeys. The impressive list of local drops can be enjoyed neat or in inventive cocktails showcasing Australian craft spirits and native ingredients.
