Hold up, can we just take a moment to wrap our heads around the fact that 17 years have passed since Sydney hosted the Olympics! 17 YEARS! That’s practically a lifetime.
Now, let’s just take a second to realise that it’s also been THAT LONG since Sydney last received a new build, luxury hotel from an international brand.
17 YEARS!
AccorHotels broke the city’s dry spell this week when it officially launched Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour – the city’s first new build, international luxury hotel this millennium.
Also the first new build Sofitel property in Australia, the 5-star hotel is located in the centre of the city and offers 590 guestrooms..
Among the rooms available inside are the 35 coveted suites…
Featuring some of the best views in Sydney…
Guests will also find spacious events and meeting spaces…
Welcoming social spaces…
Oh, and who could walk past this inviting infinity pool without taking a quick dip…
Imagine swimming with that view…
AccorHotels’ Simon McGrath said the new hotel will be a “landmark hotel” for Sydney because of its convenient location, ability to host events and contribution to local tourism.
The opening of the Sofitel heralds a renaissance of new hotel development in Sydney, with over 40 hotels scheduled to open over the next five years to support the city’s record breaking tourism growth.
