The luxury 5-star W Sydney celebrated its official opening on 18 March 2024 with a Premiere Party on the Darling Harbour waterfront with a ‘Welcome to Sydney, Darling’ theme that highlighted the hotel’s iconic location and innate hospitality.
Since opening in October 2023, W Sydney has wowed guests with its detail-driven design, signature ‘Whatever, Whenever’ service and social Living Room space.
The Premiere Party hosted a who’s who of travel, style and hospitality, including W Hotels Vice President & Global Brand Leader George Fleck, Destination NSW CEO Steve Cox and assorted VIP guests.
Marriot International APEC guests President Raj Menon, Managing Director Luxury Oriol Montal, Area Vice President Steve Hunt and Multi-Property VP Krister Svensson were also in attendance.
VIP guests arrived on a deep-blue carpet and were greeted by a giant W-shaped floral installation.
Throughout the five-level hotel, standout features included cocktails, canapes and DJs on level 3; interactive desserts, such as edible wall art, and Maybe Sammy cocktails from the award-winning Sydney bar on level 5 along with a 45-minute DJ set from Synthony.
W Sydney’s décor reflects its environment with striking marine-inspired interiors across 588 guestrooms and the hotel has created a CBD entertainment precinct with the Living Room bar, BTWN restaurant, WET Deck and 29/30 double-storey rooftop bar.
W Sydney General Manager Titus Rosier said: “We haven’t stopped since we opened our doors in October, so it’s been great to take a moment to celebrate this unique property and share a magical, unforgettable evening with our friends, partners and guests.”
“W Sydney’s Premiere Party brought together the music, nightlife, fashion, food and design that all sit at the heart of the W brand to create a night of magnetic energy, creativity and fun for our guests.”
