InterContinental Sydney’s US$120 million renovation has culminated in
the transformation of its public spaces, guestrooms, wellness areas,
club lounge, restaurants and bars.
“InterContinental Sydney is one of the city’s most loved and storied
hotels, and we are excited to welcome back our guests to form part of
its next chapter and explore what the new era for this hotel hails,”
said Jennifer Brown, general manager of InterContinental Sydney. “I know
many are eager to sample the curated cocktails and soak in the
spectacular views from our new rooftop bar. This is just one of the many
new experiences we have to share.”
The inspiration behind the hotel’s new look was drawn from the
Australian landscape, Sydney harbour and neighbouring Royal Botanic
Garden.
Each of the hotel’s 509 well-appointed guestrooms and suites are
given a modern face-lift, featuring green and blue accents derived from
the room’s window views of the gardens and harbour. Additional in-room
amenities include new integrated Google Chromecast services, Byredo
toiletries and a minibar that offers curated beverages and snacks from
local suppliers.
Guests staying in one of InterContinental Sydney’s refreshed Club
Rooms can access the hotel’s new Club InterContinental lounge located
within the property’s refurbished rooftop space that looks out to the
Sydney Harbour.
The hotel’s entrance and lobby have also undergone a transformation,
featuring intimate reception pods where guests can enjoy a more
comfortable check-in experience. The main feature of this space is a new
and intricate feature art wall that details a historical timeline of
the city and property from 1788 to the present day.
To get their wellness and fitness on, guests can head to the new
state-of-the-art gym and an indoor heated pool situated 31 stories
offering breathtaking views of the Sydney Opera House.
There are three new F&B offerings to look forward to. Aster Bar
on level 32 is a rooftop space featuring panoramic views of Sydney’s
harbourside, offering immersive dining experiences that delve into
quintessential Australia flavours.
There’s also another bar located at the lobby called The Treasury,
serving up a menu of cocktails, wines and fusion dishes that integrates
botanical flavours.
The Conservatory is newly designed breakfast space with open cooking
stations and a walk-in pantry. Throughout the day and evening the space
can be booked for exclusive use as a premium event space. A unique,
circular private dining room, wrapped in floor to ceiling plush green
velvet, is also available to hire for up to 16 guests.
Meeting planners can consider the fourteen flexible meeting and event
areas complemented by revamped food and fine beverage experiences,
refurbished rooms and suites and an on-site event and audio-visual
specialist team. The hotel is equipped to host all scale of events from
business meetings and intimate gatherings through to large conferences,
brand launches, weddings and celebrations.
