Home to Sydney’s glamorous set, the eastern beachside suburb of Double Bay has been somewhat void of luxurious hotel accommodations fitting of its first-class neighbourhood, that is until now. The tired former Ritz Carlton and Stamford hotels have unveiled their much anticipated multi-million dollar refurbishment, freshly christened the InterContinental Sydney Double Bay.
In what promises to be a feast for the senses, the interior’s grand marble staircases, parquetry flooring and brass fixtures with white marble-adorned balconies, promise to reflect the charm and modern elegance of the finest international five-star hotels. The transformation’s piece de resistance is undeniably the open-air rooftop infinity pool, boasting a panoramic perspective of the Sydney Harbour. The hotel offers an array of dining options, all expertly overseen by globally renowned Michelin-starred chef Julien Pouteau, along with a grandiose cocktail lounge featuring a seven metre long marble and leather bar top. The 140 impeccably curated guest rooms and suites, including the largest one – the luxurious Royal Suite, are all an exercise in sophisticated, elegant design. This impeccable hotel promises to deliver a modern luxury resort alternative for a weekend in Sydney.
