The hotel occupies a heritage-listed building that originally housed the Sydney Water Board, retaining original marble columns and Art Deco details across 172 rooms. Guest rooms include a Samsung tablet for hotel services, smart TV with Chromecast streaming, and an organic cotton robe designed by Australian artist Georgia Draws a House. Oversized bathrooms feature natural Australian amenities and a separate shower or tub, with room service available 24 hours.
Dining & Social Hour
Luke's Kitchen, the on-site restaurant by renowned chef Luke Mangan, serves creative Australian cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Between 5 and 6 PM daily, the hotel offers a complimentary evening social hour with local wines, beer, and a signature cocktail for all guests. The Wilmot bar in the lobby transitions from café to cocktail venue, while the rooftop bar serves drinks alongside the heated swimming pool.
Amenities & Activities
A rooftop heated swimming pool is open year-round with sun loungers and towel service, accompanied by a cocktail bar. Guests can borrow custom-designed Kimpton Lekker bicycles to explore the city, or attend the on-site yoga studio open 24 hours. The hotel provides pet-friendly amenities including pet baskets, bowls, and a welcome note, and all pets stay with no size or weight restrictions.
Location & Nearby Attractions
The hotel is a five-minute walk from Town Hall station and Gadigal train station, with light rail stops and bus stands on George Street. Hyde Park and Queen Victoria Building are within two blocks, and the Capitol Theatre is the closest 5-star hotel to its doors. Sydney Opera House, Circular Quay, and Darling Harbour are reachable on foot or via a short tram ride.

“The staff's attentiveness clearly stands out; the luminous and spacious suites are a definite plus, and its prime location makes getting around easy. The absence of a spa is a slight miss for a five-star experience, but this hotel's strengths certainly outweigh that detail. All in all, a smart choice when in Sydney.”
