Club Millésime rooms offer exclusive access to additional privileges and panoramic views from the top floors.

Highlights

Location: Next to International Convention Centre

Rooms: 590 luxury rooms across 33 floors

Dining: Five distinct bars and restaurants

Wellness: Sofitel SPA & infinity pool

Business: Seven versatile event spaces

“The location is undeniably prime for exploring Sydney, and the design thoughtfully incorporates wellness with its spa and fitness amenities. However, reports of inconsistent service and housekeeping standards give me pause; a true luxury stay should deliver seamless excellence. While the rooftop infinity pool is a draw, I think travelers should weigh these considerations carefully.”
