5-star luxury waterfront hotel in Darling Harbour

Amenities

Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour offers 590 luxury rooms, including 35 lavish suites across 33 floors in Darling Harbour's tallest building. Guests can enjoy five distinct bars and restaurants, including the new Lumiere on Thirty Five, which features contemporary French cuisine. An infinity pool with stunning views of the Sydney skyline allows for year-round relaxation.

Rooms

The hotel provides 35 sqm (376 sq ft) Luxury Rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing Darling Harbour views. Each room comes with Sofitel MyBed(TM), premium French amenities, and either a separate shower or bath setting. Club Millésime rooms offer exclusive access to additional privileges and panoramic views from the top floors.

Location

Located next to the International Convention Centre, the hotel is a short stroll from Sydney's Central Business District and the Harbourside shopping area. Ferries from Darling Harbour provide easy access to iconic spots like the Sydney Opera House and Circular Quay. Private airport transfers and valet parking are available for guest convenience.

Wellness

The Sofitel SPA offers a range of treatments that blend French indulgence with Australian authenticity, including massages and facials from Biologique Recherche and Waterlily. Guests can also utilize the modern fitness centre, equipped with Technogym equipment and Peloton Bikes. The infinity pool invites guests to relax or swim while enjoying city views.

Dining

Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour hosts Atelier by Sofitel, a French-inspired grill using locally-sourced produce. Guests can enjoy drinks in the spectacular Champagne Bar, which boasts sky-high views of the harbour. Le Rivage Pool Bar offers poolside service for guests looking to unwind under the sun with a refreshing drink.

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.”
