Sofitel Sydney Wentworth
A short stroll from the hustle and bustle of Circular Quay and the serenity of Sydney’s sprawling Royal Botanic Gardens, Sofitel Sydney Wentworth is in the centre of it all, making it perfect for first-timers to the city. Although older and looking a little tired when compared to the growing list of new, modern five-star hotels, the hotel still possesses a palpable sense of grandeur and classic luxury about it, with a gorgeous floral display and striking chandeliers greeting you upon arrival.
THE ROOM.
Spread over fifteen floors, the hotel offers 391 rooms and 45 spacious suites, most of which overlook the elevated horseshoe-shaped central courtyard. Offering the luxury of space, we stayed in a Junior Suite, which comprised a separate living area and a dedicated work area connected via a hallway.
AMENITIES.
For those staying in one of the property’s Club rooms or top-tier suites, guests have access to the exclusive Sofitel Club Lounge on Level 5, opposite the main restaurant and bordering the central courtyard. Open daily throughout the day, the Club offers breakfast in the morning and afternoon tea and evening canapes and drinks, along with all-day refreshments.
DINING.
Overlooking the leafy garden courtyard, Garden Court Restaurant is the hotel’s premier restaurant which blends French-inspired cuisine with local Australian flavours, open for dinner most nights.
