"Expect French flair and a whiff of romance when you stay at the Sofitel in one of Sydney's most desirable destinations, Darling Harbour. Start your visit at the Champagne Bar..."

The award-winning Sofitel Darling Harbour hotel is located in the banks of this captivating destination – Darling Harbour – in this city that smartly presents Australian modernity at its finest. Containing a vibrant cityscape, an exciting array of dining opportunities and an abundance of recreational and shopping experiences that are mere steps away, Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour is bang smack in the heart of it all. Expect French flair at every turn, and don’t be surprised if you’re welcomed here in French (“bienvenue”), as the Sofitel chain of hotels, owned by Accor, is very much a French brand.

Observe the lively harbour and cityscape from anywhere in this 35-floor resort and from any of its 590 rooms and suites. First up, there are floor-to-ceiling windows in all accommodations to best optimise the stunning views (if you book on the right side and as high up as you can go), so you can sightsee from your room day and night (although there are no balconies). Yet inside, there’s a lot of luxury to be enjoyed: expect to find a Nespresso machine at your disposal, gorgeous teabags from Singapore’s famous TWG teahouse and luxurious toiletries by Hermes. Bathrooms come with self-standing tubs, separate showers and twin sinks. Room interiors are cleverly designed with all the latest mod cons, and soft shades of white and beige on the bed, floors and furnishings are highlighted by regal pops of purple here and there. There’s a club floor (well worth the extra for the breakfast, nibble and drinkies, we say) and the suites are super-luxurious if you’re looking for more space.

When it comes to food and drink, you won’t need to wander far should you wish to stay put. Atelier by Sofitel is the signature restaurant, and this glorious French grill venue has three open kitchens; never a dull moment. Sourcing Australia’s finest produce, the sommelier will, on the flip side, offer the country’s finest wines to match your food choice (even though you could, if you wished, opt for a French option). There are other drinking and dining spots here too, including the very chic Champagne Bar that’s not to be missed, and the Pool Bar that’s a great place for a casual meal and a refreshing beverage (or two).

Recreation comes in the form of an outdoor, very chic infinity pool overlooking the iconic skyline, and there’s also a fully-equipped first-class gymnasium (aptly named SoFit).
