Sydney’s new Darling: inside the Darling Hotel

Every now and then a hotel so spectacular enters the picture that you’re forced to make a booking straight away, in case the rest of the world finds out. Have you reserved some time in the new Darling Hotel, Sydney yet?

Ideal for couples looking for romance and a new escape without leaving the city, the Darling Hotel is an impressive venture, even if you opt not to stay in an $1800-a-night suite. These suites, in case you’re tempted, have been uniquely designed by renowned LA designer, Lawrence Lee and all feature fireplaces, private butler service, media rooms and a private VIP arrival, as well as beautiful bespoke furniture and the all-essential floor to ceiling windows with Sydney Harbour views.

The complex of new restaurants, bars, cafes and shops are just as much a part of the Darling experience as the hotel, and The Star’s restaurant Sokyo is already winning rave reviews. It comes to the The Star with chef Chase Kojima from Nobu acclaim and puts a delicious, modern spin on Japanese. Vegemite croutons are a highlight.

Balla welcomes Stefano Manfredi back to the Sydney dining scene, serving up classic Milanese cuisine with an urban revival, while Momofuku - ‘Lucky Peach’ – is even luckier for David Chang, whose innovative Australian fare is drawing crowds nightly.

Black by (Teage) Ezard is dishing up Australian grass-fed wet and dry aged beef, and some spectacular seafood dishes. Reservations will be wise, and even if you’re not staying at the Darling Hotel, allow us make a booking on your behalf.

If you’ve got pampering in mind, the Darling Hotel’s 16-room day spa and Sydney’s first hamam won’t disappoint. The spa itself employs highly skilled staff from Turkey and between heavenly massages and bowls of luscious grapes you’ll be hard pressed to ever leave your frangipani-scented state of bliss.

A stay at the Darling, Sydney’s newest and most exciting five-star hotel is bound to relight a few fires. So contact us to help arrange your romantic escape without leaving the city.

Prices vary with seasonality so please contact your Concierge Traveller Advisor for more information. Concierge Traveller can also make your restaurant bookings for Balla, Black, Sokyo and Momofuku.
