Perfectly positioned on Sydney's iconic beachfront, the reimagined hotel will offer 198 elegantly designed rooms and suites, many with uninterrupted Pacific Ocean views, alongside an ocean-facing infinity pool, luxury cabanas, and a vibrant leisure deck.

With state-of-the-art event spaces including a Grand Ballroom, the hotel blends soulful escapes and meaningful connection with refined coastal elegance — setting a new benchmark for beachfront hospitality in Australia.
