The highly anticipated W Sydney is set to open its doors on Thursday October 12, 2023, the hotel confirmed on Wednesday.
Having recently unveiled details about its signature restaurant BTWN and 2AM: Dessert Bar, the 585-room luxury hotel is ramping up preparations for its spring opening after several years in development.
In addition to these dining venues, W Sydney will feature a double-level bar called 29/30, which will serve up wine, cocktails and a Basque-inspired tapas menu, while offering views of the harbour above its 30-metre mosaic infinity pool.
The bar’s upper tier on level 30 features yacht-inspired interiors and a menu of elevated cocktails and vintage champagnes by the glass.
W Sydney said the hotel will offer locals and guests a “day-to-night dining and social destination and a sleek retreat”.
“W Hotels is a brand that was born in New York, but destined for Sydney,” said General Manager, Craig Seaward.
“The pulse of the city is so aligned with the W spirit – the sense of originality and curiosity, the unique take on luxury, the bold attitude.
“Eclectic and unexpected, this new hotel will be a beacon for the harbour, a hub of constantly evolving experiences and exciting spaces that unfold from morning till late and are deeply connected to the life of the city.
“We can’t wait to share W Sydney with our guests when we open our doors on 12 October.”
Part of The Ribbon development, the design-led hotel features modern interiors by Bowler James Brindley, and a plethora of striking features through its collaborations with local artists, designers and creatives.
Australian-Ukrainian tattoo artist Stanislava Pinchuk designed a tattoo of stars for the hotel’s guestroom corridors, while muralist Sophi Oldling’s colourful art adorns the walls of BTWN.
The team’s uniforms have been created in partnership with celebrity stylist Jess Pecoraro, whose clients include such icons as Louis Vuitton, Bottega Veneta and Fendi.
