Sydney’s latest luxury offering opens
InterContinental Sydney Double Bay will open its doors on November 6th 2014.
Finishing touches are being made to the 140-room property in Sydney’s prestigious Double Bay village, with its world-class team standing by ready to welcome guests. The bayside sanctuary opening marks the revival of the original building at 33 Cross St, with restored features such as the grand staircase, Italian marble bathrooms and fireplaces, and Parisian balconies, enhanced by a contemporary redesign.
InterContinental Sydney Double Bay general manager Frederic Brohez said the hotel would open all rooms, features and facilities, from the first floor to the sixth, simultaneously. “We have seen this hotel grow from a construction site teeming with builders, painters and tilers, into a stunning contemporary retreat replete with designer furnishings, kitchens packed with produce and equipment, and more than 100 full-time staff ready to make our guests feel special.”
In the coming days, hotel executive chef Julien Pouteau will be conducting final menu tastings for destination restaurant Stockroom, while head sommelier Kabir Antoniak will be busy completing the expansive list of local and international wines.
The Stillery team will be filling the 7m-long marble bar with last arrivals of rare and vintage gins, and the rooftop pool overlooking the bay will be topped up ready to receive its first swimmer.
InterContinental Sydney Double Bay has worked together with developers and owners, Royal Hotels Australia and designers Bates Smart Architects to bring the bayside retreat to life over the past 12 months, ensuring no stone will be left unturned in delivering the luxury property to guests.
