The club lounge’s expanded dining area now accommodates 123 guests, with an additional 47 seats, and features one of Sydney’s only communal tables in a hotel club lounge – a four-metre-long marble-topped solid timber centrepiece with a cold well from which guests can help themselves to premium Australian wines and sparkling wines.
Upgraded boardroom facilities in the club lounge seat ten people and now take in harbour views and offer full AV equipment, including a sophisticated sound system and two giant screens, free Wi-Fi and wired broadband Internet, as well as magazines and newspapers.
