Sydney Harbour gets Australia’s first pop-up floating hotel suite

Hotel booking site HotelTonight teamed up with Ovolo Hotels to create the “spontaneity suite”.

The luxurious pop-up suite, a floating hotel room that moored in Sydney’s stunning harbour in November. The suite is Australia’s first travelling hotel and has popped up before in Victoria’s Yarra Valley.

The suite is valued at $36,000 for an overnight stay but HotelTonight Australia, the booking app launched in August, exclusively offered people the chance to stay the lavish suite for $99 per night, for two nights only. But, as yet there is little evidence of any online reviews and begs the question will TripAdvisor now need a pop-up-hotel section?

The lavish suite with stunning views obviously comes complete with a rooftop Jacuzzi! It aims to capture the attention of travellers seeking a once-in-a-lifetime extravagant experience.

Lucky guests are transported by boat to where the suite is docked and treated to a night soaking up one of the world’s most recognisable views with all-inclusive room service delivered, by a floating waiter who is also transported by boat!

According to The Huffington Post Australia, the suite has a “smart in-room entertainment” where AppleTV and Netflix can be accessed through mobile devices. Travellers can also use an in-app chat feature called Aces which acts as their personal mobile concierge.

Anybody can book a penthouse in the Four Seasons with the right price, but we’re interested in helping Australians experience something unique and fulfil a different type of wanderlust,” Stefan Cordiner, HotelTonight regional director for Asia Pacific told The Huffington Post Australia.

This spectacular suite is offering a very different Australian hotel experience. The pop-up concept is definitely fun and unique and begs the questions, will it catch on? And where will it pop up next?
