The 5-star Sofitel Sydney Wentworth reopens, ushering a new era of French-inspired luxury in Australia’s biggest city
The stunning lobby of Sofitel Sydney Wentworth, where elegance meets warmth, inviting guests from near and far
Located in Sydney (Australia), the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth is delighted to throw open its doors and begin welcoming guests again. With 436 guest rooms and suites, the hotel’s original charm has been reignited and modernised for the 21st century.
Situated in the heart of Sydney’s central business district, Sofitel Sydney Wentworth offers unparalleled convenience, being located just minutes from iconic landmarks such as the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge and the luxury fashion district.
A refreshed Sydney icon
The refurbishment re-ignites and celebrates the hotel’s glamorous past while propelling it firmly into the future. Originally opened in 1966, the building was designed in a post-war minimalist style and was the largest brick structure in the Southern Hemisphere. Now, the hotel embodies the essence of ‘Modern Heritage’, with much of the refurbishment led by architecture and interior design firm FK. In line with Sofitel’s Cultural Link, the brand logo consisting of two intertwining curves standing for two cultures that come together to create an unparalleled experience, the refreshed hotel embodies the spirit of the Australian landscape (with much of the natural colour palette and locally sourced materials) with an inimitable French Zest.
The refurbished Sofitel Sydney Wentworth beautifully blends modern heritage with the spirit of the Australian landscape, infused with a touch of French elegance
Throughout the public spaces, striking lighting features illuminate vibrant pockets of space for guests to enjoy. Also known as the ‘Hotel of the Arts’, the hotel frequently hosts art exhibitions through its partnerships with cultural organisations such as the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Opera Australia and the Australian World Orchestra.
