CUSTODIANS OF HERITAGE
The Fullerton Hotel Sydney opens in a landmark heritage building in Sydney’s downtown core
The Fullerton Hotels and Resorts, the winner of Business Traveller Awards 2019 for ‘Best Independent Hotel’ brand, recently launched its first international outpost in Australia, breathing new life into a much-loved historic General Post Office (GPO) landmark in Sydney. For more than a century, the iconic building defined the Sydney skyline and was known as the city’s rendezvous point. It was the place where people gathered – where news first broke. In the mid-20th century, Sydneysiders dressed to the nines to meet beneath the GPO clock. Today, the magnificent building continues to command a prominent social and physical position in the city.
Newly transformed as The Fullerton Hotel Sydney in October 2019, the property is located in the heart of the financial and fashion district. Guests can enjoy an elevated stay experience and easily access Sydney’s thriving cultural precincts, retail malls, dining destinations and tourist attractions including the Sydney Opera House, the Royal Botanic Garden and Circular Quay.
The brand’s vision for the 416-room property is to deliver a unique, luxury hotel experience that is synonymous with warm hospitality and one-of-akind flair, inviting guests to immerse in the great location, heritage and culture of the destination.
The Fullerton Hotels and Resorts is also committed to its role as custodians of heritage. The Fullerton Hotel Singapore and The Fullerton Bay Hotel Singapore showcase the brand’s dedication in preserving heritage buildings and their stories. Similarly, the brand has invested in extensive façade remediation work to restore the historic landmark building in Sydney, presenting the best version of it to global travellers and Sydneysiders.
To celebrate its partnership with Preferred Hotels & Resorts, The Fullerton Hotel Sydney is offering guests an opening special package until March 17, 2020 which includes triple ‘I Prefer’ Hotel Rewards points and a dining credit of AUD$50 (US$34). The credit can be redeemed at all the dining outlets within the Hotel, including The Place, a restaurant which serves Modern Australian and Southeast Asian cuisines. Alternatively, guests can enjoy a taste of Sydney at The Bar, which serves Sydney Sling – an Australian version of the famed Singapore cocktail.
Sophisticated and culturally refined, The Fullerton Hotel Sydney offers exquisite accommodation facilities, stellar service, fine dining, immersive experiences and complimentary heritage tours – setting the stage for an unforgettable experience Down Under.
