HOTELS ON THE HORIZON

Sydney is welcoming a slew of slick new hotels, ready to host tourists in the Emerald City. One of the most anticipated is The Ace Hotel – the first in the southern hemisphere. Located in the historic Tyne House in Surry Hills, the 264-room designfocused hotel will showcase distinctive modernist interiors by Flack Studio.

In the CBD, Kimpton Sydney (the first property for the brand in Australia) has enlisted Luke Mangan to oversee the dining offerings in the luxury hotel, located within Pitt Street’s heritage-listed former Water Board headquarters.

The main restaurant is set to be Luke’s Kitchen, alongside a 1930s-inspired cocktail bar, an intimate wine bar and a poolside rooftop bar, plus a casual café.
