For city slickers

For a long time, a visit to The Sydney Tower was considered a one-off novelty mainly for tourists. Not anymore. The tower venues have been given a fabulous refurbishment by design studio loopcreative, turning them into places locals will want to return to time and time again. There’s fine dining at Infinity on level 81,

‘the country’s most elevated buffet experience’ at SkyFeast on level 82 – both with revolving floors – and Bar 83 cocktail lounge, decked out in dazzling “retrofuturistic” red and white (above).

loopcreative Director Rod Faucheux says the idea was to make visitors feel like they were entering a nostalgic time capsule paying homage to “the great bars and restaurants which have disappeared through Sydney over the tower’s lifetime” and to reflect “the joy of travel and what it felt like to go into different cities and have new adventures”.
