ASTRO-TRAVEL
We visit Australia’s first astrology hotel to see if the stars align
Sydney has opened its doors to an entirely new concept – the astrology hotel! Tailoring your stay to suit your star sign, The Ultimo is the perfect boutique hotel if you’re looking for something a little different on your inner-city getaway. Woman’s Day went to see what all the fuss is about…
Location
The Ultimo’s central Haymarket location is an instant drawcard – in the heart of Chinatown, it’s also close to the CBD and Darling Harbour. To help you make the most of your Sydney stay, guests are greeted with a suggested city guide based on their astrological sign. This includes “gastrology” recommendations on where to eat, and “explorology” ideas for things to do and see.
Leos (in case you’re interested) should chow down on a burger at Ze Pickle and then take in the view from atop Sydney Tower!
Astro touches
Horoscope “do not disturb” cards, astrolo-tea chosen to match your star sign and zodiac-themed slippers are just some of the quirky ways this boutique hotel manages to make you feel special. And if you really want to explore the zodiac in more depth, the astrology library in the lobby will leave you feeling starstruck!
Bespoke star packages
For the even more celestially inclined, a series of astrology packages are available when you book. These include a personalised star chart based on the exact time and location of your birth, a moon calendar, and a one-on-one consultation with a member of the Stars Like You astrology team. Packages start at $224.
