ART DECO ELEGANCE

Australia’s first-ever Kimpton hotel, Kimpton Margot Sydney, has officially opened its doors on February 14. Located in the heart of Sydney’s south-side, just down from the State Theatre and the QVB, and close enough to be within walking distance to Surry Hills and Darlinghurst, Kimpton Margot Sydney is in a prime position for convenient access to the best retail, art and cultural institutions in town. The hotel boasts magnificent heritage-listed Art Deco architecture merged with modern Australian style. Cocooned inside are 172 incredibly spacious rooms and suites. Each room features whimsical wall art by global artists, evoking a worldly cosmopolitan perspective and warmth akin to home. There are close to 600 pieces of art adorning the property, with the hotel’s signature installation being the one in the lobby by Tony Twigg. This standout piece celebrates the brand’s approach to supporting emerging and artistic talent. Furthermore, guests can indulge their palates at Luke’s Kitchen which serves a menu that fuses Asian, European and modern Australian cuisine. Cellar By Luke, meanwhile, offers an indulgent wine experience where guests can dine surrounded by walls of Australian and international wines. Also, set amid the art-deco elegance of the lobby is the hotel’s 1930s-style The Wilmot Bar, replete with a plush velvet lounge and irresistible cocktail menu. kimptonmargotsydney.com
