The hotel will revive a bygone era with the restoration of the iconic Ritz Carlton and reawaken a desire for glamour and subtle elegance, assured of personalised service and attention. A haven for world-class and unforgettable accommodation, entertainment, food and beverage and wellness offerings, InterContinental Sydney Double Bay will become the city’s greatest treasure for travellers and locals alike.
The hotel was acquired and is being developed by Royal Hotels Australia. Together with the InterContinental Sydney Double Bay and the retail mix on the ground floor, this redevelopment will see luxury redefined for the Sydney market.
“The restoration of this iconic building in Double Bay marks a pivotal stage in the growth of the portfolio of Royal Hotels Australia Pty Ltd. The enriching local experiences coupled with world-class service provided to world travelers by InterContinental Hotels Group meant it was the true aspirant to re-launch the property,” said Peter Wilding, Managing Director of Royal Hotels Australia
The hotel will showcase 140 serene guestrooms and suites with beautifully reinstated original features including Italian white marble bathrooms and European fashioned balconies, complimented with a contemporary design twist. Stunning views abound over Double Bay village, the tranquil bay or the internal French provincial styled courtyard. For something truly memorable and definitive in privacy, there are 14 Executive Suites and the spectacular Royal Suite boasting floor to ceiling views of Double Bay.
"InterContinental Sydney Double Bay will be Sydney’s newest luxury hotel, and is part of a wider plan to re-invigorate the exclusive and iconic Double Bay area. InterContinental is world-renowned as a luxury hotel brand, and customers can expect nothing but the best from this newly renovated hotel. It will be the only five star property outside the CBD,” Frederic Brohez, General Manager, InterContinental Sydney Double Bay said.
The regency architecture style of the hotel with dramatic inward facing spaces lends itself to a hidden oasis. On the rooftop of the hotel lies an infinity pool and lounge area complete with cabanas and water vistas. A secluded courtyard is also uniquely presented to the guests of the InterContinental Club Lounge with all the dedicated amenities seen through the worldwide VIP service including all day dining and refreshments and business centre assistances.
