PARADISE
SLICE OF
WEST HOTEL,
CURIO COLLECTION BY HILTON
On the western side of Sydney’s CBD – tucked in beside
Darling Harbour, King Street Wharf and the cultural,
retail and financial hub of Barangaroo – lies the
geometric, smoked-glass beauty of the West Hotel. With
Barangaroo’s foodie and shoppers’ paradise just 200
metres away, guests enjoy complete access to its public
spaces and vast waterfront, including the six-hectare
Sydney Harbour headland’s walking trails, views and
native Australian gardens. The Wharf here also hosts
ferries to Manly, Cockatoo Island and other must-see
locales. The West Hotel’s eye-catching geometric façade is
made of 333 individual panels of smoked glass – the first
of its kind in Australia – and sets the tone for the stylish
spaces and luxurious suites inside. The hotel’s highlight
must be the lush, rejuvenating ‘jungle’ atrium that forms
a gorgeous respite from the busy city, perfect for a coffee
or aperitif from the hotel’s signature dining venue,
Solander Dining and Bar.
