A Sydney icon for almost two decades, The Star Grand
Hotel has undergone an impressive transformation,
reaffirming its position as one of the city’s most
sophisticated and stylish destinations. Suites feature
plush furnishings, large marble bathrooms and sky-high
city views. Outside their rooms, guests are invited to
discover award-winning restaurants, the harbour-view
swimming pool and world-class entertainment,
all housed within the hotel’s vicinity.
DINE Sokyo pushes the limits of fine local produce
to realise an imaginative menu of traditional Japanese
delicacies with a modern twist. Order the melt-in-
your-mouth Wagyu flank steak and spicy edamame.
UNWIND Located in The Star’s neighbouring
residences, The Darling Spa is Sydney’s only
Forbes four-star rated spa, and offers results-driven
treatments to soothe a range of afflictions, from
dehydrated skin to stress-burdened muscles.
VISIT For a sensory experience (or that insta-worthy moment)
take the opportunity to appreciate The Star Grand Hotel’s newly
opened Grand Foyer, which boasts an interactive digital art
installation. Part light, part water and part digital art gallery, this is
a visual triumph that must be seen in person. —LULU CUSTANCE
