If you call the countryside home, an escape
to the city can offer the same respite as a
rural retreat and if you dwell in the city,
it’s a break from the metropolis minus the
out-of-town commute.
Amid the hustle and bustle of Sydney, for
example, you’ll find the perfect oasis in the
Swissôtel. Hidden away in the heart of the
city, and with plush suites, a restorative
day spa and cosy restaurant in which to
take refuge, it’s the ideal urban escape for
those longing for a little time out.
Considering its location at the entrance
to Pitt Street Mall and opposite the
Queen Victoria Building, Swissôtel
doesn’t discriminate against visitors
whose definition of ‘recharge’ includes
retail therapy and sightseeing. At your
doorstep, you’ll find an array of boutique
and fashion brands and, just a short
walk away, Sydney’s iconic landmarks,
including the Sydney Harbour Bridge and
the Opera House. If it’s a family holiday,
Swissôtel serves as an ideal base with
interconnecting kids’ rooms stocked with
age-appropriate toys, games, teepees and
even a special kids’ mini bar.
If yourideaofrechargingsimplymeans

there’s plenty to keep you occupied at
the Swissôtel. Indulge in your favourite
treatment in the luxe day spa, take in the
cityscape from the heated outdoor pool or
slip into the jacuzzi for a thorough relax.
When you’re totally blissed out, head to
the hotel’s swanky, yet easygoing eatery,
JPB Restaurant. A popular choice for
locals and guests, Executive Chef Paul
Clune serves up a seasonally inspired
menu of contemporary Australian classics
made with fresh and locally sourced
produce. Taking heed of the brand’s Swiss
foundations, wellbeing and vitality are at
the centre of the restaurant experience- whatever that means to you. To Clune
it means a menu featuring both a vitality
lunch – think soba noodles, poached
chicken, kale and avocado, and detox juices - and an authentic fondue experience for
cheese enthusiasts.
Having created their own special cheesy
fondue recipe, the Swissôtel becomes
a hotspot for fondue fans during the
winter months. Served alongside an
assortment of dips and accompaniments,
you can catch the experience until 31
August. For dessert, try the house-made
Swiss chocolate fondue complete with
marshmallows, fruit, cake and nuts.
