If there’s one thing everyone needs at the end of another gruelling year, it’s a break. And working out how to make the most of that break just got a little easier with a new Sydney luxury boutique hotel with a knack for adding personal touches to your special stay.
Kimpton Margot Sydney, the first Australian iteration of luxury boutique brand Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, is taking Harbour City stays to a whole new level. Opening doors to guests in February 2022, Kimpton Sydney offers luxurious accommodation on the doorstep of some of the city’s best shopping and dining. In a city that already has its fair share of treasures, Kimpton Margot Sydney is emerging as a clear standout. If you need a place to stay on your next visit, it’s a no-brainer.
The location of Kimpton Sydney is superb with its blend of nightlife from neighbouring Chinatown and Darlinghurst and independent spirit from the nearby Surry Hills, all brought to life in this incredible building that’s connected to Sydney’s heritage.
Heritage and history
Part of Kimpton Sydney’s charm is its pedigree. The heritage-listed building began its life as the head office for Sydney Water. It has since been reimagined as a luxury hotel, oozing with Art Deco sensibility. The new design pays homage to the style of the 1930s, featuring elegant interiors with sophisticated lighting and a touch of warmth that makes you feel right at home.
Luxurious lodgings
Indulgence is the name of the game and Kimpton Sydney’s 172 spacious, contemporary rooms and suites certainly don’t disappoint – think plush beds, luxurious linens and modern bathrooms, the signature Kimpton robe and slippers and the sounds of a curated playlist. An art collection of almost 600 pieces throughout the hotel from local and international artists brings it all together.
Serene spaces
From intimate gatherings to catch-ups with old friends, Kimpton Sydney’s common areas provide serene meeting settings. The conference and event spaces are bathed in natural sunlight and super impressive. And the rooftop swimming pool has to be one of the coolest spots in the city to chill out on a hot summer’s day.
A refined tipple
Guests at the Kimpton Sydney have no reason to go thirsty – in the evening the lobby lounge transforms into a stylish cocktail bar. Sip on native botanical cocktails at the swanky rooftop bar Level Seven and soak up the sun. And wine lovers should take an opportunity to enjoy a tasting as well as a sense of history in the impressive 500-bottle-strong wine cellar.
Seriously social
It wouldn’t be a Kimpton hotel without the brand’s iconic daily Social Hour – and Kimpton Margot is destined to become a new social melting pot offering guests a chance to mingle with locals over a complimentary drink.
The extra mile
Personalised experiences are part of the DNA of Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants. While no two Kimpton Hotel’s are the same, wherever you are in the world Kimpton staff will always go that extra mile to make sure all the finer details are taken care of. From brand hallmarks that that include a morning ritual like your morning coffee just as you like it, morning coffee, yoga mats in your room and complimentary designer bikes to explore the local neighbourhood. And if you have a four-footed friend, feel free to bring them along – pets are most welcome.
Prime position

Savour some of the state’s finest art collections in the Art Gallery of NSW, the Museum of Contemporary Art and Brett Whitely Studio.
