Sofitel Sydney Wentworth unveils $60 million transformation

Sofitel Sydney Wentworth has unveiled the first glimpse into its $60 million AUD update, which is set to launch in October 2024. The transformation includes an extensive refurbishment to enhance the hotel's offering for its guests while retaining its distinctive heritage.

Led by architecture and interior design firm Fender Katsalidis, the refurbishment of the property includes 436 guest rooms and suites that have been reimagined to offer a blend of luxury and comfort, alongside the redesign of public spaces and the grand entrance lobby. New features of the hotel will include the Health and Wellness Studio designed with a fully equipped gym, and an exclusive club lounge for existing members and day pass holders to relax, entertain and work.

The hotel is re-inventing hotel dining with the introduction of its dining precinct, featuring two restaurants and two bars. Guests can get a taste of the best of Australian flame-cooked seafood at Tilda restaurant, while those looking for something more elegant can enjoy the French-Vietnamese restaurant, Delta Rue. The hotel's Wentworth Ballroom will also benefit from major updates as part of the renovation.

Sam Panetta, General Manager, Sofitel Sydney Wentworth, stated, "We are excited to reignite and add layers to the history of this landmark hotel. The repositioning of the Sofitel will enhance the luxury services on offer and reinforce the value of the brand."
