Crown Group is set to open the doors to its third luxury serviced apartment hotel, Sydney’s SKYE Suites Green Square, in early 2020.
The hotel’s first guests will enjoy a luxurious escape only minutes from the city, with 90 luxurious studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments with plush interiors in rich hues. Each has Kevin Murphy toiletries and complimentary mini-bar for those who book directly via the hotel website. A mattress menu offers guests the ability to choose individual firmness on each side of the bed, while rooms also feature keyless entry, virtual concierge iPads, and a STAYCAST system that will enable guests to stream in-room entertainment from their phones or laptops.
The hotel forms part of the eye-catching AU$575 million (US$395 million) Infinity by Crown Group development on the corner of Bourke Street and Botany Road. It comprises 326 luxury residential apartments, set above a 1,180sqm central landscaped plaza, which offers guests a new lifestyle precinct with 18 stores and outlets. There will be great coffee and fresh breakfast bowls from Social Society, colourful bubble teas at Gong Cha and an exciting new dining concept called Butcher and the Farmer Marketplace.
The striking 20-storey building, with its unique looped shape, is designed by the visionary Koichi Takada Architects and forms a gateway to Sydney’s Green Square precinct, which is undergoing a AU$13 (US$ billion transformation that will also soon add a new metro station at nearby Waterloo and an aquatic centre and public park. Business travellers will also enjoy direct access to Green Square train station, being just one stop from the city, and only two stops from Sydney airport.
The hotel’s interiors have been created by interior design firm, CHADA, which has been dazzling the world with designs for world-class luxury hotels and resorts for more than twenty years, including Hilton Auckland, Tasmania’s Saffire Freycinet, the new Intercontinental Dhaka. The hotel has a mix of rich textured furnishings in a palette of navy, indigo, charcoal and oatmeal with accents of polished brass and hammered metal chrome lampshades. Philip Jeffries signature wallpapers add to the mood with clouds and golden lily motifs.
“The new hotel at Green Square is an exciting venue that will display all the characteristics SKYE Suites is renowned for – each is situated in a jaw-dropping new building with iconic architectural design and each has sophisticated interiors and delivers bespoke service with attention to detail from our excellent teams,” says Crown Group general manager of Hotels, Benjamin Nesbitt. “There is also a sense of being immersed in a place that offers a luxurious escape from city life yet is on the doorstep to an exciting precinct packed with dining offerings and convenient transport options.
