Sofitel Sydney Wentworth has completed a $70 million refurbishment, setting a new standard for luxury accommodation with business travellers in mind.

Originally opened as Australia’s first international 5-star hotel, the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth’s renovation offers a blend of timeless elegance and cutting-edge convenience, perfect for modern business professionals seeking comfort, efficiency, and sophistication. Managed by Accor under the prestigious Sofitel brand, the hotel’s extensive upgrades are set for completion in November 2024, promising an enhanced stay for corporate guests. Central to the refurbishment is a focus on modernising the hotel’s renowned 1960s jet-set glamour while integrating state-of-the-art technology and conveniences that business travellers demand.

The renovation includes all 436 guest rooms and suites, each designed with a blend of nostalgic elegance and contemporary comfort. Curving gracefully around an elevated terrace, the rooms feature MySmart lighting, a Nespresso machine, and bespoke French Balmain amenities, ensuring guests can relax after a day of meetings. A signature Sofitel MyBed and a pillow menu add to the luxurious stay, while a Wellness Bag with fitness equipment allows guests to maintain their routines whether in-room or at nearby landmarks like the Botanic Gardens.

Business travellers will appreciate the hotel’s innovative tech-forward services, including interactive stations for streamlined check-ins and an online concierge app that puts every service at their fingertips, ensuring a seamless stay. For those with busy schedules, Sofitel’s in-room dining, curated by Sydney’s House Made Hospitality, offers a refined dining experience with gourmet options delivered directly to the room.

The hotel also boasts one of the city’s largest event spaces, the iconic Wentworth Ballroom, which has been reimagined for the digital age. New LED screens, cutting-edge lighting, and upgraded staging technology make it the perfect venue for conferences, product launches, and large-scale business events. For more intimate meetings, Sofitel Sydney Wentworth offers over 15 flexible conference and event spaces, equipped with the latest technology to support business functions of any size.

For executives seeking privacy, the exclusive Sofitel Club Millésime offers a tranquil lounge environment with full business and concierge facilities. Guests can enjoy all-day refreshments, from breakfast to evening drinks, or use the space for work and networking in a luxurious, stress-free setting.
