Sofitel Sydney Wentworth Reopens Following Extensive Refurbishment

The iconic Sofitel Sydney Wentworth has reopened in Sydney, Australia, marking a new chapter in French-inspired luxury within the bustling heart of the city’s central business district.

Originally established in 1966, this 5-star hotel has been meticulously refurbished by architecture and design firm FK, reviving its legacy while modernizing it for contemporary guests.

With 436 rooms and suites, the revitalised Sofitel Sydney Wentworth is poised to welcome both locals and international travelers alike. Situated near major landmarks like the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, and premier shopping districts, it offers both convenience and elegance at a prime location.

The renovation celebrates the hotel’s heritage, blending the essence of Australia’s natural landscape with Sofitel’s signature French zest.

The hotel seeks to pay tribute to its post-war minimalist origins and timeless appeal through a carefully curated natural palette and locally sourced materials. Known for its arts contributions, Sofitel Sydney Wentworth continues its partnerships with prestigious cultural institutions, including the Art Gallery of New South Wales and Opera Australia, cementing its reputation as a cultural touchstone.

The guest experience has also been elevated, with each room featuring MySmart lighting and the luxurious Sofitel MyBed, ensuring a restful and personalised experience.

The Wentworth Suite, once graced by Princess Diana, will soon reopen, joining a legacy of distinguished guests such as Neil Armstrong, Audrey Hepburn, and Queen Elizabeth II.

The culinary experience at Sofitel Sydney Wentworth has been transformed with the help of Sydney’s House Made Hospitality group, which has introduced four distinct dining venues. These include tilda, offering a relaxed yet refined Australian ambiance; Delta Rue, a fusion of Vietnamese and French cuisines; Bar tilda, where guests can enjoy classic cocktails and jazz; and Wentworth Bar, a rooftop retreat with all-weather seating.

The hotel’s exclusive Sofitel Club Millésime provides a tranquil lounge space for members and Accor Platinum guests, complete with business services, dining options, and a refined check-in experience. Business travelers can also take advantage of the Wentworth’s 15 event spaces, notably the grand Wentworth Ballroom, one of Sydney’s largest and most storied venues.
