Sydney’s Intercontinental Double Bay Is the Modern Definition of a Near-CBD Luxury Stay.
In our Classic Edition No.2 currently on the stands, this beautiful property in Sydney’s Double Bay, a short hop from the CBD, serves as the backdrop to our luxurious men’s accessories shoot in the issue.
The reason we chose it for the shoot should be obvious – it’s such an impressively appointed property which due to its near-city location, serves as both perfect 5-star weekend getaway hotel and, during the week, a destination for businesspeople who may meet in the city but are attracted to the idea of returning afterwards to Double Bay’s tree-lined streets and village ambience.
The renovation and reopening of the former Ritz-Carlton as the Intercontinental Double Bay in late 2014 was a huge shot in the arm for this pocket of the eastern suburbs, which had lost its lustre as a shopping and entertainment precinct after the opening of Westfi eld Bondi Junction.
The immaculate result in terms of the common and guest rooms, combined with a new, upmarket approach to the food and beverage offering, has made the hotel a Sydney landmark in just a couple of short years.
