Shangri-La Hotel Sydney has opened its new hotel club lounge for guests, making it Australia’s largest five-star lounge.

A total of 90 newly refurbished rooms and suites on the top levels have also reopened, including two additional rooms – the Grand Harbour View and a Darling Harbour View room.

The iconic property added the finishing touches to its $8 million revamp, with the Horizon Club Lounge stretching 335 square metres, with views of the harbour from its prime spot in The Rocks.

The lounge’s expanded dining area can accommodate 123 guests, with an extra 47 seats, as well as one of Sydney’s only communal tables in a five-star hotel club lounge.

Other features include an upgraded boardroom and facilities, seating 10 people will full AV equipment, sound system, wifi and giant screens.

Guests booking Horizon Club accommodation will also be privy to exclusive privileges, including coffee, signature cocktails, desserts by executive pastry chef Anna Polyviou, private check-in on Level 30, buffet breakfasts, and a range of other complimentary specials.

“The Horizon Club lounge is an extraordinary design achievement which provides a delightful space for guests to enjoy our stellar food and beverage offerings and the Shangri-La service we are known for,” Sydney’s vice president and general manager Michael Cottan said.

“It also cleverly connects the interiors of this beautifully designed space with the extraordinary views of Sydney.”

These new refurbishments arrive just in time for the festive season, with the hotel also giving guests plenty of ways to celebrate Christmas.

The talented pastry team have unveiled a giant gingerbread house in the Lobby Lounge, with visitors able to buy take-home Christmas puddings and festive sweets.

The Altitude Restaurant has a range of specials for those wishing to celebrate the holidays on the 36th floor, as well as a dinner and drinks package available for New Year’s Eve.
