PHOTOS: Check out the $30m transformation of Manly Pacific

Manly Pacific – MGallery has emerged from two years of rejuvenation to reveal its $30m transformation.

The transformation features a new façade, 213 redesigned rooms, including The Infinity Residence and nine ocean-facing Coastal Suites, a rooftop pool and bar, a sundeck with an infrared sauna, 55 North – an eclectic new lobby bar, and a conference and events floor.

The Redesign

Across each of its eight floors, the hotel has been reimagined by Australian designers Coco Republic. The palette is soft and neutral with tactile organic textures and furnishings, pale bleached woods, and travertine stone accents that mirror the sand.

The hotel is signified by its spacious hallways, a signature fragrance derived from Australian botanicals local to the North Head and the sounds of waves reaching the shoreline each morning.

The Infinity Residence

The Infinity Residence at Manly Pacific is the 177 sqm 1-bedroom suite features underfloor heating, a fireplace, a kitchenette, an ensuite with a black freestanding stone bathtub, and a living and dining room opening up to a vast 100 sqm private terrace with commanding views of the ocean.

Guests are welcomed with a beach towel personalised with their initials, customised pillows, fine linens, flowers, LaGaia beauty products and their very own personal Beach Butler, on call throughout their stay.

Coastal Suites

Nine ocean-facing, two-bedroom, two-bathroom Coastal Suites have refreshed in the transformation. The suites feature a Peloton bike (upon request), Peloton classes, a yoga mat, resistance band and yoga block, Leif skincare, LaGaia facemasks, and the option between a motivational or calming playlist with Bluetooth speakers.

Every room features fresh foliage, natural stone bathrooms, quality bed linens and a nightly turn-down services. The accommodation features separate entertaining, living and dining areas, balconies or terraces, and features every element of laid-back luxury. For anyone that struggles to disconnect at night, there’s even a service to take away their phones at 8pm. There are also 12 Sun Lounger one-bedroom, one-bathroom rooms available, which feature ocean views and deck chairs on a private 100sqm terrace.

Food & Dining

A new bar sits adjoining to the lobby, named 55 North in honour of its stellar address and shoreside locale and is inspired by the local spirit of the Northern Beaches, with the cocktail menu includes a twist on the classics, featuring the best of the region, and beyond.

In addition, guests can tempt their taste buds at two restaurants with Japanese fusion from Tokyo Joe, and a refreshed French coastal menu from the award-winning Bistro Manly by executive chef Ryan Dawson.

For those that prefer to perch above it all, a new sun-soaked nook for dining with ambient rooftop tunes sits beside the rooftop pool, offering guests lavish Black Pearl Siberian Caviar, Southern Rock Lobster, champagne and a range of fresh seafood nibbles and local libations. With this, the brand-new rooftop pool and sundeck overlooking one of Australia’s most famous beaches is sure to become one of the most sought-after locations in New South Wales.

Health & Wellness

Just next to the rooftop pool and sundeck, guests can also book the rooftop infrared sauna through the hotel’s concierge service or “Beach Club”. The Beach Club team can also create personalised wellness experiences and packages, from surfing lessons, kayaking, boot camps, beach yoga, facials, massages and cryotherapy.

Guests are also welcome to use the 24/7 facilities at the adjoining Manly Beach Health Club or instead embark on an exploration of coastal discovery at neighbouring beach gems, such as Shelly Beach.

Community Centred

Manly Pacific has joined Accor’s MGallery Hotel Collection, with more than 100 boutique hotels worldwide, each with a distinctive local story to tell. A strong local spirit inspires every touchpoint throughout the hotel, with the hotel’s iconic object being a custom surfboard cultivated by Denny Keogh of Keyo International.

Encouraging guests to connect with the surrounding community, Manly Pacific wants all visitors, local and abroad, to discover what Manly and the Northern Beaches have to offer, from its rich surfing history to its thriving local arts scene and boutique shopping.

“We’re showcasing Manly’s creative community throughout the hotel, from displaying the works of local photographers to heroising local produce on our plates and featuring artisan craft pieces throughout the property,” general manager Dylan Cole said.

“At every touch point, we’ve considered the extra level of detail guests now expect from a great hotel experience, with a key focus on sustainability initiatives, such as smarter energy-saving room controls to electric car charging stations. We’ve brought a new level of sophistication to Manly without losing the quintessential way of life of the Northern Beaches, from its laid-back lifestyle and strong connection to the sea and wellbeing.”
