The view from my room
THE BUZZ Sydney’s hotel scene has been coasting along on autopilot for most of this decade, so it was welcome news when the Four Seasons revamped last year. With 531 rooms and suites, this is by far the largest property (originally a Regent) in the brand’s global portfolio, making it feel less intimate than a typical Four Seasons. But that’s OK. There’s a brilliant new sparkle in the lobby thanks to seven massive Le Labo Bubble chandeliers from Paris. And if you really want intimacy, the new spa is tiny but decadent.
It's summertime in Australia, and the food scene is hot. Here are my four favorite restaurants in Sydney.
Kable's: Pork belly w escargot ravioli; chef Jeffrey De Rome; John Dory; creme caramel
Kable’s
THE BUZZ Chef Jeffrey De Rome came up through the ranks of Neil Perry’s world-renowned Rockpool just down the street and has quickly established himself as one of Sydney’s brightest young talents. Perched on the second floor of the Four Seasons Hotel, the restaurant is an oasis of calm overlooking the bustle of George Street at the base of the Harbour Bridge.
