Barangaroo Casino Building Height
Packer plays high for hotel at Barangaroo October 24, 2012 - 11:49PM Sean Nicholls JAMES PACKER is pushing to alter building height limits at Barangaroo to add up to 20 storeys to his planned $1 billion hotel and casino complex and make it one of Sydney’s tallest towers. In a proposal sent to Crown and Lendlease, the BDA says the revised proposal concentrates the tallest building height in the southern part of the site, with one tower block and low-rise buildings.

Lapping up a life of luxury, including your own spa-pool and even a 24-hour butler service, a stay at the new Crown Towers in Sydney’s Barangaroo precinct is looking to live up to every cent of its $2.2 billion price tag.
Set to open three months early, Sydney’s first six-star hotel will officially stand at 275 metres high and overlook Sydney Harbour. The structure – which will feature 349 guest rooms in total including 327 rooms, 20 villas and two premium villas – will be the city’s second-tallest building behind the Sydney Tower.

But while the exterior will have passer-bys in awe, it’s what’s going on inside that matters.
The interiors, which have been designed by world-renowned design firm, Meyer Davis, who has combined “coastal hues inspired by the harbourside location” with the ultimate luxury.
Because of the shape of the building, which has a slight twist as it soars in to the sky above – it will mean each room will look a little different.

“Every guest will have a completely unique experience that cannot be found anywhere else,” said Will Meyer, Co-Founder of Meyer Davis. “Nearly every element has been custom designed to create the most ambient experience possible.

“Our main focus when designing the hotel rooms for Crown Sydney was to emphasise the curvaceous, sensual shape of the building and to enhance the guest’s experience. Our colour palette was silver, white, and grey highlighted by brass, polished black and nickel.”
Inside of the 349 rooms – no single view will be the same either, with each featuring floor to ceilings views across the harbour.

Each room will also feature touchscreen technology, which will be hooked up to the 24 hour in-room dining and concierge services. In other words, you won’t need to leave your bed.
Venturing in to the hotel reception, a real standout will be a blown glass chandelier that is close to eight metres long that will cascade in the middle of the lobby staircase from level one to level four. Oh, and if you’re a sucker for interior finishes – there will be 50 different types of stone and marble sourced from Italy, Greece, Turkey and China dotted throughout the $2.2 billion structure.

The hotel, which is said to create a new benchmark in Australian hotel offerings, will also feature a private gym and open-air tennis court, as well as premium gaming areas and a restaurant on the 24th floor of the tower which will be run by Michelin-star chef and head caterer for Meghan and Harry’s wedding, Clare Smyth.
Smyth, who was named the world’s best female chef in 2018 by the World’s 50 Best Restaurants committee, is yet to announce the name of her new venture – but it’s tipped to bring a mix of local, sustainable and seasonal produce to the venue.
