The Horizon Club Lounge on Level 30 is now more

via 13 metre-high windows spanning four storeys.
The 36-floor building has unobstructed views of
Sydney’s two most iconic landmarks, the Harbour Bridge and the
Opera House, from its prime position in bustling heritage listed
area The Rocks.
The 90 Horizon Club rooms and suites on the
hotel’s six highest accommodation levels recently reopened, with
two new larger rooms created after the removal of one suite. There
is now an additional Grand Harbour View room and a Darling Harbour
View room plus an upgraded disability accessible room.
Each premium room has cushioned window
seats, a mini-bar, timber dresser with chair and an executive desk
with built-in multi-plug international sockets, plus espresso
machine, iHome dock, Bluetooth media hub and complimentary WiFi
internet access. Bathrooms have a marble bath and separate shower
and new vanities with illuminated mirrors.
The 90 newly refurbished rooms and suites are among the
biggest in the city, ranging from 40 to 60 square metres and
suites from 83 square metres.
The Royal Suite offers the hotel's
most luxurious and impressive accommodation and personal service.
At 242 square metres, it has the hotel’s biggest bedroom, a double
lounge room, executive study room and dining room with seating for
ten next to a kitchenette. Its newly refreshed soft furnishings
mean the guest’s hotel experience has been elevated to a new level
of luxury.
The Presidential Suite commands the highest
position of any suite in the hotel and has 170 square metres of
living space, with one bedroom, separate sitting room, kitchenette
and dining room and a refreshed décor with new carpets and
upholstery.
The club lounge’s expanded dining area now
accommodates 123 guests, with an additional 47 seats, and features
one of Sydney’s only communal tables in a hotel club lounge – a
four-metre-long marble-topped solid timber centrepiece with a cold
well from which guests can help themselves to premium Australian
wines and sparkling wines.
Upgraded boardroom facilities in
the club lounge seat ten people and now take in harbour views and
offer full AV equipment, including a sophisticated sound system

induction cooktops and scene-setting lighting systems - all of
which were designed for energy-efficiency, and easier, faster
operation for the client.
“The
Horizon Club Lounge is an extraordinary design achievement which
provides a delightful space for guests to enjoy our stellar food
and beverage offering and the Shangri La service we are known for”
said Shangri-La Hotel, Sydney’s
vice president and general manager, Michael Cottan. “It also cleverly connects the interiors of this
beautifully designed space with the extraordinary views of Sydney.
It really transports our guests to a place of enjoyment and
relaxation during their stay.”
