Sofitel Sydney Wentworth has unveiled a stylish new look, following a six-month revitalisation project.

Now in its 53rd year of operation, the hotel’s 436 rooms and suites have been given a makeover to offer guests a contemporary stay in the heart of Sydney’s CBD.

The rooms now feature a soft grey colour palette with new upholstered bedheads, artworks, carpets and high-backed fabric armchairs with matching ottomans. Mood lighting and flowing floor-to-ceiling curtains complete the look.

The hotel has also undergone a major technology overhaul, including faster WiFi and IPTV including Chromecast on all guestroom televisions.

General manager Philip Logan said the hotel’s new look embodies modern French style.

“Every Sofitel exudes a refined and understated sense of modern luxury, and this grand old dame is no exception,” he said.

“As one of Sydney’s most history laden hotels, Sofitel Sydney Wentworth resonates in the hearts of so many, giving her a stylish makeover is only fitting, to keep her status as an ambassador of modern French style.”

Guests will also notice the lobby area has had a refresh with the addition of new carpets and furniture.
