MGallery is fast becomming a name in the hotel world, and last night Accor added the Harbour Rocks Hotel in Sydney`s Rocks district to its rapidly growing upscale MGallery Collection network.
Accor treated guests, including TD to a sumptuous dinner under the stars on the rooftop terrace of the hotel overlooking the Harbour Bridge and Opera House, and even brought in a quartet from the Sydney Symphony Orchestra to play delightful classical music. It`s the fourth MGallery in Australia, joining The Grand and The Como in Melbourne, and the Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains in NSW. A fifth, Melbourne`s Hotel Lindrum will join the brand “Each one of the MGallery Collection is remarkable for its identify; they have a striking personality and a special story to tell,” said David Lowe, Director of Sales & Marketing for Harbour Rocks Hotel. The 125-year old hotel, a former hospital in the Rocks has undergone a $12.2b facelift, its foundations stripped back, exposing original sandstone and brick walls, and even boasts a residence ghost, Eric. Legend has it that Eric was in love with Scarlett, the Madame of the House, but she died before they could marry. Eric`s spirit is said to roam the corridors of the hotel. The spectacular rooftop Penthouse, named the Harbour View Suite which features a spacious bedroom and deluxe bathroom with a large outdoor terrace is perfect for entertaining and for those looking to host an intimate dinner that can be setup on the Terrace, seating up to 20 people, with space for a 3-piece jazz band to boot. “And, for the big spenders, the hotel in its entirety is available for hire from the Penthouse to the 59 guest rooms, guests can have free reign with staff on hand to attend to every whim,” aded Lowe. pic l to r |
