Work, rest or play, Hilton Sydney, right in the heart of the city with magnificent views and convenient access to the city’s favourite destinations, offers a truly inspired experience.

Few restaurants can match the inspired elegance of Glass’ brasserie, but then few enjoy Glass’ unique pedigree. Between them celebrated designer Tony Chi, highly awarded local restaurateur Luke Mangan and Dr Ron Georgiou have created the definitive Sydney brasserie experience.

Built in 1893 and preserved in all its opulent glory throughout Hilton Sydney’s extensive renovations, the Marble bar is a haven of Victorian excess, one of Sydney city’s few remaining live music venues, and a great place to enjoy an Aussie ale, a fine wine or a classic cocktail.

Host City

Sydney

Sydney, Australia's gateway city and the capital of New South Wales is built around one of the largest, most beautiful harbours in the world and along miles of golden surfing beaches which stretch north and south of the city on the shore of the Pacific Ocean.

The beaches and harbour play a major role in the leisure and sporting lives of Sydneysiders - yachting, surfing, sail boarding, swimming, boating, fishing and waterskiing are all popular activities.

Many national parks and protected areas of natural bushland surround the city and the beautiful Blue Mountains are a short journey to the west.

Perhaps the most famous of Sydney's landmarks is the spectacular Sydney Opera House with its graceful 'sails'. The Opera House has become Sydney's cultural centre, offering opera, ballet, drama and film. The historic 'Rocks' area, site of the original white settlement, is nearby, and this part of the harbour foreshore is a hub of activity for both local residents and visitors. The Rocks Markets are a great place for those looking for bargains or souvenirs. Open Saturdays and Sundays, 10am till 5pm.

Other places of interest may include Taronga Zoo, The Australian Museum, The Powerhouse Museum and The National Maritime Museum.

Sydney is a vigorous, cosmopolitan city, a major industrial, business and commercial centre and is endlessly fascinating in its variety and its beauty.
