Indulge in a luxurious escape to the sunny shores of Sydney as Kenneth Goh gives you an insiders guide to the harbour city

URBAN RENEWAL

In a world where we seek to reconnect with nature and indulge in unparalleled luxury, the iconic city of Sydney welcomes us to experience the extraordinary. It's been my home away from home for the past 25 years as my folks live in this stunning water city, where practically everywhere you turn, there's a sight of water and the corresponding clear blue sky. It's a city that's blessed with incredible vistas, some of the freshest seafood, and pretty hot bods if the surfie type is your thing.

This round, I decided to stay at the Hyatt Regency. Nestled at the heart of Darling Harbour, Australia's largest upscale hotel has undergone a remarkable transformation. After a multi-million dollar refurbishment, the hotel now embodies the city's charm, elegance, and timeless connection with the waters that surround it.

My luxurious retreat awaited me in the Sydney Terrace Suite, one of the hotel's most lavish offerings. Boasting 34 square metres of expansive outdoor terrace space with panoramic views of Darling Harbour, this suite was an exquisite blend of sophistication and relaxation. Designed for bespoke entertaining and private dining, it offers a sense of seamless and personalised luxury. Think: a private Regency Concierge who tailors personal itineraries, a private chef to indulge your culinary desires, 24/7 valet parking, and even a private mixologist to concoct the perfect evening tipple. The Sydney Terrace Suite has an expansive balcony, accommodating up to 12 guests for an alfresco soiree or six guests for a sumptuous seated dinner.
