Sydney is renowned for its relaxed lifestyle and nowhere is this more true than at The Observatory Hotel. What could be more relaxing than a visit to The Day Spa at The Observatory Hotel, with a wide choice of luxurious face and body treatments, ancient therapies and a flight reviver program to help our international guests readjust to the new time zone.

The hotel's 20-metre heated pool, mirrored by a ceiling of fibre optic lights designed to recreate the constellations of the southern hemisphere, beckons invitingly. For the more energetic, work out in the fully equipped gymnasium, or enjoy a game of tennis, which can be easily arranged at our court opposite the front door.

Spacious, elegant, beautifully appointed, the rooms and suites at The Observatory Hotel are designed to meet the needs of the most fastidious guest.

Each room has detachable hairdryers, CD and video players (a wide selection of CDs is available from the CD Library), international news service and movies on demand, as well as fax/modem facilities, voice mail and four telephones.
