The Langham Sydney

It is one of those familiar addresses that one seems to return to after having left it only yesterday, with an indefinable sense of immediate intimacy. The common areas, in pale tones and a soft chromatic palette, display works by local artists selected by Sotheby's, such as Sir Sidney Nolan or the contemporary Sally Ross. The ninety-six keys have a residential feel, favouring spareness and the meticulous care with which materials and textiles come together in everyday living. As a crowning note, reinventing the paradigm of the urban haven, the Observatory Suite offers residents an ideal space in which to invite guests to contemplate the skyline. The restaurant The James cultivates a certain British spirit, evoking London's festive institutions, with hedonistic dishes rooted in the soil. A serene sanctuary, the spa offers treatments inspired by the philosophy of Chinese medicine, built around the five elements, for a holistic approach.
