Australia: Crown Group Holdings will open SKYE Suites Sydney next month.
Located in the city’s CBD, SKYE Suites Sydney is a 25-storey tower which will provide 73 serviced apartments including studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom suites. The second phase of the project will see the remaining residential suites, rooftop and retail precinct completed in November 2018.
Apartments feature Delonghi appliances, Vittoria coffee machines, Kevin Murphy toiletries and hair care products, complimentary Wi-Fi, laundry facilities, pre-stocked minibars and a bedding firmness menu. In addition, there will be facilities such as an ice cave-themed lobby and pool, and a gym.
Crown Group‘s director of hotels and suites Wayne Taranto said: “Appealing to domestic and international visitors and business travellers, SKYE Suites Sydney will offer short-term-stay guests a taste of luxury lifestyle in the heart of Sydney’s CBD. The location of SKYE Suites Sydney is within easy walking distance to the International Convention Centre, Darling Square, Barangaroo precinct and transport that connects to the rest of the city.”
Designed by Koichi Takada, the building will feature an illuminated sculpture stretching 12 metres across the atrium, comprised of a steel frame, stainless wires and thousands of LED lights. The artwork will shift its palette of colour and movement in lights according to the sound and movement of people beneath it.
Crown Group’s chairman and CEO Iwan Sunito said: “We are incredibly excited to open our doors to SKYE Suites Sydney after such success in Parramatta. This architectural masterpiece in the city’s CBD will not only form a striking addition to Sydney’s skyline but will also enhance the existing streetscape for domestic and international guests and ‘Sydneysiders’.”
The introduction of SKYE Suites Sydney comes after Crown Group’s move into the luxury hotel sector with SKYE Hotels Suites Parramatta, which opened in August 2017.
