Heritage Meets Modern Design
The refurbishment of Sofitel Sydney Wentworth reflects a deep appreciation for its iconic past.

The recent renovation, led by the renowned architecture and interior design firm FK, transforms the hotel into a symbol of ‘Modern Heritage.’ This new design ethos harmonizes locally sourced materials and natural colors inspired by the Australian landscape, infused with French sophistication emblematic of the Sofitel brand.
Common areas now feature enhanced lighting and artful spaces, encouraging vibrant social interactions. Known as the ‘Hotel of the Arts,’ Sofitel Sydney Wentworth continues to collaborate with esteemed cultural partners such as the Art Gallery of New South Wales and Opera Australia, reinforcing its status as a cultural touchstone.

Each space is equipped with advanced MySmart lighting systems to create tailored atmospheres, and the Sofitel MyBed™ experience ensures unmatched comfort.

The Wentworth Suite, historically occupied by Princess Diana, is among the exclusive offerings awaiting its debut.
