Crone’s concept provides a sophisticated and iconic design for the existing hotel site that is nestled among designer boutiques, galleries and exclusive beaches.

At street level, guests are drawn in via a sculpted stair connecting to an enclave of dining and bar experiences above. The breathable facade creates a seamless connection between interior and exterior, allowing the first level activity to be seen and heard from the street below. A soft contemporary addition to the upper level of the building reflects the prominence of the Double Bay address.

The increased elevation creates a privileged viewing platform with an exclusive poolside experience for guests and visitors alike. Expansive vistas across the harbourside suburb are coupled with a pared-back materiality, elegance and sophistication to imbue the sense of untouchable luxury.
