Historically rich, luxuriously appointed and unequalled in its location, the launch of the new Sebel Pier One Suites in Sydney was always going to be a fabulous evening.
May 22nd, 2013
The lavish new rooms and common areas by Bates Smart were revealed over the course of the evening with each luxurious suite boasting unrivalled views and terraces overlooking Sydney Harbour, nestled beneath the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Working respectfully within heritage, budget and time contraints to deliver brand new rooms into a building that was built over 100 years ago, the design team led by Brenton Smith achieved remarkable results.
We’ll be bringing you more on the refurbishment soon!
