A by Adina Sydney

A by Adina Sydney - designed by JPW Architects, with interiors by Carr Design Group - has raised the bar on hotel check ins with the introduction of Australia’s first hotel sky lobby, perched atop the prestigious 2 Hunter Street address.

Guests have the option to then enjoy the piano and lounge bar on the mezzanine above the lobby all co-located, along with a swimming pool and fully equipped gym with knockout views, within the 4 storey ‘golden crown’ enveloped in the city skyline.

What’s more, the hotel’s lower-ground entry foyer has its own surprise in store as the home of a new laneway restaurant concept, boasting indoor and outdoor dining.

“TFE has partnered with some of the best bar and restaurant operators in the country – Vince Lombardo, Stefano Cantino and Andrea Gualdi of Maybe Sammy fame - to develop the dining and bar concepts for level 22 and the laneway,” she said.

“You enter the hotel from the noise of the city through a sandstone colonnade flanked by a calming water feature, arriving at a peaceful and reflective lift lobby to take you to the crown” TFE Hotels’ Director of Marketing Katia Giurtalis said. “To me, it feels like you’re submerging into a quiet, calm space, taking you out of the hustle and bustle – a bit like a sensory cleanse – before you get into the lift and go up to the sky lobby for our ‘arrival’ moment.”

In a first for TFE Hotels, A by Adina heroes an integrated control system that seamlessly readies any one of its 194 apartments (82 studio, 104 one-bedroom, eight two-bedroom apartments) the moment guests commence check in.

“A bit like a high-tech butler, it goes to work and prepares the room by switching on the air conditioner and setting a comfortable room temperature, before closing the blinds and setting all the lights,” explained Katia.
