Ivy

The verdict

Part hotel, part restaurant group, part amusement park, part shopping centre, The Ivy brings together the best Sydney has to offer under one roof (and umbrellas, in the case of the rooftop pool). You'll find movie stars, rock stars, CBD office types and tourists alike on any given day or night. Stop in to Ash Street Cellar for a morning espresso, visit the Pool Club for a dip in the sunshine, dine at authentic Italian restaurant Uccello and, if the mood strikes you, book a room (or the penthouse) and stay the night.
