Keith Urban’s Choice in Sydney: The Intercontinental Sydney

June 28, 2006| By:Mary Winston Nicklin

Intercontinental Sydney

The media is abuzz with news of the nuptials between Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. The happy lovebirds have since jetted to the South Pacific on their honeymoon, but fans are no doubt eager for the scoop about the Intercontinental Sydney where Urban shacked up before the ceremony. As one of Sydney's leading five-star hotels, the Intercontinental Sydney overlooks the stunning harbor with panoramic views of the Opera House and Royal Botanical Gardens. Besides its central location, the hotel is distinguished by its majestic sandstone facade, as the hotel is housed in the heritage listed 1851 Treasury Building, a Sydney landmark. In 2005, the Intercontinental completed an AUD$30 million refurbishment with spacious, contemporary rooms and a gorgeous rooftop Club Lounge. I wonder if Urban staked out the Australia Suite, perhaps the best Presidential Suite in Sydney. Located on the 29th floor, the 245 sq-meter suite features an open-air terrace with dining area, living and dining room with grand piano, fully equipped kitchen, and bathroom with shower-steam room and spa bath. This is the height of luxury and indulgence.
