Trademark Hotel

The look: A glamorous fusion of contemporary Euro and retro Californian style with a sweeping Italian marble staircase. The Lounge Bar has an intriguing feature wall of rustic wooden blocks. The intimate Piano Room delivers a retro space age vibe.
The soundtrack: Tunes in the Lounge Bar range from upbeat club dance to electro funk. The Piano Room features a live piano player during cocktail hours followed by laid back jazz beats.
Signature drink: The zesty ‘Rat Pack Martini’ is shaken, not stirred, with Ciroc vodka and Dom Benedictine, $14.
The bar snacks: The Lounge Bar’s ‘tapas’ menu has a selection of dishes designed to eat with your fingers. Perfect for a ‘just peckish’ appetite.
Best for: After work drinks with the chic corporate crowd, then hangin’ with Sydney’s young elite. Ksubi, Giorgio Armani and Lionel Richie have enjoyed VIP room soirees.
Wow factor: The spectacular light feature with its honeycomb of mismatching bulbous shapes lends an intimate cocoon effect you’ll adore.
If this bar were an animal it would be: A rare two-headed snake … sleek yet surprisingly funny.
