recommends his
favourite places to
dine, host, stay and
explore in Sydney.
Brimming with gourmet produce,
Cafe Opera’s buffet is most famous for
its indulgent, fresh seafood sourced
locally each day from Sydney Fish
Markets. Perfect for an informal and
leisurely lunch or dinner, this is one
of the unique Sydney spots where
you’re encouraged to gaze, graze and
repeat. You’ll have to leave room for
the dessert bar, dressed head-to-toe in
cakes, slices, and other pastries. Our thanks to Mark and InterContinental Sydney
www.icsydney.com.au With a rich heritage dating back
to 1851, this iconic space exudes
unparalleled grandeur with its historic
sandstone private staircase entrance,
dramatic marble foyer and golden
arches. A stunning choice for delegate
meetings and large celebrations, the
Treasury Room can host up to 120
seated or 200 for a cocktail function.
For an event that will make a lasting
impression, this incredible room is one
of Sydney’s most desirable venues.

Perfectly nestled in Sydney’s thriving
CBD, InterContinental Sydney is the
ultimate home-away-from-home for
executive travellers. Set within the
heritage-listed 19th century Treasury
Building, the hotel takes luxury to new
heights. With an award-winning Club
InterContinental executive lounge
on the 31st floor, onsite parking, and
expansive suites overlooking the
harbour, it offers the ideal blend of
business and leisure. The Sydney dining scene is constantly
changing and evolving - particularly as
the shift away from formal fine dining
continues. Despite the change, one
restaurant is consistently at the top of
my list for every foodie who comes past
my desk: Quay. With inspired dishes
such as Maremma duck, radicchio,
black garlic & aged mirin, Fink Group
and Chef Peter Gilmore continue to
provide an amazing culinary experience
at Quay as they have for many years. Boasting approximately 300km of
bays and inlets, the magic of Sydney
is often best experienced from the
water. For an extravagant day on the
harbour entertaining clients or business
partners, charter your own private
superyacht and visit the city’s hidden
gems, such as Milk Beach or Store
Beach. If you’re after a truly authentic
Sydney experience, nothing beats
taking a ferry from Circular Quay past
North Head to Manly.
