The 140-bedroom InterContinental Sydney Double Bay hotel in Australia has opened its doors to guests, boasting a selection of high-end retail offerings on the ground floor and an upcoming Trumps Spa.

Developer and owner Royal Hotels Australia and designer Bates Smart Architects transformed the former property into an intimate bayside sanctuary, which InterContinental claims is the only five-star luxury hotel outside of Sydney’s central business district.

The 242sq m (2,605sq ft) Trumps Spa will feature five treatment rooms, a sauna, steamroom and a shower or hairdressing salon. There will also be a spray tan room, while a VIP room will be on offer for guests seeking extra privacy.

The opening date for this facility has not yet been confirmed. Manel Daetz is the spa’s consulting designer from architecture firm Henry Corbett & Co.

Treatments at the spa will include a range of body treatments, massages, facials, waxing, eyelash extensions and makeup application. Full hairdressing services will also be available.

The hotel itself features a number of dining options – including a fully-separate kosher kitchen – a rooftop pool and lounge, private cabanas, a 495-person capacity ballroom and six flexible event spaces. There is also a gin bar, inspired by the rich distilling history of the local area.
