Designed by Woods Bagot, the extensive refurbishment repositions the InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach hotel for today’s modern traveller, combining relaxed sophistication with a stronger connection to its oceanfront setting.
The transformation includes 198 guestrooms and suites, many featuring expansive ocean views, floor-to-ceiling glazing and wraparound balconies that immerse guests in the changing light and atmosphere of the coastline. Soft textures, curved detailing and layered materials create interiors that feel both elevated and deeply connected to place.
Within guestrooms and suites, bespoke 80/20 Axminster carpet introduces warmth, softness and understated luxury underfoot, complementing the calm coastal palette and fluid architectural detailing throughout the interiors. Axminster was also selected for the corridors, where its durability and long-term performance make it particularly suited to high traffic hospitality environments while maintaining a refined residential feel.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Hotel Designs.
