W Sydney

Only marginally less recognizable than Sydney’s opera house, the W Sydney stands like a rounded shark fin above Darling Harbour — a piece of architecture that lives up to W’s reputation as a visually adventurous hospitality concern. The interiors are colourful even by W standards, and this hotel succeeds where others fail at capturing the brand’s sense of retro-tinged futurism. The unusual form of the structure dictates some unusual choices, including unexpected curves in the room layouts. BTWN, the restaurant, is named for the hotel’s unusual position between two elevated motorways; the top-floor infinity pool takes in one of Sydney’s most dramatic views.

The team at Hadi Hospitality produced the custom furniture for the restaurant and public areas and the joinery and furniture for the hotel’s studios. We even created those signature sharks that feature in each of the hotels guest rooms.
