You don't have to travel far to experience the best luxury stays in Sydney, even one right on the beachfront. Having welcomed its first guests in December, the InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach's landmark reveal offers an indulgent 198-room stay less than ten kilometres from the CBD. However, the hotel is now ready to unveil its final sunlit sanctuary, featuring an ocean-facing infinity pool and terrace, now open to guests.

Perched right above the coastline, the launch of this centrepiece pool deck will undoubtedly elevate your stay. Featuring sweeping ocean views, the water is heated all year round, so you won't have a problem diving in even when Coogee gets a little nippy in the wintertime. Meanwhile, surrounding private cabanas, sun lounges and softly layered seating invite guests to take a dip, then linger as long as they please.

What's more, you can spend hours comfortably enjoying the pool and terrace thanks to adjustable screening and pergola elements that filter the light. Helping to keep guests cool when temperatures soar, carefully considered plantings include canopy palms, coastal grasses and native species that bring spurts of greenery to the pool deck and contrast with its whitewashed hues and tactile textures.

When you need a break from the sun, an adjoining poolside dining offering is made for beachside bliss. Featuring a light menu stacked with inviting options, crispy beer-battered fish burgers and Morton Bay bug rolls are served alongside a lineup of nourishing bowls, including a tuna dish featuring sashimi-grade fish, brown rice, avocado and more. For a larger feed, head to Shutters or Rick Stein at Coogee to discover the renowned British chef's produce-driven seafood cuisine.

"These new experiences reflect our vision to create a refined yet relaxed coastal retreat where guests can connect with Coogee's natural beauty while enjoying a truly elevated stay," says Melinda Lampier, General Manager of InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach. "From the year-round heated pool to the ocean-facing terrace, we have designed spaces that invite both locals and international visitors to linger, unwind and experience the rhythm of the coastline." 

While the arrival of the infinity pool and terrace is big news for the hotel, there are still more exciting updates just around the corner. In May, the Èliva Spa will open, featuring magnesium pools, salt saunas, a crystal steam room and tailored restorative treatments. In addition, Club InterContinental will bring a discreet escape to the property, offering private luxury lounge access and a members-only open-air terrace. Oh, and some pickleball courts will get you warmed up before heading to the pool.

InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach is located at 242 Arden St, Coogee. Head to the website for more information.
