With the addition of Oncore restaurant by celebrity chef Clare Smyth, the Crown Sydney promises more than just a luxurious stay
In the sun-drenched city of Sydney, where sparkling waters kiss the skyline, the Crown Sydney stands as a monument of luxury, both as a beacon and a backdrop to the natural beauty that surrounds it. Designed by the award-winning British architectural firm Wilkinson Eyre, the hotel’s sculptural form rises like three intertwined petals reaching for the heavens—an audacious architectural statement, and an artful homage to the harbour’s iconic sails.
Nestled in Barangaroo, one of the city’s most dynamic districts, the Crown Sydney not only frames the breathtaking views of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House but becomes part of that glittering vista, a landmark that embodies a new era of elegance.

For connoisseurs of fine food, Oncore by Clare Smyth promises an experience of sublime gastronomy. The only Australian outpost of the lauded chef, Oncore offers an elevated take on modern British cuisine. With an emphasis on fresh, locally sourced ingredients, Smyth’s culinary vision is as breathtaking as the views of the harbour you’ll enjoy at the restaurant. “Australia has some of the world’s most extraordinary produce and food culture. The energy here is incredibly dynamic,” says the first woman to ever helm a three Michelin-star establishment in the UK. Having worked with Alain Ducasse and Gordon Ramsay, Smyth is creating culinary history of her own in Sydney with her spirited use of Australian harvest. “One of my favourite spices to work here at Oncore is Tasmanian saffron and don’t get me started on Australian truffles from Manjimup!”
For those seeking more options, Crown Sydney also offers a constellation of world-class dining establishments, including Woodcut for flame-grilled steak, A’Mare for hearty Italian fare, Nobu for fresh seafood, and Epicurean to start your days right with a wholesome breakfast.

Sunsets are sacred at Crown Sydney. And the best place to take in the golden hour over a delicious and deceptively strong cocktail is at Cirq Bar & Lounge. Arrive early, of course, to secure a prime spot al fresco and rest your legs after a day of sightseeing before you adjourn to dinner. Order the White Rabbit and sip slowly. Here, perched atop the hotel, the golden hues of the sinking sun transform the skyline into a living canvas as you nurse your rum-forward liqueur. Pair it with the empanadas, a winning combination of duck, mushrooms, and truffle. The atmosphere is intoxicating, a sophisticated symphony of deep house music from the live DJ and hushed conversation, so allow yourself to be swept away in the moment. It is the perfect place to be to sip, savour, and be seen.
