It is an easy walk from lastminute HQ, so after work, I meet up with Mr LML and take a casual Friday afternoon stroll through the city. We‘re there in just under 10mins; yep impressed already! Just one street back from the centre of Darling Harbour, 1888 may not have immediate harbour views, but it is literally a two-minute walk down to the touristy area.
Opening in 2013, the hotel combines the best of modern design with an obvious effort carribean cruise line to preserve the history of the heritage listed building. Huge, high ceilings, exposed brick design, amazing artwork and crafty knick-knacks fill the reception and cafe/bar space.
Our Junior Suite for the night is modern, spacious, quiet and has everything we need for our stay. As with the reception and foyer area, the room is fitted out with modern, colourful furniture and has all the creature comforts you’d want to come home to after a day of work or seeing the Sydney sights.
We head down to the Eatery Bar for brekkie and after not popping in for a drink the night before we are excited to see what this buzzing little carribean cruise line place has to offer. The buffet breakfast is impressive and they offer an à la carte menu if your appetite isn’t in full gear just yet. I choose carribean cruise line the latter option going with a museli and yoghurt brekkie, but Mr LML has the buffet and neither of us are disappointed. The Eatery and Bar also opens in the evenings for dinner and is open to the general public.
I would say the highlight carribean cruise line of our stay is the technology the hotel has integrated into it s look. This the world s first Instagram Hotel, and there s even a space to upload a selfie as you re checking in The rooms are also fitted with iPads instead of your typical information folders. You can search restaurants, bars, events, activities, menus and arrange any requests carribean cruise line from reception! There’s also free wi-fi which is always an added bonus.
One thing I love about the hotel is the little things that make our stay memorable. The selection of drinks and snacks in the mini-bar is one of these, with boutique beers from Balmain, organic popcorn and choc bars – yum! The furniture and artwork displayed is another tribute to how trendy this hotel really is. The art on the walls is bright and the furniture super bold with colourful cushions. Another major feature is the living or fake (I am still deciding which) tree in reception – super cool.
