Arriving & Getting Around

Your arrival begins on Market Street, where our Concierge team welcomes guests on Ground Level before directing you to Reception on Level 8.

Stepping into the lobby, you’ll be greeted by soaring ceilings, warm hospitality and the striking arches of our signature bar, Arches on Market, creating an immediate sense of arrival. From here, our fleet of newly modernised lifts provides seamless access to every guest room, the Executive Club Lounge, Spa & Sport, and our rooftop pool. This recent upgrade forms part of our ongoing investment in the guest experience, ensuring every journey through the hotel is smooth and effortless.

For guests arriving by car, valet parking is available. Those travelling by public transport will find both Town Hall and Martin Place Stations just a short walk away, providing convenient connections throughout Sydney.

Dining & Drinks

Ten Stories Restaurant

Ten Stories is our signature restaurant, celebrating contemporary Australian cuisine through seasonal ingredients and locally inspired flavours. Every menu reflects the changing seasons while showcasing the finest local produce.

Alongside our seasonal menus, Ten Stories proudly partners with Greenspace, whose innovative on-site microfarm produces some of the freshest living ingredients served in the restaurant. Harvested just moments before they reach your plate, these nutrient-rich herbs, microgreens and edible garnishes deliver exceptional flavour, vibrant colour and maximum freshness while significantly reducing food miles. It’s a simple yet meaningful expression of our commitment to sustainability, seasonality and offering guests an elevated dining experience inspired by the very best local Australian produce.

Guests can also enjoy our Vitality dishes, thoughtfully created by our Executive Chef to nourish, restore and energise. Inspired by Swissôtel’s commitment to wellbeing, these dishes combine balanced nutrition with exceptional flavour.

Arches on Market

Arches on Market is Swissôtel Sydney’s signature cocktail and wine bar; a sophisticated retreat above the energy of the city below. The venue is ideal for everything from settling in for an expertly crafted aperitif before dinner, meeting friends over wine, mid-lunch coproarte meeting with offers like express lunch menu available, or finishing the evening after a theatre performance, Arches offers an atmosphere that effortlessly transitions from day to night.

Inspired by the timeless elegance of old-world cocktail bars, the space is defined by the three striking arches that frame the back bar, an architectural feature that inspired both the venue’s name and its identity and one you can spot as soon as you step into the lobby.

Our cocktail programme changes seasonally, with each menu thoughtfully curated by our Bar Manager and dedicated team. The current collection draws inspiration from the rhythms of dining, pairing beautifully with our menu of seasonal small plates while celebrating craftsmanship, balance and flavour.

Both Ten Stories and Arches on Market are available for private dining, exclusive celebrations and full venue hire. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering, a corporate event or a milestone celebration, our team can tailor an experience in one of Sydney’s most elegant CBD venues.

Wellness & Rooftop Pool

At Swissôtel, wellbeing is more than a philosophy, it is woven into every aspect of the guest experience.

Inspired by our Swiss heritage, we believe true wellbeing is achieved through thoughtful choices, meaningful moments of restoration and an environment that allows guests to reconnect with themselves.

This philosophy extends throughout the hotel, from the carefully considered menus at Ten Stories and Arches on Market to the award-winning treatments available at Spa & Sport. It influences the ingredients we source, the partnerships we build with local producers, and the genuine care we extend to every guest. Our commitment to vitality also includes a dedication to sustainability, ensuring we care not only for today’s guests but for the generations to come.

The Spa & Sport Wellness Centre is located on Level 10 and features a new hyperbaric oxygen chamber, an infrared sauna and luxurious treatment rooms offering a range of restorative therapies and massages.

Also located on Level 10, our 24-hour Fitness Centre is equipped with premium facilities, allowing guests to maintain their fitness routine at any time of day.

Finally, stepping out and perched above the city, our exclusive rooftop pool offers a rare urban oasis in the heart of Sydney’s CBD. Framed by sweeping skyline vistas, it is one of the city’s few rooftop pools where guests can unwind, swim, and soak in uninterrupted views of Sydney’s iconic towers from a serene, elevated setting.

Sydney’s Premier Shopping Destination

Swissôtel Sydney enjoys one of the city’s most enviable locations for luxury shopping.

Step outside the hotel and you’ll find yourself moments from Pitt Street Mall, Westfield Sydney and the historic Queen Victoria Building. Together, they form Australia’s premier luxury retail precinct, home to the world’s leading fashion houses and iconic jewellers.

The magnificent State Theatre, one of Australia’s most beautiful heritage performance venues, is only across the road. Home to world-class musicals, concerts, comedy performances and special events, it offers the perfect excuse for a night in the city.
