When it comes to Sydney’s “best of the best” CBD hotels, few manage to balance five-star luxury with genuine fun quite like Kimpton Margot Sydney. Sitting pretty on Pitt Street, this heritage-listed Art Deco gem has fast become a favourite for those who like their stays with a side of personality — and a rooftop pool, naturally.
Old-School Glamour, Modern Mischief
Inside, it’s all sweeping staircases, terrazzo tiles and moody lighting — a nod to Sydney’s golden era of style — paired with all the little touches that make a Kimpton, well, a Kimpton. Think leafy “plant pals” keeping you company in your room, custom Lekker bikes for city exploring, and a pet-friendly policy that welcomes furry, feathery and even scaly companions. (Yes, they really mean it.)
Harper Rooftop Bar: Sydney’s Sky-High Playground
When the mercury rises, all roads lead to Harper Rooftop Bar — the largest open-air rooftop in Sydney and, hands down, one of the chicest. Expect skyline views, Mediterranean bites and a cocktail list that reads like summer in a glass.
Seasonal highlights? Harper’s Golden Hour (hello, $15 Aperol Spritzes and $16 Sour Gummi Worms cocktails), and Puppy & Pinot Sundays, where your pooch earns you a complimentary glass of Pinot Noir or Pinot Grigio with any meal. Because why shouldn’t your dog help you day-drink responsibly?
Oh, and if you need another excuse to go — they’re running a buy two spritzes, get one free deal until the end of October. We’ll cheers to that.

Dinner, A Dip, and a Show
If your evening plans involve a little more razzle-dazzle, The Book of Mormon is lighting up the nearby Capitol Theatre until January. Do it right: start with a swim on the rooftop, grab a table for the pre-theatre dining menu at Luke’s Kitchen (Luke Mangan’s team will have you fed, happy and out the door before the curtain rises), and then stroll a few minutes to the show.
It’s giving luxury, laughter and late check-out — all in one night.
