Five-star hotel links with Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens



The InterContinental Sydney has announced a new partnership with the city's Royal Botanic Gardens, which will see the two landmarks come together to offer a series of events for guests, employees and the wider community to enjoy.

I stayed at the hotel recently and enjoyed the superb views; including of the Botanic Gardens.

“We're honoured and thrilled to be partnering with Botanic Gardens of Sydney and to be building on our time-honoured connection with this incredibly important natural masterpiece in the heart of our beloved city,” said InterContinental Sydney general manager Jennifer Brown.

“InterContinental Sydney's unique position just a stone's throw away from the Gardens affords us uninterrupted views and access, but our connection goes much deeper than this.

“This new partnership will not only enable us to offer hotel guests and our team more opportunities to explore the beautiful Gardens on our doorstep, but it will also allow us to increase our support for the scientific, horticultural and cultural work of the Gardens.”

The Treasury Building, which houses the hotel, and the Royal Botanic Gardens have been neighbours since 1851.

“InterContinental Sydney has a special connection to the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney; the historic Treasury Building of the hotel was one of our first neighbours after the Gardens were built,” says Gardens CEO Denise Ora.

“We're delighted to see a new aspiration for its guests to join our important cultural and scientific Tours. It's the next step in both organisation's efforts to showcase the best of Sydney to our community.”

To mark the new partnership, InterContinental Sydney has released the Botanic Gardens Package which  includes a stay in one of the hotel's East Harbour rooms with views overlooking the Gardens, a welcome 'The Tree of Life' cocktail in The Treasury (for two people), breakfast for two in The Conservatory and a choice of four guided Garden walks: Aboriginal Bush Tucker Tour, Astronomy at The Calyx Tour, Ghostly Gardens Tour and Aboriginal Harbour Heritage Tour.

The package starts from $629 per night for two guests.
