The hotel's LivingWell Health Club offers a 25-metre heated indoor pool, complete with swimming lanes, in- house instructors and a children's splash pool. Guests can work up a sweat on the fitness equipment then unwind in the sauna or spa tub and enjoy healthy drinks from the juice bar. The Glass Brasserie is a high-ceilinged restaurant characterised by colourful and large-scale abstract artworks, and a menu offering classic French. In the evenings, guests can enjoy live music in the Marble Bar, a preserved Victorian bar that serves cocktails, canapés and Australian ales, or sample a selection of boutique beers at the lively GAB bar. The hotel houses 23 meeting and conference rooms and a ballroom which is able to accommodate up to 1,000 delegates. A range of office services are available in the business centre, including secretarial support and typing. The concierge and 24-hour front desk staff are on hand to assist with luggage, arrange babysitting and dry-cleaning services and advise on local sights and attractions. Sydney's old quarter, The Rocks, one kilometre from the hotel, is built upon a sandstone ledge where the First Fleet mariners came ashore in 1788 and claimed Australia as a British settlement. Today, the district's cobbled streets offer cafes, restaurants, historic pubs and panoramic harbour views. Sydney Airport is 19 kilometres away, with an approximate driving time of 25 minutes.
