Inside Sydney’s Crown Jewel

Sydney is a city filled with iconic landmarks, stunning harbors, and top-tier luxury, but nothing caught my eye quite like the Crown Sydney—an enormous, gleaming glass skyscraper that stands out against the skyline. It looks like something straight out of a sci-fi movie… or, let’s be honest, a giant, sparkly dildo in the middle of the harbor. Naturally, I had to find out what was inside.

From the W to the Crown – The Upgrade of a Lifetime

We were originally staying at W Sydney, which is an amazing property with a solid presidential suite, but across the harbor, Crown Sydney kept calling my name. I found out that the top two suites—on the 87th and 88th floors—were by invitation only, usually reserved for “VIPs” and the ultra-elite.

I wasn’t about to let that stop me.

I’ve stayed in some of the world’s most legendary hotels—right in front of the Eiffel Tower, above Iguazu Falls, and overlooking Christ the Redeemer in Rio. So, why not add Sydney’s most exclusive penthouse suite to the list?

After flashing the usual “I’m important” credentials, I somehow wrangled my way into one of the presidential suites on the 87th floor—and let me tell you, it was worth every second of sweet-talking.

A Suite Like No Other

The Presidential Suite at Crown Sydney is next-level luxury. I’m talking:

• Two massive bedrooms, each with its own ridiculous view
• A private office (perfect for pretending to work)
• A gym, sauna, and massage room—because relaxation is mandatory
• A full bar… with my own bartender named Tom
• A grand piano (because, obviously, every suite needs a little dramatic flair)
• And the kicker? Two bathtubs overlooking the Sydney Opera House

I mean, who doesn’t want to soak in a bubble bath with the Opera House as their backdrop?

And the best part? I was the only guest on my entire floor, which meant I could roam around in my pajamas like I owned the place.

The People Who Made It Even Better

The suite itself was mind-blowing, but the staff at Crown Sydney? Absolute legends.

• Tom, the bartender—who became my new best friend after mixing up the perfect drinks every night. (Let’s just say, my love for tequila might need an intervention.)
• Ines, the fixer—the woman who could make literally anything happen, no matter how outrageous.
• Raymon, the koala bear-looking guy—my personal problem solver, ready to handle any request, anytime, anywhere.

A Luxury Stay Worth Every Dollar

Of course, when the bill started rolling in, reality hit—maybe I had indulged just a little too much. But honestly? This stay was worth every single dollar.

Sydney is already a dream destination, but Crown Sydney takes luxury to another level. Whether it’s the stunning views, over-the-top amenities, or the world-class service, this place is unforgettable.

But let’s be real—who wouldn’t want to live like royalty in a giant glass skyscraper with a view?
