Part of Sydney's glittery The Star casino complex, The Darling is a 5-star luxury boutique hotel captured within the state's most illustrious gaming complex that's home to a number of top-tier fashion houses like Gucci and Bottega Veneta, gourmet eateries and top casino destination. In the backdrop of the Darling Harbour Bridge with views that stretch to the Blue Ridge Mountains, a glassy silhouette rises above a monolith development project that sits 10-minutes from downtown Sydney. Visitors arrive to one of the prettiest casinos they've ever seen, more of a horizontal glass-and-steel sprawl than the high-rise properties of Vegas or Macau. Inside, the hotel mixes notes of Asian design and European décor with in-house sushi eatery led by a former-Nobu protégé as well as a luxury spa with 16 treatment rooms and on-site fitness center.

Upgraded Jewel-Suites come with split living room and sleeping area with more evolved décor and impress in-room home theater. Top-of-the-line Penthouse wows even the most fickle with large living area with ample entertaining area that sprawls onto an outdoor terrace with humbling skyline views.
