First Swissotel in Australia

Sydney's Merchant Court Hotel was rebranded as a Swissotel property last night, marking the introduction of the Swissotel brand in Australia.

Parent company Raffles International spent the past few months upgrading the 359-room property - now known as Swissotel Sydney - to a five-star standard.

The hotel is the 25th Swissotel property globally and is offering an introductory rate of $199 for one night in a deluxe room until January 31(excluding New Year’s Eve).
