Lilianfels, Australia's Blue Mountain Resort
A Luxury Hotel and Spa in New South Wales’ Largest National Park
Mar 18, 2009
Nestled in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, only a two hour train ride from the vibrant coastal metropolis of Sydney, lies the quaint mountain town of Katoomba – home to Lilianfels.
Upon arrival, the meticulous attention to detail in every facet of the 85 room boutique hotel is obvious. Each room and suite is individually designed and decorated: every alcove comes with crisp sheets, downy towels, and large bathrooms with oversized marble tubs. To fully appreciate the Blue Mountains, rooms with a view over the Jamison Valley are available.
Use Lilianfels' World Class Outdoor Recreation Areas To Relieve Your Stress and Relax.
Step into the backyard of Lilianfels and find yourself at the footstep of a gorgeous blue infinite pool surrounded by expansive manicured English Gardens. To sweat out your stress, hit the fully equipped gym, or rent a racket and use the private tennis court.
Blue Mountains, For a Little More Adventure?
Alternatively, ask the concierges about a good bushwalk – Aussie for hike -- into the lush Eucalyptus forests of the Blue Mountains, New South Wales’ largest and most spectacular national park. Nearby, at the threshold of Katoomba and the national park, is the viewing area for the iconic Three Sisters rock formation.
The Blue Mountains derives their name from the oil secreted by the Eucalyptus tree leaves which permeates the air of the region and lends a blue tint to the mountain vistas. A variety of native Australian fauna call the Blue Mountains home including Kangaroos, Kualas, Cocatoos, Kukaburras, and even the rare and elusive dingo.
World Class Spa
If swimming, tennis, hiking and the gym cannot relieve your stress, Lilianfels’ Spa surely will. In 2006 the spa was named 8th best spa in the world by Conde Nast travel magazine. With nine different types of facials, five types of massages, a variety of hand and foot treatments, male grooming options, even a Tibetan temple massage, this spa will undoubtedly cater to even the most fastidious customer.
In House Five Star Restaurants
After a day of stress alleviation the only course is a good meal and inside Lilianfels the dining options are second to none.
- The Lounges mahogany bar and large comfortable chairs are a good spot for drinks before dinner.
- Tre Sorelle, the more casual of the two restaurants within Lilianfels, serves traditional Italian with views of the English gardens below.
- Darley's Restaurant offers the finest culinary creations at Lilianfels. Chef, Hugh Whitehouse, captains the kitchen (at his former restaurant Whitehouse won Sydney’s prestigious ‘Chef’s Hat’ award five consecutive years). He serves all organic contemporary Australian cuisine and focuses on using only the freshest ingredients possible.
