The Simon Hotel Sydney by Atlific Hotels completes renovations and rebrand

The hotel’s modern new design compliments its reputation for impeccable service in the city’s best location. With a nod to owner Irwin Simon who was born and raised in Cape Breton, this relaunch serves as a way of celebrating his native city after successful 30-plus years (as the former Cambridge Suites Hotel Sydney) while ensuring that the waterfront mainstay contributes to the vitality of the region well into the future. Renovations of the hotel’s lobby, restaurant and bar, guest rooms, corridors, rooftop patio, meeting rooms and fitness centre were led by Royal Design Inc. who took inspiration from the property’s waterfront location as well as the casual and relaxed vibe that Sydney is known for.

“We’re incredibly proud of the hotel's success over the last three decades and we couldn't be more excited to unveil the new Simon Hotel Sydney as it takes us into our next 30 years of unforgettable service,” says Michele Bianchini, general manager, The Simon Hotel Sydney. "We take heart in serving as a cornerstone of the Sydney community and these updates will help us to provide the best experience for locals and travellers alike."

In order to convey the hotel’s “true blue” East Coast experience, Royal Design Inc. led the transformation with design themes touching on water and the area's natural environment. As such, renovated spaces have been decorated in aquatic tones paired with the calming greys and taupes of rocks and driftwood. Nautical accents balanced against clean and modern lines tie everything together.

The renovations reconfigured the lobby and TRIO Restaurant creating an open-concept area. New flooring throughout the lobby leads up to a newly installed lobby market and front desk pods. Glittering chandeliers and inviting seating options have been introduced encouraging a continued sense of casual comfort.

The hotel’s 144 guest rooms and suites were designed with a focus on clean lines, modern finishes and muted taupe and blue tones to carry the nautical theme home. Streamlined design features such as new vanities and mirrors with lighting tie everything together. Guests can choose from a variety of room configurations suited to their needs. From standard rooms geared to short stays, to spacious one-bedroom and harbour view guest suites offering a separate living and bedroom along with a birds-eye view of the waterfront.

No corner has been left untouched with the completely overhauled meeting rooms and upgrades to the fitness facilities. For its part, the meeting space is now replete with new finishing from flooring to elegant chandeliers, seating and beyond. And for those looking to maintain their wellness routine while on site, the hotel's gym now offers all-new flooring and new equipment. The Simon Hotel Sydney is located in the downtown waterfront district in Sydney, Nova Scotia, on the island of Cape Breton. The hotel is situated within walking distance of Centre 200, Casino Nova Scotia, The Big Fiddle, and surrounded by the city's finest in shopping, dining and entertainment.
