“Standing in Katoomba, this place strikes me as a blend of heritage and modern luxury, particularly with its ties to Sir Frederick Darley's former residence and an award-winning restaurant, Darley's. I noticed some concerns raised about room maintenance and pool upkeep, which, if addressed, would undoubtedly elevate its appeal as a family-friendly vacation spot with access to iconic Blue Mountains attractions.”

I found the customer service acceptable.
My credit card was billed a higher amount two days before arrival. This annoyed me. I was also told I would be charged a percentage for using a credit card. I found this unacceptable.

Wonderful Stay and Excellent Service

easy accessseparate lounge areagreat size bathroomlimited parking
The location provided easy access to the Three Sisters and Echo Point. The hotel was maintained. Our room included a separate lounge area, which we used frequently. The bathroom was a great size, and the shower worked very well.
I noticed that the parking seemed quite limited. There was no valet service available. Guests staying at the hotel did not appear to have priority over those visiting the restaurant. A parking permit system for hotel guests might improve this situation.
