The Star Sydney has taken its commitment to innovation and entertainment to new heights, with its $65 million transformation of the property’s Pyrmont entrance. The transformation includes a brand-new bar, luxury retailers and a unique arrival experience.The $22 million transformation of the Grand Foyer includes a permanent indoor light and interactive digital art foyer that is part light, part water and part digital art gallery. The 25-metre, 8K resolution crescent-shaped screen will showcase works of Australian artists, university students, cinematographers and animators.Beside the digital canvas is the first sculptural water installation of its design in the Southern Hemisphere: the ‘Aquatique’ artwork of falling water.The opening of the Grand Foyer has been timed with the rebrand of Astral Towers and Residences to The Star Grand Hotel and Residences, following a $100 million investment into its hotel rooms and suites.The brand change provides the five-star hotel with a new identity, more closely aligned with The Star Sydney’s sister property on the Gold Coast and eventually with Brisbane, where the $3.6 billion Queen’s Wharf project is currently progressing.The Star Sydney is also preparing to open its first stand-alone off-property venue, Chuuka: an Asian fusion restaurant helmed by celebrity chefs Chase Kojima and Victor Liong, in July.See www.thestarsydney.com.au
