With massive marble staircases, a dramatic light-filled lobby, and an original birdcage elevator (the only of its kind in NSW), the Sydney outpost of the swank InterContinental group knows how to make a first impression. But it's the 31-floors of newly updated accommodations that seal the deal: each room is fitted with sumptuous bedding, high tech entertainment systems, and picture windows.
