On the rooftop, the poolside scene is set in the style of the Amalfi’s Belmond Caruso or Rome’s Soho House, with beachy views over Manly’s North Steyne. Inside, rooms are impeccably appointed with all the frills. Bringing its own brand of coastal cool to Accor’s MGallery hotel collection, the Manly Pacific draws on its seaside location and dreamy interiors to level up the luxury at every touchpoint.
The rooms
Each of the 213 rooms and 9 suites is washed in a colour palette of white and sea blue, while light timber, sheer curtains and terrazzo-lined bathrooms deliver beach and chic. But the ones to book are the ocean terrace rooms, to take in the views over Manly Beach via a sun lounger on your own private balcony. Cool linen robes, Leif amenities and a pay-to-play minibar tick all the high-end hotel room boxes.
Food & drink
Claiming its own corner of the lobby is Cibaria, The Manly Pacific’s chic new Italian restaurant courtesy of Michelin-starred chef Alessandro Pavoni (Ormeggio, Postino Osteria). From the spaghetteria serving homemade tagliatelle to the dedicated salumeria and a gelateria dishing up Italian icons. The lobby bar, 55 North, brings coastal cocktails and Mediterranean sizzle to the hotel bar experience.
The service
Staff serve Spritzes poolside, a five-star concierge service is on hand, and beach itineraries are individually tailored at the Beach Club. And this cossetting service and members-only aesthetic is all part of the polish.
Ideal for: Coastal cool and poolside lounging
Why we love it:
- The rooftop pool. The chic monogrammed pool is lined with retro striped sun loungers and beach umbrellas.
- The view. From the rooms to the rooftop, the wraparound views over Manly Beach are primed for taking it all in.
- The suites. From cocktails delivered to the living room to the seaside view and the luxury of space, this is a high-end beachside pied-à-terre.
