Sydney's premier high tea venues and rooftop bars showcased

Sydney’s hospitality scene is highlighted with three standout high‑tea locations. Aperture at Capella Sydney serves an internationally inspired menu with Australian flavours, operating daily from 12:30 pm to 4 pm at $95 per person (or $125 with champagne). The Wentworth High Tea at Sofitel Sydney Wentworth offers French pâtisseries and savoury bites in the Velvet Lounge on Saturdays and Sundays, priced from $69 (or $89 with bubbles). The Fox Hole adds a twist with its Gin & Tea concept, featuring mushroom arancini, mini sandwiches and botanic gin cocktails, available on weekends for $85 per person.

The city’s rooftop bar scene is equally vibrant. Historic Glenmore Hotel in The Rocks provides harbour views and classic pub fare. Taylor’s Rooftop atop The Republic Hotel delivers open‑air cocktails, wines and wood‑fired pizza in the CBD. Other notable venues include Jacksons on George, Library Bar hidden above the State Library, Babylon rooftop above Westfield Sydney, Untied in Barangaroo, The Bristol in the CBD, and The Butler in Potts Point, each offering distinctive drinks, cuisine and skyline vistas.
