Lux Pyrmont 1 Bed Apt – Parking & Pool Access

Hotel Description

So I stumbled across this apartment on Distillery Drive in Pyrmont, and honestly? It’s one of those finds that makes you feel like you’ve cracked some sort of Sydney code. The building itself sits in what used to be – well, obviously – the old distillery area, and you can still feel that industrial vibe mixed with all the sleek modern developments that have sprouted up around Darling Harbour.

The apartment is properly luxe without being stuffy about it. You walk in and there’s this immediate sense of space that’s rare in Sydney accommodation – I mean, the bedroom actually fits a proper bed plus room to move around it, which anyone who’s stayed in city hotels here will appreciate. The kitchen’s not just for show either; it’s got everything you’d actually want if you’re planning to cook (though with all the restaurants within walking distance, you might not bother). What really sold me was the pool access – and I’m talking about a decent-sized pool, not some tiny lap thing. Perfect for those stupidly hot February days when even the harbor breeze isn’t helping.

The parking situation is honestly the hero feature here. If you’ve ever tried to park anywhere near Darling Harbour or the CBD, you’ll know this is basically gold. It’s secure underground parking too, so you’re not worrying about your car while you’re out exploring. Location-wise, you’re about a ten-minute walk to Darling Harbour proper, maybe fifteen to get to the really touristy bits around Circular Quay, but close enough that you can easily duck back if you forget something or need a break from the crowds. The Star casino is practically next door if that’s your thing, and the light rail stops right there on Pyrmont Bridge Road – super handy for getting to Central Station or out to the airport without dealing with Sydney traffic. You know what’s actually great about this spot? It feels residential enough that you’re not constantly surrounded by tourists taking photos, but you’re still close enough to everything that matters. The building’s well-maintained, the lifts work (small miracle in some Sydney buildings), and the whole area has that nice evening vibe when people are finishing work and heading to the waterfront restaurants.
