Sydney hotel Pier One has welcomed back its Glass Room pop-up in time for winter, this time with glass-walled enclosures on not one but two of its luxury suite balconies.
The five-star stay will also be hosting private ceramics classes in the pop-up suites as part of a one-off collaboration with Sydney-based clay artist Guy Vadas of Pottery Boy.
Pottery studio with a view … Guy Vadas hosts private ceramics workshops at Pier One’s Glass Room suites.
Available through to September 29, 2024, each west-facing Glass Room is designed to take advantage of the property’s knockout harbourside location.
The launch of the suites coincides with the city’s annual light spectacle, Vivid Sydney, which runs through to June 15 and, perhaps fittingly given the feast of pyrotechnics, projections and visual artistry swirling about, will showcase the creative touches of Vadas throughout.
The Stargazer Suite … sleep out under the stars.
The Ceramiques founder has overseen both Glass Room interiors, with a serenely earthy palette of greens and neutrals, sculptural ceramic pieces and sumptuous soft furnishings.
Guests can also channel their inner artiste through an in-room DIY ceramic experience ($80 a person), or opt for an exclusive 90-minute private interactive pottery class led by Vadas himself ($2000 for up to 10 people).
The Soiree Suite … for an intimate gathering.
The two Glass Rooms comprise The Soiree Suite, featuring plush lounge seating for up to eight, and The Stargazer Suite, fitted out with a double bed for a cosy winter sleepout under the stars. Guests can also choose from a range of beverage and catering options, including charcuterie plates, sandwiches, dips and deep-fried party bites.
