Castle Residences: Sydney's Manhattan-style apartments atop the Porter House Hotel
Sydney's newest CBD apartment tower, Castle Residences by United Development Sydney, not only blends history with the contemporary, but also apartment living with the luxury hotel experience.
Designed by Candalepas Associates, Castle Residences combines modern architecture with the historical preservation of heritage-listed Porter House, built in 1876. That is now home to the Porter House Hotel, Accor's 400th hotel in its MGallery Hotel collection. It rises five levels and maintains the building’s heritage sandstone façade.
Above it, the striking 36-level Castle Residences on Castlereagh Street is characterised by sculptural cantilevers, alcoves, and honeycomb-like arches, presenting a modern contrast to the historical building.
Residents of the 131 Manhattan-style apartments have exclusive access to a range of hotel services and amenities provided by the MGallery Hotel via a personalised iPad application.
Through the app, residents can access room service, in-residence catering, housekeeping, maintenance services, and general hotel services such as couriers, dry cleaning, and laundry.
Full hotel amenities, including restaurants, bars, a gym, a pool, and a business centre, are also available to residents.
The Porter House - MGallery boasts 122 rooms and suites, private event or conference rooms and hospitality venues to suit all occasions.
On the ground floor of the hotel, Henry's Bread + Wine offers a café and wine bar experience, while the first floor is home to modern brasserie Dixon & Sons.
The fourth floor hosts Spice Trader, a cocktail bar celebrating the building's historical ties to the spice trade.
Residents are also serviced by a concierge for restaurant and taxi bookings plus mail and package deliveries, 24-hour security, and priority valet parking.
Castle Residences offers luxury studios and larger one, two, three, and four-bedroom apartments with interiors by StudioAria.
The location, adjacent to Sydney’s Hyde Park, provides a prime address for residents, ideal for the homeowner or investor.
