Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Australian rendezvous: Couple shack up in $16,300-a-night presidential villa of Sydney’s swankiest hotel, Crown Towers in Barangaroo
Taylor Swift and boyfriend Travis Kelce are sparing no expense for their overseas reunion in Australia, with the two shacking up at one of Sydney’s swankiest and extravagant hotels.
The pop singer and the NFL star are staying at the posh Crown Towers, the city’s first six-star hotel, located in the harbor-side neighborhood of Barangaroo, during Swift’s four-day stop in Sydney for her Eras Tour.
With upscale restaurants, lavish facilities, and high-end amenities throughout the property, the venue boasts a guaranteed luxurious experience, something both Taylor and Travis are more than used to.
Yet, the loved-up couple still opted for the most opulent – and priciest – room the hotel has to offer – the Crown Presidential Villa.
The palatial residence is so ritzy, guests are required to inquire for its nightly rates, which typically starts at an eye-watering $16,300 (AUD$25,000) a night.
Billed as the property’s largest villa at 860sqft, two-story hotel room is situated on the 88th floor and features a stunning panoramic views of Sydney and Sydney Harbour through its floor-to-ceiling windows.
The first floor features an expansive living area, kitchen, bar, pool table, and a media room for entertaining.
A dining room comfortably hosts up to 10 people and there is also a fully equipped office and butler’s quarters.
Meanwhile, the second floor includes a spectacular master bedroom features a spacious bathroom complete with a marble spa bath and steam shower.
A second king-size bedroom features a deluxe ensuite, with the luxury extending to the fitness room complete with infrared sauna. An open-air terrace comes with a heated, private infinity pool.
The 275 meter (902ft) tall complex towering over Sydney, which opened at the end of 2020 after four years of construction, also has an impressive selection of fine restaurants and bars, including famous Japanese eatery and celebrity hotspot, Nobu, owned by renowned chef Nobu Matsuhisa.
The Crown Sydney, also known as One Barangaroo, was developed by Australian billionaire James Packer through his former company Crown Resorts, which was later acquired by US firm Blackstone in 2022.
