Australian Sustainable Destinations Alliance Certifies First Kimpton Branded Hotel in Australia for Green Key

At Kimpton Margot, one of Sydney’s most exquisite Art Deco buildings has been reinvented to create a dynamic destination that is so much more than a place to rest your head. Located in the edgy south corner of the city, Sydney’s best shopping, entertainment and fashion-forward neighbourhoods are a stone’s throw away.

Inside, thoughtfully designed rooms offer the comforts of your home, at ours, while grand patterns, plush furnishings and botanical displays create a harmoniously eclectic hideaway amid the hustle-bustle. Eateries in tasteful spaces dish up flavours for the ages, and a treasure trove of art and pop-up events evoke the best of the locale. Upstairs, a swanky rooftop bar hums with the sounds of the Harbour City.

“Kimpton Margot really is a stunning hotel and we are very proud for this hotel to be the first Kimpton property certified for Green Key in Australia”, said Scott Mitchell, Director at Australian Sustainable Destinations Alliance.
