Some hotels aren’t just accommodation, they’re the destination. They’re not only atmospheric, beautifully designed and exceptionally serviced, but offer us something singular and memorable in their own right – without leaving the property.
In this extract from Travels, Broadsheet’s new hardcover book, discover the finest examples from right across Australia, including a rainforest eco lodge, an inner-city resort, an avant-garde winery stay and three all-inclusive outback retreats. Australia’s Best Destination Hotels is one of 11 special features in Travels, with others rounding up the country’s top wine regions, oyster farm gates, cottages and cabins, arts festivals and more.
The rest of the book is divided into seven chapters, each covering a specific state or territory and collecting our favourite locations and experiences to be found there – 60 all up. Some are quick and easy, like visiting a standout fish’n’chip shop or country pub. Others cover entire regions, such as Margaret River or Arnhem Land, and contain enough suggestions to plan an entire week around.
