Open for a little over a month, Crowne Plaza Sydney Darling Harbour is already setting a new standard in dining by opening the doors of its signature restaurant exclusively for private lunches and events, just in time for the festive season.

La Bella Trattoria & Bar’s contemporary design, art deco accents and glamour make this modern Italian-fare restaurant the perfect backdrop for an afternoon spent in good company – whether it be colleagues for end of year celebrations, family get-togethers or friends reconnecting and celebrating a milestone.

Groups will be treated to a 6-course degustation or tasting menu of seasonally inspired dishes. Tempt your tastebuds on truffle heirloom bruschetta, decadent veal gnocchi ragout or tender grass-fed tenderloin with field mushroom and spinach mousseline. And in true Italian style, the dessert options include a vanilla pana cotta, served with a mixed berry coulis.

For those that really want to indulge, guests can opt to pair their degustation with matching  Australian and international wines, as well as a selection of craft beers. A menu of cocktails and spirits is also available upon request.

For those wanting to extend the festivities, guests can stay the night and make use of the  light and spacious guestrooms, access to the rooftop heated infinity pool, 24-hour fitness centre and glamourous, art-deco inspired TWO88 Bar & Kitchen.

From dedicated event spaces and wireless charging stations throughout the hotel, to USB charging points, unlimited high-speed WiFi and Chromecast TVs in every room, the technology led hotel provides a true sanctuary away from home. COVID-19 safety measures have also been thoughtfully implemented throughout the hotel to ensure a memorable and personal experience for every guest.

La Bella Trattoria & Bar is located just three minutes’ walk to Darling Harbour, five minutes to Pitt Street Mall and two minutes to Town Hall, making it one of the most accessible hotel restaurants in the city.

Bookings are now available for private lunches and minimum numbers/spend may apply.  Whether it’s an end-of-year corporate event or a birthday celebration, the La Bella team is welcoming anyone seeking a decadent and effortless lunching experience.

6-course degustation menu is $109 per person, $199 per person with matching wines.
