Heritage awaits

Savour a heritage stay at the Fullerton Sydney.

11 March 2025

Experience a Heritage Stay at The Fullerton Hotel Sydney an indulgent escape that’ll whisk you straight into the splendid Victorian past. Celebrating the glorious 150th anniversary of Sydney’s iconic former General Post Office, The Fullerton offers a distinctly refined yet delightfully playful retreat.

“A hundred and fifty years at the heart of Sydney deserves something truly fabulous,” enthuses General Manager John O’Shea, clearly thrilled at the prospect of mixing history with a splash of decadence. “We’ve dreamt up an afternoon tea that’s equal parts Victorian elegance and modern culinary cheek.”

One of the gourmet activities on offer is the Heritage Afternoon Tea set amidst the grandeur of the historic GPO. Here, cucumber sandwiches (as essential as good gossip), rich Bakewell puddings (decadence made tangible), and Neapolitan Ice Cream Verrines (an elegant twist on childhood delight) jostle for attention on your porcelain plate.

From Potted Prawns to Apple Charlotte Pinwheels, it’s a tongue-in-cheek culinary ode to 19th-century high society with a dash of contemporary Australian flair.

Named after its storied sister property in Singapore, The Fullerton Hotel Sydney remains a cherished icon.
