Lilianfels Blue Mountains Resort & Spa

Lilianfels Blue Mountains Resort & Spa Review

Teetering close to the brink of Echo Point, this glamorous boutique hotel adds a keen sense of manor-house style to the standard Blue Mountains guesthouse experience. This hotel has a lush European feel, and both guests and day-visitors alike love to indulge in afternoon tea or a drink by the open fire. Rooms are spacious and luxuriously furnished, with lush fabrics, silk curtains, English flocked wallpapers, and elegant marble bathrooms with deep baths. The upscale Darley's Restaurant ($$$$), in the Heritage-listed original 1889 homestead, serves a cutting-edge menu; a highlight is roasted redgate partridge, confit, en crépinette with cavoy cabbage, celeriac, and blackberry jus. The first-class spa is the ultimate place to relax after exploring the Jamison Valley. There is a two-night minimum stay on weekends, and good packages are available midweek.
