Why your base matters
Vivid’s nightly Light Walk stretches more than eight kilometres across Circular Quay, The Rocks, Barangaroo, Darling Harbour, Martin Place and The Goods Line. Pick accommodation on (or just off) the route and you can walk to the lights, avoid most road closures and dip back to your room to warm up, change lenses or—yes—take a rooftop swim between shows.Where to stay for Vivid Sydney?
Waterfront rooms and a rooftop pool with full-frontal Opera House projections—arguably the best private vantage point in town.
