The Langham’s Observatory Bar serves up striking cocktails in its new space

The Langham Sydney’s Observatory Bar opens its doors this spring, providing visitors with a stunning new location to seek refuge from the bustle of the city. Nestled in the heart of Millers Point, Observatory Bar provides guests with an intimate space to enjoy a meticulously curated cocktail or fine wine.
