Immersed in the heart of the city's lights festival, Sydney Harbour Marriott in Circular Quay will be a showcase of all things VIVID for the duration of the event. From breathtaking Opera House and Bridge-view rooms to specialty VIVID cocktails and dining, immersive exhibits on premises and more, the hotel will be at the epicentre of the VIVID precinct.

In addition to the façade of the iconic building being brilliantly lit up as part of the festival, Sydney Harbour Marriott will also be one of the only hotels to have an exclusive VIVID exhibit, Square Fugue, onsite.

Square Fugue will be prominently showcased along the laneway space of Three Bottle Man, the hotel's award-winning new laneway bar. It explores the sculptural possibilities of Bach's famous musical composition Six Suites for Unaccompanied Cello. When viewed, the sculpture develops in a flat non-linear rhythm, appearing as a wall texture that gradually emerges outwards and across the wall.

Marriott's historic gastropub Customs House Bar, with its ideal location next to Macquarie Place Park, will also offer front row seats to some of the most exciting exhibits in the area including a never-before-seen 3D holographic interactive cube, aptly named the Space Arena. Additionally, to kick-off the VIVID festivities, Customs House Bar will be hosting an exciting glowing silent disco and Young Henry's pop-up bar adjacent to the exhibits on the 31st of May.

Complementing the above, both Three Bottle Man and Customs House Bar will be developing a limited-edition bespoke VIVID cocktail at each venue, available for the duration of the festival.

Alongside the above, Silvester's, the hotels 5-star contemporary Australian restaurant, will offer an early VIVID Dinner, Dessert & Wine menu for those wishing to dine early before going to explore the nearby exhibits and shows.

For visitors and locals alike wishing to stay at the heart of it all, the hotel's exclusive VIVID rooms package will help make the most of their experience. The specially-designed package includes a VIVID-view room, complimentary VIVID cocktails, complimentary breakfast and parking, plus much more.
