You may never make it to the track once you settle in at the William Inglis. This horse-mad hotel opened in January and offers racing enthusiasts everything from a swanky whisky and wine bar to a 24-hour gym and luxurious day spa. You can choose from 144 rooms and suites named in honor of racing stars like Black Caviar, personalised with portraits and mementoes from the thoroughbreds’ careers.
All the horse paraphernalia is fitting: the hotel looks out over the Warwick Farm racecourse in South West Sydney and is part of a development by thoroughbred horse sales company William Inglis & Son Ltd. While the homage to racing throughout the hotel will interest racing industry bigwigs, novaces can certainly appreciate the prime position and elegant dining options at the Newmarket Room restaurant and lobby café. Avoiding the crowds and watching the races from the rooftop bar and pool will add a little glamour to your stay.
