It must be fantastic to live in Neil Perry's world. He owns some of the country's top restaurants (with more on the way), has hosted no less than three different cooking shows and is even the Iron Chef of our national cuisine. In fact, Perry's world is so fanciful that even the mundane things in life transcend into the sublime, just like his latest venture in the Crown Towers lobby, the Waiting Room.
Most people would find spending a few hours in a hotel lobby arduous. Those people have never tried it in Perry's re-imagining. Grant Cheyne's sleek fitout combines elegant grandeur with intimate detail to create a space that is at once decadent and comfortable. The offerings at TWR are then finished off with a typically polished Rockpool-esque wine list - complete with seasonal cocktails and bespoke beers - matched with Mediterranean-inspired baguettes, salads, montaditos and pinchos all done as only Neil Perry can.
