Undeniably, at the forefront of luxury hotels, is the Fairmont brand. With a legacy spanning over a century, the Fairmont hotels continue to raise the bar when it comes to the excellence and innovation of opulent accommodations. Opening its doors to guests in 1988, the Fairmont Blue Mountains resort was the first upscale hotel in the UNESCO listed Blue Mountains.
With a deep indigenous heritage, The Blue Mountains was traditionally home to the Gundunguura and Darag people. For thousands of years the community of indigenous people lived together in peace amongst the natural environment, leaving behind a legacy that continues to shape the region today. In 1813 The Blue Mountains gained international attention when explorers William Lawson, Gregory Blaxland and William Charles Wentworth discovered the natural wonder, opening expansion for European settlement. From this, the construction of transportation routes such as the Great Western Highway and the Blue Mountain railway developed, creating opportunity for public exploration.

Offering a unique culinary experience, the Fairmont Blue Resorts food philosophy is centred on providing ‘simplistic, warm and comforting food with fresh and authentic flavours.’ With multiple awards, the philosophy is proving to be of substance. 2024 AGFG Chef Hat Award resort restaurant NO 1 Sublime celebrates Australian local produce with a 5-course menu, overlooking the picturesque landscape. The upscale dining experience is perfect for a special occasion and introduces Australian culinary it its best form. Embers Grill offers premium steakhouse cuts, and the Azzurro Trattoria specialises in Italian classics. A family favourite is the Jamison restaurant, an all-day buffet suitable for casual dining. For those looking for some fun on their stay, the award winning Two Doctors Whisky Tavern hosts musicians and a DJ, with a large list of international whiskies served in a plush setting.
