Make the Most of Your Katoomba Stay

Capital of the Blue Mountains

Katoomba rises 1,000 meters above sea level as the historic gateway to the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains, where dramatic sandstone cliffs meet preserved Art Deco architecture. The town evolved from a coal mining settlement into Australia's premier mountain resort during the 1920s, with heritage visible along Katoomba Street, where the grand Carrington Hotel anchors galleries, cafes, and boutiques. The Three Sisters rock formation at Echo Point provides the region's most recognizable vista, while the Prince Henry Cliff Walk reveals why this landscape earned World Heritage status.

Dining and artistic character

The culinary scene reflects the town's dual identity as tourist destination and creative enclave. Darley's Restaurant at Lilianfels Resort offers refined dining with Jamison Valley views, while the town center supports a bohemian cafe culture attracting artists and writers. Scenic World's engineering marvels—including the world's steepest passenger railway—provide access to ancient rainforest on the valley floor.

Reaching the mountains

The train from Sydney Central takes just over 2 hours, climbing through eucalyptus forests. Business travelers often prefer private chauffeur services from Sydney Airport. Members can use miles to book accommodations from heritage hotels in town to resort properties along Cliff Drive.
