When it comes to places to stay in Sydney, you can thank Grant Featherston of Artes Studio and Vico Magistretti for Potts Point View. They are the formidable design team behind the chic interiors of this oversized, one-bedroom apartment, with understated furnishings, sculptures and artwork scattered throughout. The icing on the cake is the apartment’s glittering city skyline view, which takes in the Harbour Bridge, Opera House and CBD and looks particularly spectacular at night. With HD cable television, broadband internet and a sleek, all-marble bathroom, the apartment is beautifully equipped for those in Sydney on a longer stay, with Miele accessories and a gourmet kitchen. But those who want to make the most of the area’s thriving dining scene only need stroll down the quiet cul-de-sac to reach the main streets, which are heaving with cafés, trendy eateries and bars. The nightclubs (and spicier joints of Kings Cross) are within walking distance, too.
