If you're looking to treat yourself to complete luxury, The Intercontinental Double Bay in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs is a must.

The five-star hotel located in the heart of Double Bay's high-end fashion precinct, recently undertook a lavish multi-million dollar renovation with bold artworks, gold elevator doors, giant chandeliers, Italian marble floors; and it's Miami-style rooftop pool with a glorious view of the bay.

The hotel also makes one of the best Affogatos in Sydney. Created with Vittoria Coffee, Frangelico and vanilla ice cream, served in an exquisite martini glass.

This soul-warming dessert is so simple and yet so satisfying, particularly after a long day at work or for a mid- shopping break; best enjoyed whilst people-watching from the swanky bar or rooftop.

If you live in Sydney, make sure you stop by.

Address is 33 Cross St, Double Bay NSW 2028
