If you want to have this experience, you need to book a table well in advance, especially if you want one by the window to enjoy the breathtaking view of the Circular Quay.
2. A luxury trip to the Hunter Valley
There are few things as luxury as driving a Porsche or Lamborghini down the streets on your way to the Hunter Valley, the perfect place for those who enjoy the most high-quality and expensive wines that the world can offer. Many businessmen go there not only for the unique experience of wine tasting but also for other relaxing activities like going to a spa or playing golf. As a perfect ending to a perfect trip, enjoy the amazing sunrise from a hot-air balloon over the Valley.
3. Glamorous yacht cruise
The Sydney harbour is famous for its beauty, so sailing it is a truly glamorous way of seeing the city in a couple of hours. If your business trip will last at least 2 days, then sailing at night would be an even better option – mesmerizing city lights with the soothing background music and the traditional Australian cuisine with its finest wines and beer will make this yacht cruise the one to remember.
4. The ultimate adventure in the air
Want to make an ultimate impression on your business partners? Fly up in the air for a once-in-a-lifetime experience! There are luxury seaplanes at your disposal, while the starting point of the tour is the ocean. From there on, you’ll be able to enjoy the greatest Sydney’s landmarks like the majestic Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Being 20,000 feet above the sea level and soaking in the beauty of Sydney is a top experience of any business trip to this incredible city.

Even the pickiest shopper will find something to be delighted with. And why not have the ultimate shopping experience? Book a chauffeured Chic in The City tour and have your own stylist guide you through the city in a private car with champagne in search of the best piece of clothing in sophisticated stores.
Things to have in mind
Maybe you won’t spend too much time in your accommodation, especially if you have only a day in Sydney. However, the accommodation you choose will say a lot about you to your partners. It isn’t hard to find executive suites in Sydney for exquisite service and magnificent views of the town.
Also, if the business trip is during hot summer months, don’t think about engaging in some serious business on Friday afternoons, simply because it’s the time of the day when even the most ambitious businessmen won’t miss the opportunity to have lunch and enjoy a laid-back afternoon with their colleagues and friends. It would be wise to make a reservation around 1 pm and then just enjoy the afternoon sun after a great meal.
All in all
A business trip to Sydney will be an incredible experience, no matter which one of these unique and luxurious experiences you choose to have. After all, it’s no secret that there isn’t such a thing as too much glamour – and this town has it in abundance.
