Sydney, Australia, already voted one of the Top 10 Most Beautiful Cities at Night by TripAdvisor, becomes even more stunning this spring (or shall we say fall?). From May 25-June 11, Sydney Harbor will once again transform for Vivid Sydney, the largest celebration of light, music, and ideas in the Southern Hemisphere. For these 17 days, the Sydney Opera House sails will be illuminated by more than 50 light-art sculptures and large-scale installations and projections.
Catch the best views of the event at the newly redesigned Park Hyatt Sydney in the Rocks District, reopening in February. With its incredible views of the Sydney Harbor, you can have the best seat in the house in your own room!
The festival will also feature contemporary music performances at Vivid LIVE at the Sydney Opera House; international creative-industry conferences; and the new Vivid Ideas Exchange, a hub for creative ideas, discussion, and debate at the Museum of Contemporary Art.

The new suites will be spread among a new three-story villa with panoramic views not too far from the five new, intimate Pool Villas and new one- and two-bedroom Beach Villas. Decisions, decisions!

The Woodstock Inn & Resort now has a fresh new look, thanks to New York-based Alexandra Champalimaud & Associates, who have updated the Vermont country look with stripes, clean lines, and locally sourced furniture and art. ACA is adept at translating their understated, luxurious aesthetic to regional taste, creating an upscale environment without the fuss. (Other current Champalimaud projects include the White Elephant Hotel Residences on Nantucket.)
