Lilianfels Blue Mountains Resort & Spa

The location is amazing and I particularly liked the Christmas vibe in July, winter time. The lounge is super cozy and it feels like home.

Everything was brilliant apart from the time it took to get the tea and coffee at breakfast. Room was lovely (and huge) the ambiance was very refined and relaxed, the food in the lounge was exceptional.

We loved the location and our Executive Suite room with a fabulous view of the Jamison Valley! One member of our party also had a very well appointed accessible room on the ground floor. The indoor swimming pool was great, while the decor thoroughly reflected a cosy, English style, good for winter in the mountains.

The room was comfortable, quiet, and spacious, with a classic design that added a touch of charm. The bathroom was well-equipped with both a bathtub and a shower. We stayed for a couple of nights just before the school holidays, so we had the chance to enjoy all the facilities such as swimming pools and a pool table without the crowds. The building itself is beautiful and elegant, surrounded by lush gardens, and located in a peaceful area—yet still very close to the main tourist attractions and walking routes. It struck a perfect balance between tranquility and convenience. The staff were exceptionally polite and always helpful, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The buffet breakfast offered a good variety of options, including hot dishes, cereals, fresh vegetables and fruits, pastries, and even a juicer for fresh juice. A great start to each day!

The location of the hotel is perfect for easy access to the Echo Point view point overlooking the spectacular blue mountains, which can also be enjoyed from the hotel lounge and many of the rooms. My room was extremely spacious and comfortable, clean, airy and beautifully decorated and furnished. I enjoyed a lovely meal and a cocktail which was efficiently delivered to my room and the empty tray collected upon request. The bathroom was clean and well equipped with luxurious bathroom essentials, a shower and a lovely bath to soak the aches of the day away after climbing up and down the various, easily accessible board walks to see the falls and ravines and enjoy a little retail therapy in the well stocked local gift shops, bars and eateries. The journey by train from to Katoomba was comfortable and straight forward and the 10 minutes bus journey stops right outside the hotel entrance. I treated myself to a very thorough and relaxing massage and facial after using at the hotel spa facilities, where Karina was my therapist and is strongly recommended. I can't speak highly enough of the Lilianfels Hotel and Spa and all it has to offer.
