Sydney's most iconic hotel to host exclusive dinner with top chefs

Join a one-night-only Park Hyatt dinner celebrating the past and present.

Sitting across the water from the world-famous Sydney Opera House, Park Hyatt Sydney is so much a part of a walk around Darling Harbour that it’s almost an icon of itself. A stunning stay at any time, a special dinner event to mark Park Hyatt Sydney’s 35th birthday is about to sweeten the deal for epicureans.

On Saturday, 28 June 2025, a special five-course anniversary dinner will be held in The Dining Room to celebrate the hotel’s culinary legacy, thanks to a rare 10-hands collaboration.

The Dining Room by James Viles has been hatted for its innovative dishes.

Revellers can expect a seasonal five-course menu (a free-flowing wine menu) curated by not one, but five top chefs who have each shaped the hotel’s gastronomic identity, the past and present will join together for an outstanding result.

Those chefs include the creative force behind the restaurant’s current concept: James Viles, executive chef Tyson Gee and executive pastry chef Callum Liddicoat. They’ll be joined by two guest alumni: Anthony Mussara, who has since led acclaimed venues including Stokehouse Melbourne and held senior roles with the Van Haandel Group and Scott Pickett’s restaurant group, and Alessandro Pavoni, now the chef-owner of a’Mare, Ormeggio and more.

And to make the night a feel-good event, a percentage of proceeds will be donated to Heart Research Australia, a cause personally significant to Pavoni.

The Dining Room provides a stunning backdrop.
