Following a spectacular recent revamp, the Summit is finally attaining heights worthy of its name. Its minimalist, Space Odyssey-inspired interior features the kind of modernist furnishings-including chairs by Eero Saarinen and Knoll-that will make style mavens salivate. The cuisine will get your mouth watering too. Devised by British-born chef Michael Moore, who has notched up stints at top Sydney restaurants like Bennelong and Prunier's, the menu celebrates the freshness of Australian produce with signature dishes like...

Better yet, stay in town--at L'Horizon, where Marilyn Monroe always took Room 3C, or at Herbert Burns' 1957 Orbit In, which has been meticulously restored and impeccably decorated with furnishings by mid-century icons Charles and Ray Eames, Eero Saarinen and George Nelson. It's hard to imagine another hotel whose devotion to style is so intense. The guest lounge is named after a local architect (the ubiquitous Frey), sports vintage photographs of his work (by Shulman) and invites visitors to simply look out the window for the best view...
