A new hotel puts us in good stead to achieve the goals of Byron’s famous sign, “Cheer up, slow down, chill out”.
The blue-faced honeyeater has the right idea, making herself at home between huge green fronds in the meticulously landscaped gardens of the new Swell Hotel.
After settling into our sumptuous room – replete with a king-size bed, accordion-style windows that open out to a sitting area, arched reading nook, rain shower and 1970s bohemian-inspired shades of pink velvet, light timber and natural stone – we exhale. Do we start with a cuppa in the guest garden or partake in cocktails beneath the tiki-style umbrellas in the courtyard? Both.
The only guests we encounter are two young men from Panama. Blissed out on sunshine, we swap stories about fishing, container ships and surfing.The Jonson Lane precinct is the latest treasure trove expansion of the stylish Byron footprint. We explore it before lunch at Asian diner Light Years, which was once at Smoking Camel’s current spot on Lawson Street.
