Stay Near the Lights at Hotel Woolstore 1888

Each winter, Vivid Sydney transforms the harbour city into a glowing canvas of light, music and creativity. From 22 May to 13 June 2026, Sydney comes alive after dark with spectacular projections, immersive installations and cultural experiences across the city.

Located just moments from Darling Harbour, Hotel Woolstore 1888 Sydney places you close to some of the festival’s most popular precincts. In an exciting new addition to Vivid, Darling Harbour will host spectacular drone light shows, with performances at 7:30pm and 9:30pm illuminating the harbour sky.

After exploring the lights, enjoying pop-up dining or watching the drone shows along the waterfront, return to the warm heritage surrounds of the hotel for a late drink or dinner at Percy before settling in for the night.

Discover more about the festival on our Vivid Sydney guide or view details of the Darling Harbour drone shows.
