Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Australian rendezvous: Couple shack up in $16,300-a-night presidential villa of Sydney’s swankiest hotel, Crown Towers in Barangaroo
Taylor Swift and boyfriend Travis Kelce are sparing no expense for their overseas reunion in Australia, with the two shacking up at one of Sydney’s swankiest and extravagant hotels.
The pop singer and the NFL star are staying at the posh Crown Towers, the city’s first six-star hotel, located in the harbor-side neighborhood of Barangaroo, during Swift’s four-day stop in Sydney for her Eras Tour.
With upscale restaurants, lavish facilities, and high-end amenities throughout the property, the venue boasts a guaranteed luxurious experience, something both Taylor and Travis are more than used to.
Yet, the loved-up couple still opted for the most opulent – and priciest – room the hotel has to offer – the Crown Presidential Villa.
The palatial residence is so ritzy, guests are required to inquire for its nightly rates, which typically starts at an eye-watering $16,300 (AUD$25,000) a night.
Billed as the property’s largest villa at 860sqft, two-story hotel room is situated on the 88th floor and features a stunning panoramic views of Sydney and Sydney Harbour through its floor-to-ceiling windows
The first floor features an expansive living area, kitchen, bar, pool table, and a media room for entertaining.
A dining room comfortably hosts up to 10 people and there is also a fully equipped office and butler’s quarters.
Meanwhile, the second floor includes a spectacular master bedroom features a spacious bathroom complete with a marble spa bath and steam shower.
A second king-size bedroom features a deluxe ensuite, with the luxury extending to the fitness room complete with infrared sauna. An open-air terrace comes with a heated, private infinity pool.
The 275 meter (902ft) tall complex towering over Sydney, which opened at the end of 2020 after four years of construction, also has an impressive selection of fine restaurants and bars, including famous Japanese eatery and celebrity hotspot, Nobu, owned by renowned chef Nobu Matsuhisa.
The Crown Sydney, also known as One Barangaroo, was developed by Australian billionaire James Packer through his former company Crown Resorts, which was later acquired by US firm Blackstone in 2022.
Packer, 56, sold his stock in Crown for $3.3billion and has been living among his various residences abroad in recent years.
Travis was spotted settling into the hotel room on Thursday, shortly after touching down in Australia where he’s supporting his superstar girlfriend during her sold-out Eras Tour.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, arrived in Sydney via a private jet as he supports the global megastar amid her sold-out Eras tour shows.
Photos obtained by DailyMail.com showed Kelce admiring Sydney’s landmarks from a lavish room, which boasted the same modern array of lights as the presidential villa.
The pair were later seen playing tourists in the Harbor City, even taking a trip to the Sydney Zoo get up close and personal with some the country’s exotic animals.
The global superstar was the epitome of casual cool as she enjoyed her romantic reunion with her hunky boyfriend following his Super Bowl win.
The Shake It Off hitmaker cut a casual figure on the day in a pink singlet paired with a denim miniskirt and blinding white kicks.
She wore her blonde locks tied back for the outing, and hid her famous face behind designer shades.
Meanwhile, Kelce allowed his athletic frame to shine through in a navy tee and patterned shorts and white trainers.
He completed his look with a white cap, and wore a chain around his neck.
At one point the couple were spotted leisurely strolling, with their arms wrapped around each other lovingly.
It’s not the first time Taylor has visited the wildlife park, located in Sydney’s Greater West
On Wednesday Taylor looked like a kid in a candy store, as she ran from one enclosure to the next, snapping away on her camera, when she got up close and personal with some of Australia’s most famous animals.
She was a far cry from the stadium selling artist her fans have come to love, as she opted to bleed into the background with other paying customers.
Taylor was joined by several of her bandmates and dancers in the park which is home to over 4,000 animals.
She appeared to take a liking to the Tasmanian devils on the day, where she looked on with amazement.
Sydney Zoo is located at Eastern Creek, 40 minutes from the Harbour City’s CBD, and an adult tickets costs $44.99 AUD.
Later in evening, Taylor and her entourage were seen enjoying a very swanky meal at Japanese restaurant Nobu inside Crown Sydney, where she is staying.
She made the most of her night off with fellow singer Sabrina Carpenter, who is currently supporting Taylor on her sell-out Eras Tour.
The Girl Meets World star dazzled in a red minidress with white fringe detailing and simple back tights.
Sabrina accessorized her look with a classic Louis Vuitton handbag, and carried a black leather look jacket to protect herself from the unpredictable Sydney weather of late.
Taylor is currently enjoying time off in Sydney after her Eras Tour took Melbourne by storm, selling out three days at the famed MCG.
Swift is set to perform four shows in Sydney from Friday, February 23 through to Monday, February 26
