Step back in time through one of the most iconic spaces at The Carrington ✨

Our Billiards Room has long been a place for guests to gather, relax and enjoy the unique atmosphere of the hotel. From this beautiful image captured around 1915 by photographer Harry Phillips, to a 1985 Sydney Morning Herald photograph, and most recently in 2022 by Liam Foster, the room has seen more than a century of stories unfold.

While the furnishings and styles have changed over the decades, the character and charm of the space remain wonderfully intact. The original details, grand proportions and timeless elegance continue to make the Billiards Room a favourite part of the hotel.

Do you have old photographs or memories of The Carrington you’d like to share? We’d love to see them in the comments or sent through to us 📸🏛️

Mulled Wine is back at The Carrington 🍷✨

There’s nothing quite like settling in by the fire with a warm glass of our mulled wine as the mountains cool down outside.

There is something especially meaningful about receiving handwritten letters from our guests.

This beautiful note arrived following a recent stay at The Carrington, and it truly made our day. In a fast-moving digital world, taking the time to put pen to paper is incredibly thoughtful — and deeply appreciated.

To our wonderful guests, thank you for your kind words and for choosing to stay with us in the Blue Mountains. Messages like these are a reminder of why we love what we do. ✨

Today is all about celebrating the women who shape our lives in countless ways 💐
The ones who nurture, inspire, support, and somehow make it all look effortless.

However you’re marking the day — gathered around the table, raising a glass, or quietly reflecting — we hope it’s filled with meaningful moments and a little indulgence.

Happy Mother’s Day ✨

❤️

Still not sure what to get Mum this Mother’s Day?

Turns out, most mums aren’t looking for 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 — they’re dreaming of a little time away. A slow morning, a beautiful meal, a change of scenery… something to enjoy, not just unwrap.

If you’re stuck for ideas, a Carrington experience might just be the kind of gift she’ll truly remember 🤍

Our gift certificates can be used across everything at the hotel — from a weekend escape, to a long lunch or dinner, or even something special from our Cellars & Deli. You can choose any value, add a personal message, and send it instantly (or schedule it for the day).

A simple gift, with plenty to look forward to
