About Plane Spotter Garden Bar @ The Branksome Hotel & Residences
Robey Street in Mascot, close to Sydney Airport, is home to The Branksome Hotel & Residences, and the hotel's rooftop Plane Spotter Garden Bar puts that location to work. Behind a glass edge, guests have a clear, direct view of planes arriving and leaving, with the city skyline beyond. The rooftop is set out like a garden, with artificial turf and low planter beds, small round tables ringed by an assortment of metal bistro-style chairs and low benches for lounging, and soft lamps on the tables at night. The furniture moves, so the space can be arranged for mingling or casual dining, holding 200 standing or 125 seated. Bookings are for evenings, from 5pm to 10pm, and the in-house catering covers halal, kosher and gluten-free menus plus a wide vegan range. Parking on site is free, there's wheelchair access, a PA and Wi-Fi, and guests flying in can take a room in the hotel below. It stands out for work functions, milestone birthdays and farewells for someone moving overseas.

This time round, we stayed there as a family of 5 for 4 nights. The (Wilkinson) suite was incredibly spacious, and the staff were kind enough to help convert the study into an extra bedroom for one of our children. One o…
