Things to do at Lilianfels

What's On

A new chapter will soon begin at Lilianfels Blue Mountains

Our iconic resort is embarking on a thoughtful refurbishment, designed to enhance every aspect of the Lilianfels experience. With refreshed interiors, renewed facilities and elevated guest spaces, the transformation will preserve the charm and heritage of Lilianfels while introducing a new era of style and comfort.

The resort will continue to welcome guests throughout the refurbishment, ensuring you can still enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the Blue Mountains as we shape the next chapter of Lilianfels, launching under the Ardour Hotels & Estates brand in 2026.
