2. Lunch on superyacht

3. Shopping at Paddington

Afterward do some shopping, from the Queen Victoria Building to the higher-end labels of Paddington, with a personal driver.

4. 10-course dinner at Tetsuya’s

Retire to the State Suite at QT Sydney before dinner at Tetsuya’s—a 10-course experience that will show you the best in Japanese-French fusion cooking—followed by some top-shelf whiskey at Baxter Inn.
