Up the Mardi Gras energy with a margs cocktail trolley and Stay & Slay sleepover
If your Mardi Gras plans are still hovering somewhere between just one drink and an all-in glitter-fuelled weekend, Kimpton Margot Sydney and Hotel Indigo Sydney Potts Point have you covered.
Margarita trolley, happy hour & DJs at Kimpton Margot Sydney
For those who like their Mardi Gras experience with good company and a salted rim, five-star Kimpton Margot Sydney in the CBD delivers, offering both vintage Art Deco glamour and summery rooftop bar sessions for diverse experiences perfectly suited to the occasion.
Perched high above the city, Harper Rooftop Bar is Sydney’s largest open-air rooftop bar, offering a chic poolside escape with skyline views, Mediterranean-inspired bites and cocktails. Golden Hour runs every Thursday 5pm-7pm, pouring $10 proseccos and $15 Aperol spritzes, while the resident DJ spins 4pm-8pm on Fridays and Saturdays, creating the perfect pre-party energy as the sun dips behind the city skyline.
Back on ground level in Wilmot Bar, the all-new Margot’s Margs Trolley adds another layer of fun with a roving margarita experience running Monday to Thursday 4pm-6pm alongside happy hour. Enjoy creative pours like the Black Sesame & Yuzu Margarita, Charred Pineapple & Cinnamon Margarita and Kaffir Lime & Hot Honey Margarita, alongside classic margs for traditionalists.

Stay & Slay at Hotel Indigo Sydney Potts Point
For festival-goers wanting to stay at the heart of the action, Hotel Indigo Sydney Potts Point’s Stay & Slay package places Mardi Gras front and centre.
Tucked behind the iconic Coca-Cola sign just moments from the parade route, this boutique, vibey hotel provides the perfect launchpad, channelling the neighbourhood’s storied past as a playground for artists, performers and outsiders. A red velvet-curtained lobby and interiors filled with neon accents, pink furnishings and bold artwork nod to the area’s bohemian spirit and LGBTIQ+ heritage, setting the tone from arrival.
Starting from $595* per night, the hotel’s Stay & Slay package includes a Harbour View Room stay, breakfast for two, and cocktails on arrival. Available for stays between now and 28 February 2026, this package is designed for revellers looking to step from their room straight into the colour and celebration of Mardi Gras.
