Echoes' Restaurant and chic new bar is perched at the absolute edge of the World Heritage listed Blue Mountains National Park, with views of mountains, cliff edges and lush rainforest valleys right through the Jamison Valley to Mittagong, 80 kilometers away. The dining area truly is divine with an opulent, yet warm and inviting ambience. Featuring bare stone walls, open fire places, upholstery of dark rich fabrics, gilt framed mirrors and gloriously well spaced tables draped with crisp, quality linen.

Kids menu is also available.

"Excellent service, lovely waitresses made us feel very comfortable. The food was incredible, very delicious. Would love to return and recommend to friends and family."

"Only a little experience with lunch for 6 pax. Some dishes where overpriced, ie. a plate of nudels with two slices of smoked salmon for $ 35.00. But overall impression very favourable, especially with our oversea's guests. Will come a gain and stay in the hotel for a few nights" more reviews

Overall 8.5 - Food 8, Ambience 10, Value 8, Service 8

We were entertaining visitors from the States and wanted a restaurant that had a great view. Even though it was a foggy day, we thoroughly enjoyed dining at Echoes. It was recommended to us and we will certainly recommend it to our friends in the future. We loved the entry and the ladies' toilet. In fact the whole decor was lovely as was the garden.   (February, 2008)

"The days are getting long again, so what about lunch in the mountains served in a member of The Small Luxury Hotels of the World Group overlooking a World Heritage landscape? That’s what on offer in Echoes Restaurant in the hotel of the same name in Katoomba, only 90 minutes’ drive from Sydney’s CBD. Mount Solitary and the Jamison Valley form the bulk of the view from the restaurant’s terrace."

Elisabeth King, Winetaste Magazine - September 2006
"Located near Echo Point on the escarpment with a terrace and conservatory overlooking the Jamison Valley. Luxury boutique accommodation."

Sally and Gordon Hammond, Australian Regional Food Guide - January 2005
