The shangri-la is exquisitely placed in terms of views of sydney harbour and opera house. Knowing this, I think they probably pay less attention to service and quality of service. Food was alright, but very expensive. Facilities are on par with other hotels but nothing outstanding. Service is varied - excellent in some respects (e.g., the valet guys) but ordinary... more

While I certainly do appreciate your comments regarding our fantastic location and views, I was concerned to read that you found our food & beverage service and quality not up to standard.

July 09 was my second stay at Shangrila, thanks to my bf who always surprises me. This hotel is just magnificent in many ways, would recommend to anybody (although, I don't know how much it costs lol). Upon arrival at Shangrila, you are greeted by the concierge and the lovely people at the reception. We couldn't check in as we... more

I booked a Horizon Club room at the Shangri-La Sydney for the last night of our honeymoon as a surprise to my new husband. We had previously stayed at another hotel (which provided fantastic service) in the city at the beginnning of our honeymoon, we then went on a cruise and again received fantastic service so my expectations may have... more

We arrived in Sydney around 10am - the staff informed us that our room wasn't ready, but they went to great lengths to get it ready as quickly as possible. Check-in wasn't until 3pm, but we were in our room before 1pm. We got personalized service when the check-in agent walked our room keys over to us in the lobby... more

This was a great hotel!! Helped getting reservations at good restaurants, always available if there was problem with room. Rooms were good size for price, and staff was more than helpful. The gift shop and jewelers were amazingly friendly even though we didn't use their services that much, by giving us advice on where to eat, types of jewelry to... more

My husband and I stayed 2 nights at the Shangri-La Hotel. We made our reservation after reading reviews from different sources. We were NOT disappointed. We were able to check-in early since our room was ready. (we truly appreciated that especially after 20 hours in the air). Our room was located on the 31st floor with a view on the... more

we loved the location of this hotel but were a bit surprized by the attitude of the staff perhaps the boys cutt offs were the issue but we were staying in their top floor so this should not have been a problem. Hong kong Shang beats it hands down although the view from the restaurent is amazing. Laundry bill is... more

Stayed here for 3 nights as start of a trip to Australia / New Zealand. After a long flight from Ireland, we were shattered on arrival, and the bed was one of the most comfortable that I have ever slept in. Check in was very prompt, the room was amazing and we had gotten it at a very good rate.... more
