Took my partner for a birthday weekend treat. I booked us into a deluxe darling harbour view room. The room was a little less than had been described, but we were on the 25th floor, so the view was excellent. (Beware of the very large construction site at Barrangaroo) with hindsight, I would go for the opera house side of... More

From the moment you step in the front door, you know your somewhere special. I was buzzed up to the horizon club to book in & this was completed within a minute or two. I was travelling solo, so opted to stay in the Horizon Club Opera House city view room for 3 nights. The room was awesome, although my... More

One of the most amazing hotels. Central for most sights in Sydney and excellent service. Buffet breakfast covered every possible requirement and suffice to say we spent quite a bit of time having breakfast each day. Great views over the harbour and the bridge was just a stones throw away.

The "harbour view deluxe king room" is relatively smaller than I would expect from other Shangri-la hotels and the view is not as good, but overall this hotel is of good value considering its location and its facilities. It is apparently one of the most popular hotel in Sydney - the reception checkout/checkin line is longer than 20 people when... More

Great room, great service and brilliant food. The breakfast is substantial. A number of choices of dinning venues. Rooms are large and immaculate. Fantastic location near the rocks. With great views over the harbour from rooms and top floor bar.

After 6 weeks in a camper van the prospect of a five star stay didn't disappoint in any way. We had a harbour view from the 23rd floor which was breathtaking. The room was spacious & comfortable with one of the most comfy beds ever. Service & assistance were excellent & staff couldn't have been more helpful. One disadvantage steep... More

It wasn't our first choice of hotel, but due to the Vivid Light Festival, we couldn't secure a room at our usual haunt. Everything happens for a reason (my wife keeps telling me) and I was very pleased I had to go with our 'second choice'. Pricey indeed, but no different to any other high end hotel in any world...

Beautiful hotel in a fantastic position. The rooms were well appointed, comfortable and luxurious with beautiful views. We especially loved the leather window banquettes which were perfect for sitting on to enjoy the view. However, all this fabulousness comes at a price! We had to book two rooms as we were travelling with three kids and this made the price... More
