“My fave hotel in Sydney”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 22, 2013 NEW

I have stayed at Shangri-La twice now and its the only hotel i would consider for a special occasion such as an anniversary or Birthday. The staff are very attentive, the location is fantastic (5 mins walk to The Rocks and The Quay) and the rooms are awesome. Fantastic views of either Opera house and Quay or The Quay. Beautiful...

“Fantastic!”

Wow! What a wonderful hotel with awesome staff. We arrived to an upgraded room and were put on level 26 which was spectacular - speechless view of both the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. Also arrived to free champagne and chocolates. What a treat! We were only there for two nights and I wish we could have stayed a... More

“Fawlty Tower”

We stayed here for 2 nights the day before and the day of our wedding. The Good: 1. We got a suite that overlooked the harbour bridge and opera house. The view is awesome. 2. The room was large, nicely decorated and clean. The Bad: On checkin we were given a suite on a low level. Mind you this is... More

“Exceptional hotel - look no further!!”

If you're reading this review then you're probably looking for a decent hotel in Sydney with picture postcard views of the Harbour bridge and Opera House. Look no further! We stayed in a deluxe Harbour-view room (19th floor) for four nights in May and I can honestly say this is easily the best hotel I have ever stayed in. Our... More

“5 Star Accommodation and Service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 19, 2013 NEW

All aspects of our stay at this property met or exceeded our expectations. Situated on a steep hill high above the rocks, the hotel provides fantastic views of the harbour and ferry terminal. Would stay here again.

“Great stay, bang in the centre of town.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 18, 2013 NEW

Fautless service and rooms. Very comfortable generally. Excellent views if you get a room on the good side. DO try the bar on the top floor - worth a detour. Only down side - its a bit quiet in the immediate surrounds of the hotel...with the exception of the freeway.

“Outstanding Hotel, but beware of high meal costs”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 17, 2013 NEW

We stayed here for four nights. The rooms are luxurious and well-anointed. The beds are very comfortable and the A/C works very well. We stayed on the 21st floor and there was still some road noise. Black out curtains were very effective on those days we chose to sleep in. The location is close to city center, but the property... More
