I stayed for six nights at this hotel -- it was my second stay at the Intercontinental in Sydney. I have stayed at many other hotels in Sydney. I was in a corner room with a full view of the Harbor Bridge. Unfortunately the Opera House view was partially blocked but I cannot complain. The hotel service was quick and... more

When we checked-in, late at night, we were disappointed to find that despite re-confirming by e-mail a few days beforehand, our reservation was incorrect. This was not the fault of the hotel but due to confusion at Priority Club over our Platinum Priority Club status and our more recent Ambassador membership. In a full hotel, this meant that they were... more

The location is extremely close to Circular Quay. The service was the best that I experienced in Australia and some of the best in the world. The breakfast buffet was also the best that I had sampled in Australia. The only negative is that appreciation in the Australian dollar has made the American dollar price of this hotel merely a... more

The intercontinental is about two long blocks from the Opera House, across the street from botanical gardens and their fruit bats, two blocks from circular quay [key], and a short 15 minute walks to Hyde Park, the Australia Museum, the fine arts museum, and the bridge among others. It is everything you would expect from an Intercontinental property. And, a... more

My third stay at this hotel for the year, which really is my favourite hotel in Sydney. Everything beautifully clean as usual and requests made with the reservation met. Very comfortable beds and pillows as always. Few minor issues with this stay though. Firstly, when checking in I encountered a problem with checking in as an additional guest, which I... more

I have shared your comments with our Executive Housekeeper and Director of Food & Beverage as the procedure is to start servicing rooms that have already checked out.

When filling in the guest survey form, I put a big line through the whole form and simply wrote - "Would not consider staying anywhere else in Sydney unless location was a factor". We stayed in club level accomodation, which is basically the normal room with King Size bed and access to the Club Lounge on the top floor. Club... more

This is a smashing Hotel and I am so pleased to see that it gets mainly very good reviews. This was my first 'big' holiday away with our two sons travelling basically 'solo' with... more

The InterContinental Sydney is in an excellent location right next to Circular Quay and very close to The Rocks as well as George Street and Pitt Strett Mall shopping. Darling Harbour is just a short and convenient ferry ride away. The room had an impressive view of the harbour bridge and a very comfortable bed. Furniture was in very good... more
