I stayed at the QT for just one night last week. Due to a last minute work trip, there was not much accomodation available and the QT seemed to be the cheapest 5 star room in Sydney that night! I must admit that I was somewhat dubious after checking out the website - very busy and looked a little cheap (almost rent a room by the hour sort of look)? But I was so glad that I did stay. Without rehashing everyone else's comments about decor and service, I will say that those comments are spot on. The fitout is amazing and completely unique! The service was brilliant!
There are still a few teething problems but nothing you won't get over in a few minutes. When I rang for room service, no-one answered my numerous calls but when I rang reception, she took my order straight away and was very apologetic and friendly. The room service menu is very limited - this may be deliberate to get you out of your room and into the bars and restaurants on site. What I had was great though!
I have seen comments about only bar of soap in the bathroom and I found the same thing. Somewhat annoying when you have to keep moving the soap between basin and shower but not a big deal in the scheme of things.
The one thing that I do suggest they review are the pillows. All my pillows were foam pillows and far too fat. I much prefer the down pillows. A hotel of this calibre should have a choice of pillows, if not a pillow menu as well.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to justify the rates for future business trips but will definitely be booking in a long weekend for a personal trip! Overall, a fantastic stay and congratulations to the team behind this hotel.

How exciting to find a funky hotel in your own city that reminds me of something I have stayed at in Berlin, Athens or Nice.
Fantastic welcome, did valet parking, pulled up, jumped out, got greeted by happy girl in theatrical uniform and orange hair, lifts had cool snippets of music. Reception area full of fantastic wall design and cool lounges. We had booked a suite and were not disappointed. Comfy bed & pillows, cool art, loved the top hat night light next to our bed, great big bathroom beautiful.
Wherever you look in this hotel you will find brilliant interior design, from the entry, to the rooms, to the hallways to the restaurant.
Love the fact they included old parts of the original building, it really works.
The have put together an amazing selection of staff, every single one was surprisingly knowledgeable and very happy.
Cool bar area, great, simple wine and cocktail list, food in Restaurant seriously hard to top. Really affordable too for what you get.
I cannot remember the last time I had such an all around amazing experience at a hotel.
Would go back without a doubt.

I travel to Sydney a 2-3 times every 2 months on average. I tried the QT. It was stunning hotel, however the average nightly rate is just not something I can justify. Will be back for a special occasion or something.

Great beds, pillows, wonderful large bathroom and such. Elevators are cool too.

I have to begin by saying that my expectations for QT Sydney were very lofty indeed. Prior to our visit, we stopped by Tripadvisor to read reviews, and spent a lot of time pouring over the QT website. Despite this, our expectations were somehow surpassed.

We stayed only one night, but managed to get a great taste of all that QT offers. Beginning with a Skin Rescue treatment in their spa, it was clear that service standards were sky high, and without a word of a lie, the treatment itself was possibly the most enjoyable, seemlessly executed spa packages I've had the pleasure of partaking in. Hats off to the staff, specifically Lilly, the very brave spa decor, and the experience as a whole.

Next stop, check-in, even though it was before the 2pm check-in time. This was again, seemless, fast and friendly. On our way to our corner suite, it was a pleasure to take in the design detail. Arriving at our enormous, light, and gloriously appointed room, it was clear that the attention to detail wasn't just reserved for the common areas.

Undoubtedly, the thing to be most appreciated about the design of the hotel, is the integrity they've retained from the original Gowing's building. Remnants of these heritage details are in abundance throughout the hotel, and whilst this approach is unlikely to appeal to everyone, it's certainly appreciated by myself and my husband who have spent the last couple of years concerned with what would become of this treasured icon.

The food, and certainly the cocktails, were amazing. I love the fact that their integrity extends beyond design, and can be found in their procurement of produce and their proud support of biodynamic, organic and free range farming practices.

QT Sydney is a very refreshing, welcome addition to Sydney's hotel scene. Fun (did I mention the tailored soundtrack in the lifts?), quirky, and friendly, this hotel has no stuffy pretence, but a whole load of personality that is otherwise lacking. I for one will be on the look out for any and every excuse to return. Starting with a client dinner next weekend.

Love your works guys, keep it up!
