Sydney is one of the world’s most attractive destinations due to its art, culture, beaches and famously sunny weather. On top of being a place to get out and about in, Sydney has an abundance of exquisite accommodation, you’ll never want to leave.
With hotels and resorts to suit everyone’s taste, and no shortage of ‘perfect’ locations, it’s easy to find something that you’re happy with; however, there are a select few elite choices that stand a head above the rest. These top Sydney establishments will leave you wanting nothing other than more time to holiday.
Starting with the crème de la crème of hotels, we have the Park Hyatt Sydney. This hotel, located right on Sydney’s famous harbour, has unrivalled views of the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge, and of course, the harbour itself.
Park Hyatt Sydney is world-recognised for its calibre and luxury, boasting the city’s most breath-taking rooftop pool, and decked out with every deluxe amenity you need. It is also home to Sydney’s most expensive and exclusive suite which includes a private terrace, spa amenities and butler service.
The hotel is not only a stone’s throw from the best museums, attractions and restaurants that the city has to offer but it also has excellent dining and hosts its own events which are not only exclusive but unique, ensuring a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Shangri-La Hotel is one of the city’s most popular hotels. The luxury hotel couples elegance and style with the added benefit of being situated in Sydney’s famously historical area of The Rocks.
Whilst in a much more accessible price range than The Park Hyatt across the way, Shangri-La is a fierce competitor, especially after its recent renovation in the last few years.
The revamped hotel, decorated with stunning marble and gold, offers an indoor pool and jacuzzi, as well as a spa. On top of these pampering options, Shangri-La hotel has not one but three excellent restaurants to choose from and is renowned for being child-friendly; an excellent choice of stay for families.
For those of you looking for something with an extravagant party vibe, then The Darling at the Star Casino is the perfect spot. Placed in the Top 60 Best New Hotels in the World by Condé Nast Traveller, The Darling has butler service, floor-to-ceiling windows, and private karaoke rooms; not to mention it is on the doorstep of the non-stop action of Sydney’s Star Casino.
When all the fun has worn you out, The Darling also has one of the finest spas and gyms in the city so you can pamper yourself and recoup before your next adventure.
The Park Hyatt, Shangri-La and The Darling are definitely toward the top of the list of Sydney’s best hotels, but if none of these is the perfect fit for you, then there are others of similar calibre that you can consider.
Also located in The Rocks is the Langham Hotel, boasting unrivalled fitness facilities and a central location. It is a great choice for the traveller who likes to stay on top of their active lifestyle whilst they are away.
If you’re looking for something a little further from the hustle and bustle of the CBD, but still enticingly close, then the InterContinental Double Bay is for you. It has beautiful rooftop views of the city that you can enjoy while lounging by the pool, before heading to their restaurant and spoiling yourself with their Al Fresco dining.
Sheraton on the Park and Four Seasons are also always great choices and renowned for their consistency and service.
Wherever you choose, you can’t pick a bad location; Sydney’s million dollar views are almost inescapable at any of these luxury hotels. All you have to decide is how exactly you want to treat yourself.
