Hotel Picks in Sydney?


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone. I'm going on a 10 night Ovation of the Seas cruise to NZL next year and I arrive 6 nights before the cruise. My wife and I are looking at the different hotels in the area and a lot of them seem to have their own sets of pluses and minuses, but not seeing a clear winner based on reviews. Anyone have any favorite picks for hotel in Sydney pre-cruise? Right now we are considering the following options, but feel free to chime in with any other hotels or other areas of the city we should be considering. 

Crown Sydney 

Sydney Harbour Marriott at Circular Quay

Park Hyatt Sydney

Four Season Sydney

InterContinental Sydney

Out of those, I've stayed in both the Park Hyatt and the Marriott. Both are great. The Hyatt is nicer, but I am assuming you're finding a higher price. 

Also check out The Langham. As a curveball, my colleague tends to stay at the Little National Hotel and has the absolute best things to say about it. It's more mid-range in price and the rooms are smaller, but the location is still great.

Yeah. About double for Park Hyatt. Not a dealbreaker price wise if it’s worth the money. 
 

I’ll take a look at the others you suggested. Thanks!

The Four seasons would be the best if you can get a good deal.

It has some of the best harbour views in Sydney,

It’s steps away from the Rocks,light rail  (street car) , Circular Quay train station and ferry terminal  plus where you will board Ovation.

The rooms are on the small side but you will get that with most hotels. It has a excellent club lounge on one of the top floors.

It's definitely quite nice. I had a client put me up there twice and it was very enjoyable. Good location, good views, nice restaurant and bar. Last time I stayed there, I stayed across the hall from the (then) number one golfer in the world, so...there's no shortage of people with money staying there too haha. 

(Funny story is we actually sat across from each other on the DFW-SYD flight to get there, and then we opened our hotel rooms the next day to find us across from each other again)
