InterContinental Hotel, Sydney

A great upmarket city centre hotel. Rooms are modern and decent sized. Hotel facilities are 5* standard including a very well equipped gym. It is just a 5 minute walk away from Circular Quay or up to George St and the shops. Only negative is that you have to pay for internet access in your room.

Great hotel for location. Room was largish with very comfotable bed and excellent linen but bathroom was not overly modern. Bathroom had oldish fittings and shower curtain with shower over the bath. The hotel were accommodating with an early 7am check in from an international flight which was much appreciated.

We booked this hotel because of its central location, since we were traveling with two elderly people with walking difficulties. The hotel is opposite the Botanical Gardens and just 300 meters from Circular quay where the ferry's depart. The hotel was very stylish with a cosy bar on the ground level, rooms with beautifull bathroom (coming with slippers and bathrobes) and the service (valet service, reception, housekeeping)was just perfect.We didn't pay extra for bayview, but the city-view was really nice as well, try to get a room on a higher floor for a better view. We were on the 12th floor and the view was nice. We didn't have breakfast in the hotel as we thought it was quite expensive (AUD 50 for a buffet), but there were lot's of nice breakfast and dinner places close to the Harbour. If you like swimming with a view, try the pool at the top floor! p.s.: we did't eat at the hotel.
