Superb resort with excellent staff”

The resort was not difficult to find as it has clear and frequent roadsigns along our way. Ample parking space and very friendly check-in and check-out staff. Although the Resort was still under renovation, disturbance to visitors was kept to minimum. Very spacious Resort interior with large Resort lobby except a little bit choking in the corridor to our room. Our room was larger than expected, with very nice bathroom amenities. We love the tea table and comfortable sofa next to our bed, and the in-room safe kept us feeling secured. The buffet breakfast served a variety of food and everything was fresh. Very nice restaurant setting with friendly staff. It was very foggy during our stay. The view from the Resort will be much better if the sky was clearer. We consulted the conceirge for our alternate daytrip plan and received sound advice. The conceirge listened to our concerns patiently and answered our queries professionally. Indeed the Resort was not very far away from the Leura village center and the Echo point in Katoomba then we expected. It only takes less than 10 minutes ride to Katoomba. The stay in the Fairmount Resort constituted a wonderful and memorable journey of ours in Sydney. We will definitely stay in Fairmont Resort again if we visit Sydney later, and we look forward to the brand new and rennovated Fairmont Resort!

Stone's throw from Chaos”

Wonderful location in the heart of the serene Blue Mountains, real quick drive or train ride from the chaos of Sydney. Well staffed, 24x7 support, Good and clean facilities. Food was reasonably priced and good options. Best part of the resort are the stunning views all around. Lots of activities for kids and adults alike. Definitely recommended for Sydneysiders and tourists alike.

Cozy room”

I think there were some negative comments on this hotel previously. Well, both myself and my boyfriend find it very satisfy to stay in a standard king room and would definitely return if we visit Blue Mountains again. It's a well managed hotel with indoor and outdoor swimming pool (outdoor pool were under maintenance during my stay). The bed and pillow (a few options to choose) are very comfortable. I wish i could spend more time there, it's a serene place to getaway from the hustle & bustle of the city. We can see that the hotel is working hard to gain their once very good reputation. Keep it up !!

Lovely Hotel, Great service, Perfect!”

We would recommend this property to everyone, its perfect for any occassion. The property has many facilities such as golf, pool, park, lake and its secluded and perfect resort facility in Blue Mountain region.

Nice resort with large room”

A nice resort. The room is large. But mine does not have any views. There are only trees directly outside our windows. There are others that overlooks the Blue Mountains or the golf course. 5 mins drive to Leura Mall, but rather inaccessible by walking.

A Lovely and Cosy Hotel”

The newly refurbished rooms were nicely and tastefully done, had dinner in the bar restaurant and the food was very nice and the service was good too. Will definately be returning to the Fairmont Resort in the future.

Fantastic surroundings, great beds”

We left our kids behind and came for a getaway. The hotel is actually quite child-friendly and has activities for children. We didn't try the Segway though it looked really interesting. Rooms are really comfortable and large, good beds and pillows. The breakfast buffet was really amazing, with a wide range of fruits and cereals, as well as cooked items. Good quality food and good service.We didn't try the other restaurants and regret that. The hotel is near the town of Leura which also offers a few choices of restaurants. It is a bit far to walk to, but a short drive away. The best part of being here, if you don't play golf, is being right near all the great walks down the valley, or on the cliff side.Get a good map to orient yourself. Routes are well marked.Reception didn't have much information, so may need to prepare yourself beforehand. According to the locals, the hotel has been under new management for about 2 years and things have greatly improved. New renovations are in place and there are many child-friendly rooms.

Mixed Feelings”

This seemed like the top hotel in Leura and at USD250, I thought I'd give it a try. It turned out to be alright. The room had been refurbished but the bathroom was too plain. I'm not saying it should be gold-plated, but simplicity and elegance can co-exist. Hansar Bangkok is an example with a great bathroom. Back to Fairmont, don't expect the facilities to be of 5-star. The changing room + sauna = something like that of a local government playground standard. The entire resort is quite old but they refurbished a lot of the stuff, yet not 100% of the stuff. The buffet breakfast made me happy. After all, I didn't get to explore the resort too much given the lack of time.

Fantastic Hotel with wonderful staff”

The hotel was wonderful from the minute we arrived the staff were helpful and welcoming. The pool and spar (2 of each) were great to relax and wile away the afternoon in. The views from the coffee lounge and restaurant are amazing. It is a great hotel to hide away from the hustle and bustle of the world and just sit and relax! Both my Husband and i loved being there and felt completely at ease in our soundings. The hotel is located close to Leura village which has amazing boutique shops and cafes to explore. we will be going back again soon!

Nice and cosy hotel ”

Staying at Blue Mountain for 3d2n. The resort is a bit old and run down. Staff is friendly and room is clean and decent. Near driving distance to Katoomba Village, Scenic World and Three Sisters. We had great time spending our holiday in the resort.

Hideaway not so far away...”

The resort is located at a very nice location, amazing view of the mountains. Staff were very polite and helpful, something I have found generally hotels lack in Australia. I highly recommend this place and even more if you kids. I really enjoyed the room with valley views as it really gives you a sense of the location.

The best hotel in blue mountains”

it was amazinggg..the room was big. it has 2 db beds, suitable for family. It surely worth the value of money. Best hotel in blue mountains for sure!

Comfortable 2-day trip”

The 2-day trip of Blue Mountains was memorable and this hotel is quite comfortable. The room is large and tiny, with a king-size bed. We enjoyed the swimming pools (indoor and outdoor) and the SPA facilities. The activity rooms for kids are interesting. The breakfast was quite great.

Great resort with great friendly helpful staff ”

My partner and I had a extreamly enjoyable stay. The rooms was great, comfortable nad everything we needed. Staff were extreamly helpful and happy. I had stayed at the Fairmont when I was a child and have not been for years and it was just as I remebered. I will be looking at returning in winter.

I expected more but room is a bit old.”

We stayed only for one night, we end up only resting in the room after the long hours of flight and train travel to Sydney then Blue Mountains. Speedy room service with good food. The room is quiet, spacious and clean, however is in need of a renovation. The carpeted floor leading to the room was stained with water marks. I expected more from a hotel of this standard. A little disappointed as we paid more for the courtyard room, but not only that there was no nice view, instead we found heap of leaves in the courtyard and cigarettes butts left on the table in our courtyard.

Resort close to scenic nature. ”

Hotel location close to most major attractions in Blue Mountain National park. Is only 10 min drive to Leura town where you can get plenty of small restaurants that offer local cuisine.

Great surroundings but hotel itself is old”

the hotel room is bit of old style, but bath room looks new. we could sit on the balcony of the restrautant, watching blue mountain when eating breakfast. there is lots of things to do, such as playing golf, tennis, swimming, hiking around.

A great hotel in the Blue Mountain”

A great hotel and relaxing stay, only problem we had was the limited parking space. For travelers to Blue Mountain (usually by car), there were very little parking space to cater for self drive holiday. Otherwise, great hotel with great view (must ask for the mountain view).

Overall it is nice resort.”

Overall it is a nice resort, we had two teenager girls, they liked all facilities in the resort. We had a little problem, the room we just checked in, it had strong smell of cigarette, found lots of cigarette butts outside the window sit. We wanted to change a room, but due to the busy time of the year, they couldn't give us another room,we only got two drink vouchers instead. Room was big with great blue mountain view.

Great location and the style matched the surrounds”

Enjoyed the stay very much. Great location amongst the beautiful blue mountains. The rooms had been refurbished and were big, modern with LCD tv and great views. Restaurant and bar served great food. Staff were friendly and willing to help. Not far from all the major attractions. Would stay there again and recommend to anyone
