Fantastic hotel! Highly recommended. ”
Possibly the best hotel I have stayed in. All staff went above and beyond everyday to make sure we had what we needed and enjoyed every minute of our stay. Each staff member from concierge, reception, restaurant and bar staff to housekeeping were so friendly and polite and nothing was too much trouble. The hotel itself is beautiful and rooms clean and luxurious with fantastic amenities. I can’t fault one thing! Fabulous location in Pyrmont with easy access to Darling Harbour, the cbd and ferries to Circular Quay. Also part of the Star Casino complex with many amazing restaurants at your doorstep. We will definitely be back next time we visit Sydney. Thank you for a fantastic holiday!

No doubts for the only 5 stars Forbes rating hotel in Sydney!!!”
My best stay ever for a long time. I booked the Jewel Suite and the room is bigger than the standard suites size of other hotel in Sydney. It is well presented, pristine, well-equipped and high tech with a view of stunning view Darling Harbour. We order In Room Dining service and it has no seconds delay. Food was served hot in a hot box and good portions and value. The next morning, we had breakfast at Sokyo Japanese Restaurant and We was spoiled by a birthday surprises by Liz and Milan. Thank you so much for making our stay memorable. We look forward to our next stay at The Darling!

Quick Stay”
We chose to stay here for my wife’s birthday. Staff were absolutely amazing. They couldn’t do enough for us. They upgraded us to the jewel suite and offered a late check out. The room was beautiful and very clean. Used to stay at the Sofitel for conventions, but I think I’ll stay here moving forward. Couldn’t fault it.

Spoilt Romantic Luxury ”
We booked a Darling Room and were surprised with an upgrade to a Jewel Suite. From the moment we arrived every single member of staff treated us as though we were special. Our room was huge and spotlessly clean. A large mini bar area with dining table and a large sitting area greeted us as we walked in. A huge TV was hidden as part of an art wall which divided the bedroom from the living area. On the other side of the wall was another TV. The bathroom was large with twin basins, freestanding bath and a separate shower room with rain shower. Breakfast in Harvest Buffet is a must. Everything from an omelette station to chocolate fountains to Icecream/sorbet machines. Yum. We dined twice in Black Grill as it too was delicious and the service outstanding. The location is great. A Coles outside the door, Darling Harbour and its attractions a stone throw away. Light rail station next door and ferries a short walk. We can't wait to return. Thank you to all staff for a beautiful stay.

Post wedding stay”
We stayed here before and after our wedding close by. Hands down the best service we have ever received from a hotel. Gave us complimentary champagne and decorated the room with flower metals without charge. When we needed things done frantically before our wedding events , they would sort it out without issue. We had many requests and they fulfilled all of them. They personally chaperoned us to wherever we needed to go. We felt like VIP. Amazing experience. And our jewel suite room was beautiful

Stunning Hotel..Exceptional Staff”
Great hotel with exceptional staff. All staff at the Darling were wonderful and you really feel looked after, right down to the valet putting water and mints in the car for the trip home. Pool area is beautiful, beds super comfortable and the whole property just smells divine.

5 star from arrival to checkout”
I was met with a cold bottle of water and happy concierge staff. The front desk staff were just as friendly. We were staying at the hotel for my husband's 60th. We were surprised to find out we were given an upgrade to a beautiful suite. Great location if you are seeing a show at the Lyric Theatre or if you want to have a flutter at the Star Casino. The room definitely warrants a 5 star rating. Nothing was any trouble for the staff of The darling Hotel. We will definitely visit again!

Loved it! ”
Staff were amazing! Made us feel like VIPs at every interaction! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐For the staff! Suite was spacious and clean but the "harbour view" wasn't amazing, facing 'the star' and pool, partially blocked off and cranes were ruining our view also.

Hanna at reception ”
What a lovely property “The Darling” This was our 10 year wedding anniversary weekend away without our kids. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by Hanna Yepanchyntsava at reception. She was calming in manner, extremely professional and her attention to detail was impeccable. We booked one of the standard rooms and was upgraded to a penthouse. We were so happy and shocked in excitement. The room was stunning and the in room dining experience was to die for. We will be booking this place again for sure.

Dual with spa ”
It was pretty spectacular if you are not accustomed to it. Very modern and romantic with a welcoming message on the TV, the spa was great beautiful view but I gotta that the best feature is the bed by far once I was in you couldn't get me out of it, especially with the phone next to the and roomservice on speed dial. 100% 5 stars

We have stayed in many 5star hotels in Sydney but the Darling outweighed all of them. The hotel is fresh and modern, staff were ALL amazing, friendly, professional and helpful, the suite we had was second to none with views to the harbour bridge. Highly recommend staying here
