InterContinental Sydney by IHG

Booked via Booking.com Type of room: garden view with Fort Denison views of the harbour Check-in: was smooth, courteous and fuss free. We arrived early at 11:00. Our bags were stored in their baggage locker and we were given access to their lounge in 31st floor. It was a self service place and had spectacular views of the Sydney Harbour, Opera House and Botanical Gardens. Room: our room was ready by 12:00(usual check-in time 14:00). It was well appointed and had all the amenities expected from a 5-star property. Surprise: I had mentioned my wife’s birthday when asked if there was any special occasion. Later in the evening, the staff delivered a beautiful 🎂 with a bottle of sparkling wine 🍾and a birthday wish card Check-out: time is 10:00. When requested, they allowed us to stay back until 14:00. Check out process to super quick. The front desk took our key card and emailed us the invoice. That’s it. Took 15 secs! Breakfast @ Conservatory: we availed of their in-house buffet as part of the room package. The spread was lavish with heaps of options. Avoid peak rush hour btw 0900-1000 as it gets crowded with wait times. Overall experience: wonderful luxurious stay. The location is perfect. 5mins from Circular Quay and Botanical Garden and 10-15 mins walk to Martin Place, Queen Victoria Building and shopping arcades on Pitt St and George St. Highly recommended and def coming back.

A grand building, beautifully renovated blending the old and the new. The room allocated was on the 30th floor, with great views of the Botanical Gardens and although not facing the Harbour Bridge or the Opera House, we had partial views of the harbour. Breakfast was also excellent, and very good value given the wide variety of hot and cold food, with melt-in-the-mouth pastries, cheeses and jams.

Room was fantastic. View was awesome, bed was divine, lovely toiletries, the staff were wonderful. Breakfast excellent. The concierge, Gregory Hillard was exceptional. He was so very helpful and understanding. A true gentleman with outstanding people skills. He made our stay even more fabulous.

Everything!! Customer service was exceptional from the valet parking staff, to front desk, to room service and finally the Aster bar staff. They were all fabulous. The facilities are exceptional, we used the Lounge area to wait until our room became available. We didn't use the gym or pool however visited both and were impressed with the variety and quality of equipment and warm clean water and views from the pool!! Next time I bring my swimmers and goggles!! Our room was superb! Harbour view King room number 2504 was stunning. We arrived and opened the door to a completely dark room. Within. Seconds the lights came on and blinds opened automatically to the most spectacular views of the harbour and botanical gardens! The rooms are superb clean and spacious with quality bed, pillows and linen. The towels and robes were perfect. Room service was delicious. We booked a table at the Aster rooftop bar after our event at the State Theatre. The cocktails were delicious and the staff were so lovely. The view was incredible! It is such a great spot, easily accessible to local attractions. We absolutely loved our stay and highly recommend to anyone wanting quality accommodation in Sydney.

Love the location, modernised interior, techy power points, dimmable lights, automatic window curtains, breakfast buffet, and the magnificent view of the Opera House, Darling Harbour, and Botanical Garden from the pool and gym. Staff are very nice too, especially the blonde asian lady at the conservatory
