7 of the most luxurious hotels in Sydney

Sydney is one of the most iconic cities in the world and has a lovable charm of its own. It is home to popular sights such as the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Royal Botanic Gardens, and Bondi Beach among others. In the eastern hemisphere, it is one of the cities that has a collection of the finest hotels and despite being the oldest (and largest) city in Australia, it has a range of modern and ultra-luxe accommodations. Whether you’re travelling for pleasure, business, or a mix of both, here are 7 of the most luxurious hotels in Sydney that will treat you to only the best of what this beautiful city has to offer.

InterContinental Sydney

With 28 suites and many stylish guest rooms set inside the beautifully restored Treasury Building of 185, InterContinental Sydney not just has a picturesque façade but contemporary and world-class hospitality. Located in the CBD and nestled in Circular Quay, the hotel itself has been an icon in the area and has been treating guests to stellar service for over 35 years. Its recent $120-million makeover has refreshed the interiors, merging heritage glamour and modern style with rooms that offer amazing views of the harbour and the Sydney Opera House. On-site, guests can enjoy gourmet breakfast experiences at Conservatory Restaurant on the first floor, and even more flavourful meals at The Treasury. Seeking something more elevated? Aster is the hotel’s exclusive rooftop bar that offers artful dining and inspired cocktails with panoramic views of the skyline. InterContinental Sydney is sure to spoil you with a lavish stay.

Park Hyatt Sydney

Offering awesome views of the Opera House and the harbour, Park Hyatt Sydney places you amidst Sydney’s art galleries, luxury shops, and cafes. Be steps away from top destinations such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Circular Quay, and The Rocks Markets. After exploring the cobbled laneways and nearby attractions, take a dip in the rooftop pool with expansive views of the harbour, or get a pampering massage at the on-site spa. You can also indulge in world-class dining at any of the on-site restaurants which serve modern Australian food inspired by regional and coastal produce. End your day in any of the superbly comfortable rooms and suites that feature contemporary interiors. What we love about Park Hyatt Sydney are the private furnished balconies and terraces that come with the rooms and suites—a luxury of space in the city spoiling guests with iconic views enjoyed in your own private haven.
