Charming, great views & good service
Excellent service, old world charm & impeccable focus on details makes this hotel one of the best in Sydney. Pool & Spa facilities were good.

Avoid at all costs
Booked a harbor view room. Spent 4 days looking at buildings. The only view was from a narrow corner window if walked up ro it and peered at an angle. Absolute rip off.

2 night stay review
Hotel amenities and views were 10/10, staff was very formal but helpful, would not recommend the food however. Breakfast was the same daily and I received undercooked chicken in my room service.

Not quite there
It's a bit hit and miss, Shangri la service is excellent. We booked a king opera house and got room 419, level 4, could only see the top of the sails of the Opera House from the bedroom, pretty disappointing and bathroom was for mobility impaired people, curtains no screens whish allowed water to go all over the floors so unable to shower and change in the bathroom. overall room size was good but yes its dated so for $500 I feel there's better. Breakfast was very good and the views from the bar is excellent. Was there for our wedding anniversary so feel you can find better

⭐ A Truly Exceptional 25th Anniversary Stay at Shangri-La Sydney
We had an amazing stay at Shangri-La Sydney for our 25th wedding anniversary and were genuinely impressed by the level of service and luxury throughout our stay. The Horizon Club was a real highlight — stunning views, excellent food and truly attentive service. Breakfast was exceptional, especially the omelette, which was honestly one of the best I have had anywhere despite travelling extensively throughout Asia. Housekeeping was also outstanding. Our room was beautifully serviced in the morning and then attended to again later with evening turndown service, which gave the whole stay a true five-star luxury feeling. What stood out most was the consistency of the service. The staff made us feel welcome, valued and well looked after from start to finish. The hotel may have a more classic style than some newer Sydney hotels, but the overall experience felt genuinely luxurious, comfortable and special. We left extremely happy and would definitely stay again.
