Each of the elegantly appointed rooms and suites offer views that stretch across the harbour to the Pacific Ocean and west to the Blue Mountains, while dining experiences within the hotel are rich and varied ranging from award-winning Japanese cuisine at Unkai to exquisite Australian delicacies at The Rocks Teppanyaki.

Wow! What a great spot to watch the sunset. The views are amazing and the mocktails were delicious. Service is very friendly and you don’t feel rushed

Wow, what a wonderful stay at Shangri-La Sydney We stayed for three nights to celebrate my son’s 30th birthday, and the hotel helped make it extra special. His room was beautifully decorated with a Happy Birthday banner and balloons, which was such a lovely touch. At breakfast, he was also treated to a stack of pancakes with a candle, and the staff all sang Happy Birthday to him. Such a thoughtful gesture that made his birthday even more memorable. My husband and I stayed in a Grand Premier Sydney Harbour View Room, and the views of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge were simply breathtaking. Waking up to that view each morning felt almost unreal! Our room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and incredibly comfortable. We only wished we could have stayed longer! Breakfast was delicious, with an excellent choice of options to suit everyone. We also enjoyed dinner one evening at the Altitude Restaurant, where the food was delicious, the service was fantastic, and, once again, the views were absolutely incredible. A huge thank you to all the staff for making our stay so special, particularly during such an important family celebration. We would highly recommend Shangri-La Sydney to anyone visiting the city. A beautiful hotel, breathtaking views, wonderful food, exceptional staff, and a fantastic location. We had a truly memorable stay and would love to return.

Fantastic location (we walked or trained everywhere), clean and comfortable rooms with great views, if not a little dated. The highlight was the assistance from the Concierge Colin who could not do enough for us. I'd happily stay again in future.

We stayed here for 6 nights and loved it. We booked a Horizon club room with a view of the bridge and harbour which was amazing. The Horizon club room was lovely - very welcoming friendly team and lovely food and drinks. Breakfast was good with a great variety. We went to the main restaurant once for breakfast and there was a bit more choice if you want a hot breakfast or breads but overall we much preferred Horizon. We only had afternoon tea once - nice scones. The evening canapés are fantastic. It is a very wide selection of salads, antipasto, cheese and a few hot buffet items. I particularly liked that there was a wide selection of vegetable nibbles. If you want to you can have this j stead of dinner. In a great area too. I would definitely return. One tiny word of caution - it is in an elevated position so coming back to the hotel does involve steep slopes and/or steps.

Brilliant location, excellent views of Sydney Harbour and the Bridge and superb hospitality makes this hotel one of my absolute favourites. Our recent stay was made so special by Mark at the front desk who allocated us a beautiful suite and sparkling wine for our anniversary. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who delights in panoramic views of this magnificent city. Staying here delivers the quintessential Sydney experience.
