InterContinental Sydney

Beautiful clean hotel in a great location. Lovely spacious room with a bench seat along the window that we used for our suitcases and to spread out. Great rain shower and beautiful bathroom. The lights are not separate; in other words you can’t turn off the overhead lights and leave the bedside light on. They’re either all on or all off. We didn’t realize that there is no Do Not Disturb sign- instead there is a light near the doorway that you flip on for privacy. We enjoyed the kettle for tea and the Keurig for coffee. Housekeeping was generally good, but a little extra attention could be paid to the TV stand where fried coffee from a previous guest was never cleaned. We asked for washcloths (facecloths) and received hand towels the first time and washcloths the second. I’m guessing that they are not prevalent here -like Europe. Fabulous breakfast. All of the employees were helpful and kind, but we wanted to mention the lovely smiling Feline, a Dutch student working in The Treasury bar. It is too bad for the hotel that she will eventually return to The Netherlands to resume her studies.

Fabulous stay at the Intercontinental Hotel Sydney. Amazing views from our very comfortable room. Breakfast was wonderful with so many choices and very attentive staff. We celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary and we couldn't have been happier. A short stroll to Circular Quay and the trains, ferries and light rail. Restaurants all around with such great choices. We dined at Cafe Sydney and it was amazing. The food was heavenly. So easy to be a tourist and take in the history of the Harbour and the Rocks area. Old pubs with so much charm. Loved it all.

We stayed in the Harbour Bridge view room, which offered stunning views. The bed was comfortable, and the room was a good size. The reception staff were efficient and friendly, and luckily, our room was ready earlier. The only negative I have to mention is my experience at the rooftop bar. I went upstairs to see how busy it was while my wife was in the room getting ready, but the girl at the door told me I wasn't allowed to enter the bar to look around. When I asked why, she said they don't like people going in and taking photos, then posting them on social media. I reminded her I was a guest of the hotel, but she said that didn't matter. This is utterly disgraceful, and I have never encountered anything like it before. Shocking!

A wonderful stay - the staff are so helpful and go above and beyond. Great food, gorgeous rooftop bar, and clean, luxurious rooms. I won’t stay anywhere else in Sydney now.

I always choose the Sydney InterContinental whenever I visit Sydney, and for good reason. This hotel consistently delivers an outstanding experience on every front. The food is simply excellent, and the breakfast is honestly among the best I’ve ever had. The rooms are equally impressive—always spotless, very comfortable, and offering great views. The service is top-notch, with staff who are incredibly courteous and always make you feel welcome. In particular, I want to highlight the breakfast team—Karem, Sanskriti, and Ben—who made each morning a delight with their warm and attentive service. One of the best parts about the Sydney InterContinental is its unbeatable location. It’s within walking distance of the Sydney Opera House, the beautiful Royal Botanic Garden, Circular Quay, Darling Harbour, St. Mary’s Cathedral, and the Queen Victoria Building. You can easily explore some of Sydney’s most iconic spots just by stepping outside the hotel. Overall, it’s my go-to hotel in Sydney for a reason. Highly recommended!
