The property is very luxurious. Cannot complain about the hotel etc. The room was huge and great. Staff also excellent Breakfast excellent however room service food was average. The bed is extremely soft and i sunk in my spot - poor sleep as a result. They also only provide one doona - no sheet and it was either boiling hot (with donna on) or freezing (with doona off). There was also a sensor light that came on in the middle of the night if you got out of bed - two each side of the bed under the bedside table and one in the bathroom - NONE of them turned off for at least ten minutes and this isnt an exagerration. Had to ask reception to disable the sensor - not sure if they did as we resorted to coverind the sensors with pillows. The hotel is great - the food hit and miss, the sleeping conditions terrible.. Would I return? Not for the price

Classy, arty vide, excellent food, great customer service. Exceptional renovated heritage building in the heart of the Sydney CBD. There seemed to be more staff than guests and they went out of their way to say hello and ask if you needed anything. On arrival we were given a short tour of the hotel and explained how the "Living Room" is a communal area with concierge and wait staff who serve complimentary snacks and refreshments including a cocktail or wine between 4:30pm and 5:30pm. Needless to say that was very popular with the guests! The indoor pool (25 deg C) and gym area is first class and included a big spa pool (35 deg C), communal sauna. Plus mens and womens bathroom each included a sauna, steam room, and experience shower. I liked the creative Australian theme, mood lighting, art pieces and wall garden. Our stay was very calming and felt refreshed afterwards.

Beautiful Classy Hotel, excellent location

A beautiful hotel, the decor & styling made it feel homely, on a grand scale. The rooms are a good size & well appointed with lovely bath & toiletries. Dyson hairdryer etc. The gym, pool sauna & steam area is superb, you could easily spend 3 hours in the wellness space. The qrcode to gain access to a Pilates workout is great. The Library offer afternoon free drinks from 4:30_5:30 which was pleasant. Staff are professional & kind. Breakfast which was incl was high quality & a beautiful environment. It is expensive to stay so I suppose you expect something great, especially as there’s no harbour views (well from our 2nd floor room) I’m gold level with Hotels.com which means room upgrade, early late checkout, if available. I wasn’t acknowledge or offered any of them & not one to ask (if you don’t ask you don’t get) Another strange thing, we wanted valet but missed & didn’t see entry so drove around block & ended up parking at Wilson’s car park next door. There’s no doorman so you struggle with your bags up stairs then look for reception. The same when you leave. You pay your account then you’re off on your own to exit… I found it a little strange Location is perfect for Sydney CBD
