Ultimate Relief!

Pros: Customer Service and breakfast buffet
Cons: Fan noise in room and concierge knowing airline numbers and telling you that 800 numbers are Not free calls thru the hotel phone.
Location: Very close proximity to all. No taxi needed except at night.
We had just come off of a HORRIBLE Princes Cruise and were really in need of some TLC. Intercontinental was great! However, paying the highest amount I have EVER paid for a normal Martini and Bloody Mary with generic Vodka was a shock! The hotel was very expensive and I have stayed at the best of them. However, I still say it was wonderful service and a lovely room and the Breakfast Buffet was magnificent!

I feel very comfortable and at home at this hotel.

Pros: Quiet
This is the third time in four years that I have stayed at the Sydney Intercontinental after the long flight from the USA. I particularly like the fact that one can walk to the area around the Opera House and the Rocks and yet it is situated in a very quiet area of the city. Our room has always been available on arrival in the morning, which is certainly very welcoming. We found a very good place for breakfast nearby, and there are so many restaurants around the Opera House and the Rocks. I would have no reservations abut recommending this hotel to one and all.

Wonderful view of the Sydney Harbor

Pros: Quiet
Cons: No free Internet
We spent our last night in Australia at the Intercontinental. It is centrally located, within easy walking to the water taxi quay, the Botanical Garden, and the Opera House. While the room was small, space was efficiently utilized, with a lovely window seat. I got spectacular night time pictures of fire works over the Harbor and Opera House. I look forward to a return visit.

Excellent location and great hotel

I stayed at this Intercontinental the weekend of Feb 21st this year. What a great hotel and right in the heart of everything. It's just a block up the hill from Circular Quay and walking distance to everything from the Opera House, Harbor Bridge, bars, restaurants and shops. The hotel is very clean, staff were excellent & very helpful. We arrived before check-in time and they gladly held our luggage in a locked room and told us when a room was available they would bring our bags right up to the room for us. Concierge was also extremely helpful when looking for restaurant recomendations as well as help with accessing the onsite business center. The doormen were very pleasant and helpful with cab service and honest info on cab prices to the casino and airport. Around $30 in a cab and 15-20 min ride to the airport with no traffic. I have to say the view was why I booked this hotel for the Harbor Bridge view. We had the bridge view room and it was just amazing. The higher the floor you are located the better as there's another bldg in front so you have an angled view if you're lower. The beds are extremely comfortable and I've never slept so well. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone and will stay there on my next trip over. The only thing I didn't care for & is minor was the inflated wireless internet price at around $20-$25 for 24 hrs.
