“Relaxing, central, fabulous views”

2/2 found this review helpful

Had a weekend at The Intercontinental with a City View room on 27th floor (views of the city and West). Also lucky enough to have access to the Club Interconinental lounge which has fabulous service and one of the most stunning and priviledged views of Sydney I have experienced.

Location is fabulous... walking distance to all transport (train, ferry, bus), close to Circular Quay, opp the gardens for harbour walks.

Highly reccommend this hotel for a relaxing and pleasurable stay.

Only down-point was the pool which is small-ish, highly chlorinated, and it is just a bit of a shame that it doesn't have a higher ceiling.

“Great hotel, big and quite busy, but all good!”

Booked on Wotif and got package with late checkout, valet parking, king room and breakfast included. Good deal. Checkin was good, room service was good. Bed was very comfy and view over city was nice. Great location. Valet parking were quick to bring back the car even though they seemed very busy. Staff we dealt with were all excellent. Breakfast was delivered to room hot and at the time we requested. No problems at all. We had a lovely night here after wandering the Rocks and the Quay for dinner.

“Nice stay in Sydney”

InterContinental Sydney

4 of 5 stars
Seattle, WA

1/1 found this review helpful

InterContinental Sydney is a very good business hotel conveniently located a few blocks from the ferry terminal and train station at Circular Quay. Easy access to ferries to Taronga Zoo and Darling Harbor which is home to the Aquarium, Maritime museum and numerous shops and restaurants. Hotel pool is small, but provides nice views of the harbor. Exercise room is above average with a nice collection of cardio equipment. Staff was professional and graciously permitted early check-in to me and my associates at 8am which was greatly appreciated after flying 14 hours from the states.

“Great Style, Fabulous Service”

InterContinental Sydney

Jun 9, 2008

We stayed here for our 21st Wedding anniversary on 23rd and 24th May. We have been to the Cafe Opera Restaurant many times for Sunday lunch and as they had a great deal for breakfast, late 5pm check out and valet parking we grabbed it.

We were given a room on the 21st floor looking over the Botanical Gardens, we wanted a smoking room and the whole floor was smoking which was great. A complimentaty bottle of champagne to celebrate our anniversary was a fabulous touch and arrived in an ice bucket 10 minutes after we arrived. The room was clean, modern and the hotel is just very special. From check in to check out it was professional and efficient and so close to Circular Quay and the museums, art galleries, shopping and the botanic gardens! We would definitely stay here again, a nice part of town.

“Perfect time at the Intercontinental”

InterContinental Sydney

May 26, 2008

My husband and I stay at the Intercontinental Sydney for one night as a special treat on a weekend. We used TripAdvisor to make the choice of where to stay - and I am so glad that we 'listened' to everyone and booked the Intercontinental.
We booked a deal which included breakfast, valet parking and late checkout, which was terrific value.
The staff were absolutely amazing - everyone from the receptionist, to the porters, to the cleaners made a point of being kind, and asking us how our stay was going.
We had a room with a view of Watsons Bay - and it was worth spending a little bit extra to get it.
The breakfast was delicious, and the bed so comfortable. The plasma tv was also nice, with a good selection of channels to watch.
I would definitely stay there again, and it is the nicest hotel that I have stayed in, in Australia.
