Reviews for Sofitel Darling Harbour

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Sofitel Darling Harbour — three nights initially, then another two after a short trip to the Hunter Valley. From start to finish, everything was seamless and genuinely warm. A huge thank you to Madeline, Philip, Annalisa, and the entire Club Millésime team — every single one of them was professional, attentive, and made me feel so well taken care of. The service via the WhatsApp concierge was especially impressive — quick, thoughtful, and always on point. The rooms were spotless and beautifully maintained. No matter what time I returned, the room was always refreshed and perfectly made up — something that’s easy to take for granted but really stood out here. Food and drinks at the Club Millésime lounge were excellent — high quality, varied, and served with genuine hospitality. All in all, Sofitel Darling Harbour really delivers the perfect mix of comfort, class, and care. I’ll definitely be returning!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Exceptional Stay at Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour Our stay at the Sofitel in Sydney, Darling Harbour was nothing short of amazing. The hotel truly is second to none — from the stunning pool area and state-of-the-art gym, to our beautiful room and the exceptional service throughout. I loved the self check-in process — so seamless and modern. The lobby was stunning, the location unbeatable, and every facility was immaculate. I honestly cannot fault a single thing. What really stood out was the level of service. Each day, after we’d head out to explore, our room was beautifully refreshed, and then again before we returned in the afternoon — such attention to detail! The hotel’s location made it so easy to get around — walking distance to the city, Chinatown, and even a short Uber ride anywhere else. I even managed to fit in a few sessions at Snap Fitness in Pyrmont, and one morning walked back from breakfast at Bill’s in Surry Hills with ease. Sydney will always have my heart, and Sofitel Darling Harbour made this visit truly special. I wish our stay could have been longer. Highly recommend and would absolutely stay again. Thank you to the incredible Sofitel team for a flawless experience. 💫

We had a wonderful stay at Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour. The hotel itself is beautiful and very well kept, with elegant, comfortable rooms that made our time there so enjoyable. The staff were fantastic—welcoming, attentive, and always happy to help. We were there for a conference, and the set up was excellent—everything thoughtfully prepared from tables and stationery to the little details like mints. The absolute standout was the catering. The food was incredible and definitely one of the highlights of our experience. Highly recommend for both business and leisure stays.

Lovely and classy looking hotel. The environment was well kept and clean, well done to the cleaners. Nice mix of corporate and family patrons checking in during the week and weekend. Facilities like the gym was great, however I did not get a chance to use it along with the relaxation centre. The pool was nice, but with the construction directly across - it was an ABSOLUTE eyesore. Preferred more shade for the kids, so perhaps some pool umbrellas would suffice. Housekeeping was fantastic and prompt, so well done to them. This time the service was a total let down. Upon arrival, front desk made it clear that ‘no request was too difficult’ and quote ‘make it our problem’ which was impressive and I felt an ease and a sense of excitement that my family was in good hands. During our first night stay, we wanted to request room service after a long day. We contacted concierge who took our order, but when we requested a simple High Chair for my daughter, the answer was ‘we don’t have high chairs’. I was in shock/baffled that a 5 star hotel with multiple bars and restaurants did not have a single high chair available for children. Interestingly, during my stay I could confirm seeing ALOT of young children running around especially around the pool. As mentioned, for a well respected hotel like Sofitel. ‘No, we do not have high chairs’ was the last thing I expected. I was very disappointed that there was not even a consideration to borrow one from the many restaurants internally? I think more understanding of the environmental demographic staying at the vicinity would be considered, but severely disappointed at the lack of effort made. I was advised by front desk that Sofitel Darling Harbour was the flagship. Based on my experience, I think Wentworth Sofitel should be the flagship as they were more than happy to assist on all my requests during my stay. Perhaps training front of house staff on managing expectations would be high on the priority list moving forward.

Amazing stay! I was on holiday with mom and stayed here. The room was: Luxury 1 king size bed corner Harbor view room. Facilities like gym and pool has easy access. The view from my room will be excellent if only there’s no ongoing construction outside. But anyways, it was a very good experience. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Easy self checkout. Recommend 👍🏻
