We just had a night in the city for my wifes birthday. It has been many years since we had stayed at he Intercontinental and we were blown away by how much it has changed - updated rooms, great service, great amenities. We had several hours enjoying the sights and service of the Aster bar - what an amazing place to spend with a loved one. The service there was excellent and the view incredible. We will be keen to get back there for another date night :-). And also a shout out to Curtains Jazz bar - a great place for some cool afters... Thank IHG and the Intercontinental !!

A wonderful experience staying at Sydney Intercontinental for the weekend. Met with an attentive and personable Staff who were more than willing to assist with anything. The food was fresh, delicious, and quick when I ordered Room Service. The room was AMAZING with a view over Sydney Harbour, and the decor was so plush, giving that sense of relaxed luxury. I LOVED the lighting system and the automatic curtains. A late checkout was no problem and the automatic online finalising of the bill saved so much time. Highly recommended anytime, if anyone is wondering where to stay close to Circular Quay.

Best service I've had in a very long time. Friendly yet professional, attentive and efficient. Fantastic location, great room, amazing views. The early arrival lounge was a very pleasant surprise. I would definitely stay here again. The only ( small) disappointment was the rooftop bar that we couldn't access; yes, it was Sat night ( at 7pm) and no, we did not have a reservation but I thought we could at least take a peek.

We are in Sydney at the Intercontinental hotel for 5 days before we start our 11 day taste of Southern Australia tour. The location is within a few minutes walk of the docks, opera house, the rocks, and botanical gardens. We ate our first breakfast at the hotel this morning and wow. The service and food was exceptional. The food was hot, the quality was very good, and the variety was excellent. I look forward to four more days of breakfast here. We have a reservation for the rooftop Aster Bar tonight and expect it also be delightful.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ InterContinental Sydney is always my top choice when I travel to Sydney for business. The customer service is consistently excellent — the staff are highly trained, professional, and always very helpful. The rooms are never disappointing. They are always clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The breakfast buffet in the morning has a wide variety of options. The Club Lounge on levels 31–32 offers stunning views, and the staff there are amazing. The breakfast and afternoon tea in the lounge are also excellent. Breakfast on Level 1 has even more food options, but it can be quite busy. The hotel is also very convenient for transportation, making it easy to get around the city. Overall, InterContinental Sydney delivers a wonderful experience every time. Highly recommended for both business and leisure stays.
