We had a fantastic stay at the Intercontinental Hotel Sydney. Its prime location in the heart of the city allows for easy access to iconic attractions like the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, The Rocks, and Circular Quay, making it perfect for exploring the area. The hotel itself is a luxurious establishment housed in a historic building, featuring classic decor that exudes elegance. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome, particularly Kevin, whose professionalism eased our transition after a long journey. The check-in process was efficient, even during the busy morning season. Our harbour view room met every expectation, offering a lovely vista. In the morning, we enjoyed a standout breakfast, although the selection of pastries was somewhat limited. The dining staff were attentive yet unobtrusive, enhancing our overall experience. Overall, our stay was delightful, marked by exceptional service and a beautiful setting, making it a memorable part of our trip to Sydney.

Had a brief overnight stay for work and what a delight it was to stay at the Intercontinental in Sydney. Ease of location (just a short walk up the hill from the train station - came straight from the airport so about a 30 minute journey all up). So close to the Opera House, Bridge and Circular Quay. The hotel itself is great, what you would expect at an intercontinental. Lovely inside, was treated to an upgrade on my room to a harbour view which was much appreciated. Luxury products in the bathrooms, comfy bed and the breakfast buffet is extensive. Would love to come back on my next Sydney visit, staying a little longer for leisure next time!

Very impressed with the suite at The Intercontinental with Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House view with club lounge access. Customer service exceptional. High tea absolutely beautiful and happy hour from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm generous and friendly. Breakfast on day one was a bit underwhelming because of staff shortage. In fact we didn’t bother to order a hot breakfast. Service was too slow. I had to ask for orange juice and smoked salmon, because the food had not been replenished. Empty jug and plate. The next day we could not fault the food or customer service. We will definitely will stay at The Intercontinental Sydney next time we visit.

We had a wonderful stay during Vivid Sidney. Ideally located in the heart of the city, a few minutes walk to the Opera house, Harbor bridge, the Rocks, and Circular Quay (gateway to ferries) and restaurants. It is a luxury hotel in a historic and beautiful building with classic decor! There is a classic and elegant elevator in the lobby. Amazing and helpful staff that will help you in every way. We were a bit lost on our first day, and we may look it too...lol. A staff member immediately approached and answered our questions on how to walk to the Opera House from the hotel. The room is spacious and clean with a view of the harbor. Visit the Aster bar to enjoy the crafty mixology (We love the drinks!) and the amazing view of Sydney Harbor. The only downside is the lackluster breakfast buffet. It needs more variety!!! Nevertheless, we still highly recommend this hotel!!!

My family and I recently had the pleasure of staying at the InterContinental Sydney, and let me tell you, it was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment I arrived, the staff welcomed me with warm smiles and an eagerness to accommodate my every need. Their hospitality truly set the tone for my stay and made me feel right at home. It’s clear that attention to detail is a priority here, and it really enhances the overall experience. Now, let's talk about the rooftop bar—an absolute must-visit! The views of the Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House are simply breathtaking. Sipping on a delicious cocktail while soaking in those iconic sights was one of the highlights of my trip. Whether you're looking to unwind after a long day or celebrate a special occasion, this bar offers an unforgettable atmosphere. In terms of value, I found my stay to be well worth it given the quality of service and amenities provided. The combination of luxurious accommodations, prime location, and exceptional staff makes it a fantastic choice for anyone visiting Sydney. In summary, my experience at InterContinental Sydney was phenomenal! If you're looking for a place that combines comfort, stunning views, and top-notch service, look no further. I can't wait to return for another unforgettable stay!
