Everything about the hotel was great! Very beautiful rooms, nice breakfast, amazing staff, great location, and more. It is a great place to stay within Sydney. The room itself is very spacious and the beds are comfortable. The hotel itself is very modern with many floors and a sky bar. I would stay here again!

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!!!

The view from this hotel is just amazing! Plenty of places to enjoy the view from — the upgraded rooms, the Aster bar on the top floor, the early arrival welcome lounge, and even the gym on the top floor. My favorite thing was the early arrival lounge since my flight got in so early and I got to the hotel around 8 AM, way too early for a standard check-in. However, they had a beautiful lounge with coffee and tea and some snacks for refreshments, and they hold your bags securely so you can relax the lounge or start your day. They texted when my room was ready (early, so nice). The breakfast buffet is definitely worth adding to your stay. They had a huge variety of delicious foods, some cooked to order, as well as fresh pastries, fruits, etc.

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!

Sydney weekend getaway for a mates birthday. Intercontinental was fantastic, from arrival/check in to departure the service was world class. The hotel facilities themselves were splendid. The cherry on top were the unimpeded views to Sydney harbor and beyond. Location was very convenient too situated next to the rocks on Phillip St.
