Had such a great stay at Four Seasons Sydney. The hotel was spotless, and the staff were incredibly helpful. We landed early in the morning, completely exhausted, and they accommodated us with an early check-in, which made all the difference. The breakfast buffet was amazing, and the team at valet was so friendly🫶🏼

Quiet location with great restaurants around. Short walk to the Central Station which connects to the airport. Staff were very lovely, great hospitality, clean rooms, and there is a bar/breakfast treats/cocktail station which is nice. Rooftop patio for some fresh air as well. Would recommend for a stay in Sydney with close proximity to the subway line.

    For a 5 stars hotel it was horrible experience, parking was a hassle, they don’t have valet service you have to park in a wilson parking across the road and come back walking, cross the busy road, no pedestrian crossing nor pedestrian lights, overall it was very bad experience

    I liked our room it was very spacious and clean and room service was divine and available 24/7 which was perfect. The room was constantly cleaned and tidied so it truly felt like this is what 5 stars feels like. Any problems we had the staff where excellent and very helpful. I am definitely in love with this hotel.

    The Shangri-La was understatedly luxurious and comfortable. Certainly 5 stars but didn’t make us worry that we might break something or do or say the wrong thing. The staff were courteous and some very fun which is just what we like.
