Fabulous views from our room , corporate style room with very comfy bed. Are the views worth £400? Perhaps not. Can't comment on food but gin and tonic worst ever packed full of ice and little gin. Concierge service exemplary, not only do you receive written confirmation of your request but also displayed on your tv. More

Whilst this is an ideal located hotel for Circular Quay, it would not be one of my favourite Intercontinentals. We arrived late evening and whilst check in was fairly friendly, I got the impression that because we were using an Ambassador voucher we could be treated a little less than one would expect. Club access was offered at $150.00 per... More

Ive stayed here a few times and it's my favourite. Last time it was just after my fiancé proposed and he arranged to have roses in the room. When we walked in it looked like a rose mascara had taken place, with rose heads cut off at the stems- it was funny, other than that everything is lovely here- I... More

We have stayed several times at this hotel and have enjoyed it on every occasion. Small problems are dealt with efficiently and courteously. The club lounge is a wonderful environment with excellent views and superb staff who go out of their way to make you feel welcome. As we arrived at the hotel I wondered if we would try somewhere...

We stayed in the Intercontinental during our Aus/NZ trip. The room was perfect with the view to Sydney Harbor Bridge. We chose the Harbor view room. It's perfect location and just few minutes to best restaurants and harbor area. I would not recommend the breakfast in the hotel as there are many restaurants nearby. I want to specially thank the...

Great location. Room was ready when we arrived at 10 am. Fab view from room worth upgrade. Pool disappointing for 5 star very strange layout but super views. Drinks expensive but location and decor make up for it. Would stay again. More

We enjoyed five beautiful days both at the Intercontinental and in Sydney. It was a first for us at the hotel and upon leaving immediately said this is where we will stay when we are next in Sydney. Views to die for, close to Circular Quay, 20 minutes to the airport, The Rocks only a 5 minute walk away, great... More

Fabulous hotel with stunning views! The staff are very friendly and treat everyone first class! We stayed in the club level roooms. I stayed in the King Club Opera House view room which was very modern and had top end amenities. The other part of our group had booked in the King Club Executive Suite but luckily had been upgraded... More

I travel a lot on business and this is my favourite Hotel. The staff are first class, and the rooms excellent. The view of the Opera House is great, and the atmosphere is relaxing. Afternoon tea in the lobby area, or early evening drink is really good. The restaurant, as you might expect is also really good. You might expect... More

We arrived at 6am after a 23 hour flight and were absolutely delighted to find we were able to get into our room straight away (although our travel company had warned us we wouldn't get access until 3pm). The room (2101) was a reasonable size for the four of us and our view was spectacular - although we had to... More
