We were in Sydney for the marathon, and Intercontinental was conveniently located less than half a mile from the Opera House and The Rocks. This hotel is probably the best smelling hotel I’ve been to! I really loved the ambiance, interior and decor. The staff was very nice as well. On most days, my family (with 2 young kids) walked to shops and restaurants. I’d definitely visit again.

I appreciate the spectacular view from our room. We were on the 30th floor and had the East Harbor View and the Botanic Gardens. It was amazing! The location is very convenient and walkable to Circular Quay, Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbor Bridge. You definitely pay a premium for these kind of view and convenience. We did not try the breakfast as it is spendy for us, 50 A$. Room service is fast, reasonably priced and tasty. Multiple options especially for our son who is a picky eater. There are a lot of other eating places close by. If we have another chance, we will definitely stay here again.

I booked this hotel for sight seeing after going on a cruise that landed in Sydney. Loved that it was right by the Opera House and cruise terminal, walking distance or short taxi drives to a lot of sites. They had an early arrival lounge which made it great. We were there till our room was available early. Someone even came by to replace the bathroom lock that we didn’t know was broken. And a few minutes later, someone else came up and gave our kids little toys. We attempted to eat at the hotel restaurant. We waited 30 minutes for appetizers. Drinks came after that. The server told us that my husband‘s chicken was taking a little bit longer due to an event, but that everything else will come out in the next couple minutes. His food came out with my children’s, but my food never came. Server was nowhere to be found and by that time I was upset so I just asked the bartender (I think. No idea who he was because no one approached our table until I was sending my family up to the room while I remained) to cancel my food and let me leave. Pool was smaller side but that was fine. However, guests weren’t following the posted rules about wearing swim gear. There were lots of kids in just underwear and pool attendant didn’t say anything to them about it. I didn’t feel comfortable letting the kids back into the pool again. I did try the sauna in the women’s room. It said it was 68C after the warm-up time. There was no way it was that hot. I left because it wasn’t hot enough.

Good business hotel but fell short of expectation.

Nice and conveniently located hotel but lacking the standards of other InterContinental hotels. Cleanliness and upkeep of common restrooms in lobby area was a huge let down. Fitness club was only average with limited equipment for a 5 star hotel.
