The Shangri-La is the only hotel I stay at when in Sydney. I have tried a lot of the others but keep coming back, it’s simply the best! You can’t beat the location, walking distance to everything, high quality & standards, polished staff, and the food is fantastic. There’s nothing better than coming back to the hotel after a big day with meeting clients and sitting at the bar up on level 36 overlooking the bridge and opera house with an old fashioned whiskey, when I’m there I think about how amazing life is. Don’t t change anything! Jules.

Perfect location especially for our needs with wanting to be located close to circular quay and the rocks. Amazing view of the opera house from both our room and level 36. The lunch was also delicious in the altitude restaurant, and the service was fab. The gym was good, and the spa was also wonderful! The room was also lovely. Thank you!
