Offers a magnificent view of the city! Cocktails are pricey at $20 a piece, but the location makes it worth the money! more

I have stayed in three other Shangri La hotels. Vancouver,Singapore and Kowloon. All are 5 star rated and deservedly so. But, the Shangri La in Sydney was a real let down. Firstly it does not have the feel of the others that I have stayed in. The hotel lobby looks like you have wandered into a Holiday Inn. To be... more

The Shangri la hotel in the Rocks is a very beautiful place to stay! I went there with my husband for a 2 weeks vacation and i was really happy about the service and the location. It is just few steps away from circular quay and right in the heart of the historial district "the Rocks". It has a magnificient... more

I recently stayed at Shangri-La hotel for romantic weekend getaway with my husband. We had such an amazing time - the views from our hotel room were amazing, and cocktails at Blu Horizon fantastic. Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay - I would recommend this hotel to anyone - both locals and overseas guests. more

The shangri-la is exquisitely placed in terms of views of sydney harbour and opera house. Knowing this, I think they probably pay less attention to service and quality of service. Food was alright, but very expensive. Facilities are on par with other hotels but nothing outstanding. Service is varied - excellent in some respects (e.g., the valet guys) but ordinary... more

July 09 was my second stay at Shangrila, thanks to my bf who always surprises me. This hotel is just magnificent in many ways, would recommend to anybody (although, I don't know how much it costs lol). Upon arrival at Shangrila, you are greeted by the concierge and the lovely people at the reception. We couldn't check in as we... more

I booked a Horizon Club room at the Shangri-La Sydney for the last night of our honeymoon as a surprise to my new husband. We had previously stayed at another hotel (which provided fantastic service) in the city at the beginnning of our honeymoon, we then went on a cruise and again received fantastic service so my expectations may have... more

While I am certainly thankful you chose to spend the last night of your honeymoon with us here at Shangri-La Hotel Sydney, I was very concerned to read your comments about our service. Great, quality service is very important to the hotel and our philosophy and...

We arrived in Sydney around 10am - the staff informed us that our room wasn't ready, but they went to great lengths to get it ready as quickly as possible. Check-in wasn't until 3pm, but we were in our room before 1pm. We got personalized service when the check-in agent walked our room keys over to us in the lobby... more

Thank you for mentioning our large marble bathrooms - a beautiful fixture...

This was a great hotel!! Helped getting reservations at good restaurants, always available if there was problem with room. Rooms were good size for price, and staff was more than helpful. The gift shop and jewelers were amazingly friendly even though we didn't use their services that much, by giving us advice on where to eat, types of jewelry to... more
