My husband and I stayed 2 nights at the Shangri-La Hotel. We made our reservation after reading reviews from different sources. We were NOT disappointed. We were able to check-in early since our room was ready. (we truly appreciated that especially after 20 hours in the air). Our room was located on the 31st floor with a view on the... more

We both loved our hotel experience at the Shangri-La Hotel in Sydney, and we would definitely love to stay again some day. The staff were friendly, courteous and very helpful. We loved the room we stayed in, gorgeous corner room with views over the harbour, the bed was so soft and comfortable and the bathroom was a pleasure to ensure... more

we loved the location of this hotel but were a bit surprized by the attitude of the staff perhaps the boys cutt offs were the issue but we were staying in their top floor so this should not have been a problem. Hong kong Shang beats it hands down although the view from the restaurent is amazing. Laundry bill is... more

Stayed here for 3 nights as start of a trip to Australia / New Zealand. After a long flight from Ireland, we were shattered on arrival, and the bed was one of the most comfortable that I have ever slept in. Check in was very prompt, the room was amazing and we had gotten it at a very good rate.... more

Our Horizon Club room was fabulous. However, a couple of 'quirks or irregularities' is keeping me from giving it 5 out of 5 star rating. First of all, we asked for a possible upgrade to a harbour view. The desk staff were a bit cold and unyielding to our request even though it was guaranteed we were returning the following... more

Many thanks to the author for their review and please allow to apologise for the attitude of a staff member when a requested upgrade was not granted. All requests for upgrades are taken on board, and if a request cannot be granted, for whatever the reason may be, empathy should be shown. I will certainly be counselling the staff on...

We stayed at the Shangri- La for our honeymoon in Dc 07 but I must write a review as I cannot believe the negative comments some have made!

I was so excited to come here...we wer eon my honeymoon. Special thanks then to everyone at this so called lucury hotel who managed to ruin what should have been an exceptional experience for us.
