“Into the Blue....even if the sky wasn't”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

The weather was not that flash, but the hotel was! The former W Hotel in Sydney is now part of the Taj group and what a great job they have done. Fantastic staff, super attentive and boutique uber chic lodgings right in Sydney...best part is you cannot go wrong with any of the restaurants that lie along the wharf below. We also conferenced at the hotel which made it all just soooo much easier and more enjoyable and felt like you got to linger in this lovely hotel just a little bit longer.

Room Tip: Of course you want to be wharf side - there are duplex rooms which are superior but have that loft b...

“Lovely hotel. Great to be on the water”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

We stayed in a loft suite which was very nice but smaller than I was expecting. It was great to have a second wc on the lower level and the decor of the room was very nice. There was nowhere to hang used towels in the bathroom which was a bit of a pain as we had to use the railing of the loft bedroom but the view was great and I could not fault any of the staff members we spoke to. They were all courteous, helpful and extremely friendly. I would definitely stay again.

“Fabulous stay at the Taj”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

people found this review helpful

I stayed with my sister and mum for one night at the Blue Taj Hotel. We stayed in a King suite loft. It was a great size. There is a toilet downstairs and a bathroom upstairs. The bed is really comfortable. The decor is modern and cosy. They had little things like an ipod docking station, iron (with a proper iron), chocolates by our bed. Which were nice touches. The valet parking was $40, but definitely worth it. It made life convenient as we were able to just drive to the front of the hotel and hand over our keys. It was also great as the next day we just left the car there and went shopping. The valet got the car for us later and they also held our bags for the day. So saved us trying to park in the city the next day.
The service was five star. Anything we wanted was not too much trouble. They have a 24/7 button on the phone to call. We had room service in the morning. We ordered and had our food in 15 minutes which was very impressive. The food was lovely. Check out the bar down stairs as well. I will definitely stay here in the future. My new fave in Sydney.
