We booked our stay "last minute" as we didn't want to spend a fortune on a hotel. Once we had booked the Sebel I sent them a message advising we were actually getting married and if they could give us an upgrade that would be really appreciated. We arrived to be told we had been given a complimentary upgrade so happily went up to the room. After the other reviews I had read I was glad we were in the main hotel and not the southern wing. We opened the door to a decent size room that had a...

The Four Seasons Hotel on George St, Sydney is excellent for location, comfort, luxury and service. We used the hotel spa and facilities before check in, and our room was ready early which was a bonus. The room was beautifully renovated- nice decor, very comfy bed and luxurious soft white linen, and west facing view toward the harbour bridge. The hotel service was very efficient and we received a small treat and message for the birthday being celebrated. Highly recommend FS for a luxury city...

We recently stayed for three nights in a refurbished Horizon Room at the Shangri-La Sydney and were thoroughly impressed from start to finish. The room was spotless, modern, and incredibly well equipped, nothing was overlooked. The nightly delivery of handmade fudge was such a thoughtful and luxurious touch that made us feel genuinely pampered. Having Horizon Club access really elevated our experience.

Great location - near cafes, restaurants, supermarket, fitness studios and the beach. The staff and service maids were so lovely and kind. The pillows were too big for my liking, I like a thinner pillow (no major though). There were a few stains on the duvet and it just had a sheet overtop. The room is a good size, especially having a couch, deck etc. Bathroom is very small but is perfect. You can borrow towels from reception to take to the beach which is great. The only...

Great hotel, very new and the room was a good size with a good size fridge, kettle, and nice bathroom (agree with other reviews that lighting is terrible). For a long weekend, and vivid festival, this was a great value option, even if nth Sydney is a bit out of the way for some of the things we did. We had a great weekend and enjoyed our stay. Coles and aldi a few doors away too which is handy.
