The location was perfect, could walk to the Rocks, Darling Harbour and the Botanic Gardens quite easily. All the staff were wonderful and we felt spoilt with their care. The Spa was also great. Couldn’t fault any aspect of our stay here.

Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel
I had an overnight stay as I needed to be at the airport to meet an early morning flight. The airport is a short walk from the terminal so was ideal for what I needed. The room was comfortable and spacious enough for my needs.
