This wonderful Intercontinental Hotel is the place that we immediately decided to book the next time we come to Sydney. From the check in to check out the hotel staff was very attentive and kind. A perfect location near the Sydney Opera house and easy to hop on and off the L2,3 circular quay trams (Light Train here). Hotel was super clean as well.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Could not get a better view (Opera house view high floor), the automatic curtains opening to the view of Sydney harbour when we walk in the room was breath taking. The staff was amazing we arrived very early (7am) and they were so kind to check if out room was ready early , store our luggage while we explored and text us when it was available. The hotel is beautiful and spotless. The shower was fantastic. The king bed and pillows were some of the comfiest I've experienced in a hotel. The location is prime, one train 6 stops to Circle Quay and then only a 3 min walk up the hill to the hotel. The harbour is pretty much on your doorstep.Wish we stayed longer in Sydney. My wife and I enjoyed a nice take away in the room with our view every night.
