I was visiting Sydney for a wedding, and had an extra few days for enjoying the sites. Let's start with the good. The hotel is in an excellent location. 5 minute walk to Circular Quay and into the heart of downtown. The common areas are very nice and clean. If you want a cab, there is a ready supply right... more

Stayed here for NYE celebrations so slightly late in submitting review. Overall the SL is great choice, providing superb facilities , million dollar views and a prime location. We opted for one of the more expensive Grand Harbour view rooms which do not disappoint , although as mentioned the room furniture was looking a little tired and could do with... more

For some time I had wanted to stay at the Shangri-La and a few days over my birthday seemed the perfect opportunity to experience this hotel. Reception staff were friendly and we were directed to the Horizon Club for exclusive check in which was speedy and efficient. We booked a Horizon Club Opera King room and were upgraded to a... more

My wife and myself spent our honeymoon at the Shangri La during December 2008. The check-in was fast and efficient. We stayed at an Horizon Opera House room, which was just fabulous, both for its amenities and views! The staff was rather helpful and the breakfast rich and tasty. Another great plus of this hotel is its location. We managed... more

Our daughter (who we were visiting in Sydney) had never seen such a good view and she had been in the City for seven months. We had a lovely time and could'nt... more

My partner and I stayed at the Shangri-La in Sydney for a week at the end of April. Our primary gripes are with the cost of breakfast room service and the availibity of the concierge. Firstly, the concierge. We'd hired a car and parked it at the hotel. 90% of the time we called the concierge, the number would be... more

We stayed at the Shangri La for three nights while on our honeymoon travels en route from Thailand to Queensland. The hotel is well positioned and is a short stroll to the harbour. It is at the top of the hill so it is not ideal for anyone who would find an uphill, steep walk hard. The hotel is pretty... more

We read a few of the reviews on Tripadvisor and thought the Shangri-la hotel sounded lovely. On arrival the staff were very helpful our bags were collected immediately. We were shown to our rooms and as promised the rooms are a very nice size. All the soft furnishings are new and the views from the opera house view rooms are... more

very well run and comfortable hotel - if you can get a room with bridge and opera house view - room 2609 was the best city view i have experienced. right location for all sight seeing. try the rockport for a special meal and bonza bike rides for sight seeing more
