Frommer's Review

After a A$35-million-plus (US$28-million/UK£14-million) renovation, this hotel became part of the swish Shangri-La group in mid-2004 and has a modern, sophisticated new look. Overlooking the marina, 36 new rooms are part of the exclusive Horizon Club and all have broadband and wireless Internet connectivity (as does the business center). These rooms are contemporary in style and exceptionally spacious -- more than 56 sq. m (603 sq. ft.), with 3.3m (11-ft.) ceilings. Bathrooms have ocean views, and the rooms have large terraces looking to the moored yachts and the mountains. The AAA-rated five-star hotel adjoins the Pier Shopping Centre and the new Esplanade lagoon, and is not far from the Reef Fleet Terminal.

Facilities:1 restaurant; 2 bars; large outdoor pool and children's pool; nearby golf course; health club; Jacuzzi; sauna; video arcade; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; airport shuttle (on request); business center; shopping arcade; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; laundry services; dry cleaning; executive-level rooms.
