Shangri-la Hotel Sydney

Frommer's Review

For a room with a view, you're not going to do better than this ultramodern landmark hotel with a touch of Asian flair. It's just a 5-minute walk from Circular Quay. Try to book a room on the 20th floor or above: From here Sydney and its harbor is laid out at your feet, with ferries buzzing around below you like bathtub toys. All rooms are contemporarily furnished and rely on the views perhaps more than the decor to impress. The top five room floors, from level 29 to 34, have use of the Horizon Club lounge. This supplies breakfast and evening canapés. The trendy Café Mix on level 1 serves breakfasts and has a good lunch and dinner buffet with contemporary and Asian-style meals (including Japanese). Also here is The Rocks Tepenyaki restaurant, which serves good Japanese cuisine. The stylish Altitude restaurant and Blue Horizon Bar (both on the 36th floor), have panoramic harbor views. The associated historic Harts Pub, at street level, offers a lunchtime Aussie barbecue in the beer garden Tuesdays to Fridays.
