Frommer's Review
Opened in 1997, this A$900-million (US$720-million/UK£360-million) gambling and entertainment complex includes an AAA-rated five-star hotel, with rooms overlooking Darling Harbour and the architecturally interesting Pyrmont Bridge. Although the four split-level Royal Suites are spectacular -- each with three TVs, a giant Jacuzzi, a full kitchen, two bathrooms, its own sauna, and the services of the former butler to the governor of Queensland -- the standard rooms are somewhat small. Executive suites are very nice. If you break the casino, use your winnings to pay for a room with views over Darling Harbour. The excellent Astral restaurant is on the summit of the hotel tower on Level 17. The views are great, the food is divine, and the menu is varied. A three-course a la carte meal costs A$95 (US76/UK£38) , $A85 for vegetarians).
Facilities:4 restaurants; large heated outdoor pool; Jacuzzi; sauna; concierge; free shuttle bus from central business district; business center; shopping arcade; salon; 24-hr. room service; massage; laundry service; 2 theaters; currency exchange; casino.
