Frommer's Review

This gambling and entertainment complex has 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 at the summit of the hotel tower on level 17.

Facilities: 4 restaurants; casino; 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

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
