Woolloomooloo Waters Apartment Hotel, Sydney

Advantages: The most spectacular views of Sydney Bridge, Opera and harbour.
Disadvantages: No restaurant, not cheap.

...Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House must be among the most photographed man-made structures on earth. They truly are iconic. And if the idea of wakening up each morning with the most stunning views of both - and the whole panorama of Sydney Harbour thrown in as well - appeals to you, then the Harbourside Apartments is definitely the place to book. Sydney is an amazing place. It swarms, it bustles, it throbs with vibrancy. It is without doubt a must-see place. But if you prefer to escape the crowds (and the city noise) at night, then North Sydney - just a few minutes away across the harbour - is the ideal place to stay. Sydney's transport system is excellent, and the ferry services are first-class - better than the bus system in most UK towns. The Harbourside apartments are located right next to McMahon's Point.

Advantages: Overlooks Sydney Harbour, 12km from airport, Views of the Sydney Opera House,
Disadvantages: Expensive! (But it is definitely worth it!)

...As soon as we pulled up in the coach from the airport, we both looked at each other and said WOW because this hotel looked amazing, and that explains the price. There are numerous types of rooms and suites in the Hotel InterContinental Sydney such as the Guest rooms and The Australia suite. We stayed in the Guest rooms for our two week stay and we were pretty sure it was bigger than our flat! It was the most luxurious hotel room I have ever stayed in. Safes, hairdryers, ironing board, chaise longue and towels were provided and lots more. Even a shower and seperate bath. I have never in my whole life (most of it spent abroad) have ever stayed in a hotel with seperate bath and shower!!!! It was amazing. The hotel is stylish yet elegant, the indoor swimming pool was on the top floor of the hotel with panoromic views of Sydney Opera... Read review
