Shangri-La Sydney

Shangri-La Sydney rises above The Rocks, with a commanding position over the harbour and the historic quarter below. It suits business travellers, couples and visitors who want a classic luxury hotel with an excellent location for sightseeing on foot. The Rocks has a distinctive old-Sydney character, with sandstone lanes, weekend markets and plenty of places to eat.

Harbour-view rooms are the main draw, offering wide outlooks over the water from higher floors. The hotel provides a pool and a spa, along with the business facilities expected of a large five-star property. The mood is formal yet comfortable, with a service-led approach that suits both relaxed leisure breaks and busy work schedules.

Circular Quay is a short walk away for ferries, trains and buses, so reaching other parts of the city is simple. Hill gradients in the area can be steep when you are carrying luggage, so use a taxi if needed. Room categories vary a lot in view quality, so check exactly what you are booking before paying.
