Sensational location and beautiful building. We had some problems with broken items in out room however the staff were prompt and keen to rectify and resolve the matter. We found our room quiet and with a beautiful view. The swimming pool was busy in the afternoon with families but the view must be one of the best in Sydney.

I didn’t like that there was only one entry/exit which was for valet. There was no welcoming desk for street entry

Close proximity to harbour venues and attraction, excellent friendly service, cosy atmosphere. Rooms a little dated, wine lists a little limited in the bar, otherwise very happy with the whole experience.
