[2025 The Rocks Stay] Travel Guide for Shangri-La Sydney (Updated Mar)

#australiatrip Incredible and memorable are two words that come to mind. We had booked a harbour bridge view room in the Horizon club category with early/late check in and out. When our room was not yet ready, the warm and friendly reception staff member (Saskia) upgraded us to a room that felt like a once in a lifetime experience. We can’t thank her enough for making it such a memorable trip. We ended up in an incredible corner suite with sweeping views from the coast, across the harbour and all the way out to the Blue Mountains. We were so in awe of our room and the spectacular view that we barely picked up our books, rather we enjoyed sitting and chatting while watching the world go by outside. Next time we return, it will be very difficult to book a room now that we have experienced the incredible luxury of a suite. I highly recommend the Horizon rooms to get access to the Horizon lounge - especially if you are booking a lower category of room without much of a view. This lounge is a calm oasis throughout the day with complimentary drinks (tea, coffee etc) while enjoying the view. At select times you can also have breakfast (decent buffet selection not much smaller than the main buffet downstairs), afternoon tea (lovely scones, biscuits, light sandwiches etc) and canapés (dips, crackers, antipasto and some warm bites, as well as including beer, wine and spirits). I have stayed here many times before and had a lovely, restful experience; however, this time was such a treat and I cannot wait to return! Thank you again to the incredible staff for our lovely stay.

Perched in The Rocks, Shangri-La Sydney offers an unrivaled luxury stay with breathtaking views of Sydney Harbour, the Opera House, and Harbour Bridge. From high-floor suites, floor-to-ceiling windows frame the stunning skyline, while the spacious bathroom features a deep tub with a direct harbor view, making relaxation a true spectacle. The hotel’s elegant design blends modern comfort with timeless sophistication. Just steps away, explore historic laneways, Circular Quay, and vibrant dining spots. Whether waking up to sunrise over the harbor or unwinding at Blu Bar on 36, Shangri-La Sydney is the ultimate indulgence. #australiatrip

Fortunately, I chose Shangri-La Sydney Room type: Deluxe Sydney Harbour Bridge Room At first, I was struggling to decide whether to book Four Seasons or Shangri-La, because I had read many bad reviews of Shangri-La, and I really didn't like their design, so I was inclined to book Four Seasons, but in the end, considering that I wanted to book a twin room, the area of ​​Four Seasons was too small, and Shangri-La with the same view was much more cost-effective, so I booked Shangri-La next door. After moving in, I'm really glad I made that choice haha. Generally speaking, except for the rustic decoration and small lobby, everything else is great! 📍Location (5/5) The hotel is located near Circular Quay, very close to the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. As for the slightly farther Hyde Park and Darling Harbour, it only takes about 🚶 15 minutes to walk. 🏡Room (4/5) First of all, the room has an obvious disadvantage, that is, the decoration is too old-fashioned, because the room I originally booked was also the renovated Four Seasons next door. When I actually lived there, I found the decoration style to be very old, but it was well maintained, or maybe it had been renovated? I feel like many things are quite new, giving people a feeling of both new and old🧐 I gave it 4 points mainly because the view is great, plus the room is spacious, clean and hygienic, the facilities are very practical, the software makes up for the hardware deficiencies to a large extent, and it is quite comfortable to live in. (The bed in the hotel can be moved to the side of the bed, which is roughly the same height as the long sofa, so you can lie down and enjoy the scenery) 🥢Breakfast (3.5/5) Breakfast was arranged in the restaurant on the 36th floor, in the form of self-service and a la carte. The buffet has very few dishes, which is about the same level as the breakfast in the executive lounge of other hotels. There are eight different dishes for the à la carte menu. The presentation is very delicate and beautiful, the portions are normal, and the taste is acceptable. It is even more wonderful to eat with the scenery of the hotel, which helps to save a lot of points for the breakfast part🤤🤤 🧑‍💼Service (5/5) The service is really great, and every employee is very enthusiastic! The check-in was handled by a Hong Kong girl who spoke very nice Cantonese and was very gentle. She introduced the check-in details in great detail. Other staff members who deliver food and water and the front desk reception are very polite and will often greet you, which is very heartwarming👍 In addition, because this is my first time staying in Shangri-La, I learned that they can directly click on the basic services they need on the app, such as replenishing items, cleaning, collecting meals, etc., and the response speed is very fast! No need to make a special phone call, very suitable for me who is not very good at English ✌🏻✌🏻

The room area starts at 40 square meters, equipped with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows and glass wall bathrooms, with plenty of natural light. The hotel occupies a unique geographical location, the hotel is quiet in the middle of trouble, the private mi feels hin good, equipped with marble bathrooms and 🛁 bathtubs, electrical appliances and a sufficient mini bar The hotel's holiday facilities are very complete, with indoor swimming pools, gyms, and SPAs. Especially the SPA service is a good choice to relax. You can also enjoy a cocktail at the hotel's BLU BAR, overlooking the beautiful night view of Sydney, it is a good place to enjoy life. The modern and stylish restaurant Altitude and Blu Bar on the 36th floor of the hotel have spectacular urban views. Shangri-La's rooftop bar is the best place to overlook Sydney, with the harbor, bridge, and opera house in full view. If you have the opportunity, you must taste Espresso martini, it is really amazing. The hotel is close to the Rock District Market and Circular Quay. The surrounding blocks are very European. The classical buildings and the undulating sheep intestines make this place particularly elegant~ After visiting the market, you can walk directly to Circular Quay and the Opera House.

The Shangri-La Hotel, Sydney is one of my favorite hotels. It's located in the Rocks District of Sydney Harbour, with a great location and pleasant views. The Opera House rooms and Sydney Harbour Bridge rooms offer stunning views of the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge, especially the Sydney Opera House, which shines with a pearl-like white light against the blue sea and sky, attracting attention. The Shangri-La Sydney has two restaurants on the 36th floor. Altitude Restaurant and Blue Bar on 36. Altitude serves Australian cuisine and offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Blue Bar on 36 mainly serves cocktails and afternoon tea. Both restaurants have floor-to-ceiling windows, so you can enjoy the wonderful views of Sydney Harbour while tasting delicious food. It seems that many internet celebrities come here to check in and take photos. It takes about 30 minutes to take a taxi from the airport to the Shangri-La Sydney, and about 15 minutes to take a taxi from the Shangri-La to Chinatown. You can also walk to Sydney Harbour to see the Sydney Opera House or take a ferry to Taronga Zoo. The location is very convenient. The only downside is that the pool is very small. Because the Shangri-La Sydney is an old five-star hotel, the pool now seems particularly mini, and I guess it would be a bit of a hassle for the hotel to renovate it.

#luxuryhotels Just had an incredible stay at Shangri-La Sydney! 🏨💖 Nestled by the harbor, the location was a total win – waking up to the Opera House view was surreal. Price per night, around $350, felt justified given the luxurious experience. 💰 Here they serve my favorite breakfast, just delicious. The hotel's opulence and impeccable service set the bar high. The room, oh-so-elegant, and those plush beds made every night heavenly. 🛌✨ Stepping out, Circular Quay was a stone's throw away – perfect for ferry rides and exploring The Rocks. 🚢🏰 Also, having a sunset drink at Blu Bar on 36 was a must for those panoramic city views! 🌇🍸 #ShangriLaMagic #SydneySplendor
