Our fam of 3 came here for the marathon. A must-get is the Horizon Club Lounge, which has the best daily breakfast/tea views during our 5-day stay, and it's close to everything in the city. The staffs/services were top-notch; The indoor pool during our autumn stay was amazing. We will stay here again next time around.

Best hotel experience ever! Stayed on upper club level floor with a panoramic view of the Sydney bridge (you must climb it) and the iconic Opera House. We had breakfast every morning in the club with pre-dinner happy hour in the club as well. Brilliant sunset views from the club too! Very conveniently located near the harbor where everything is happening.
