Grace Hotel
This hotel was the best for location, location, location. The only downside was the airport shuttle to here...left us off ten blocks from here but the hotel was great. I traveled with my adult daughter and the only down side was the last day here we didn't have our room changed (only required towel changes) but evidence when we returned idicated that the room had not been attended to. A quick call and towels were dropped off and things were good. LOVED IT! Would definitely go stay there again.

What a great hotel in the heart
What a great hotel in the heart of Sydney, with easy access to the shopping domain of sydney, trains are a block away, and a little further is circular quay. The restaurants in and around Darling Harbour are a must. This is the third time I have stayed at the Grace Hotel and still have not been wanting for anything. The service, reception, cleanliness is all what you would get in a five star. If you away for a relaxing weekend, well do yourself a favour and pamper yourself to the Grace Hotel.... mmmm the beds are great. Obviously you pay for the location, but it is well worth it, did I mention all the good restaurants in and around Darling Harcbour and Cockle Bay, additionally the markets at the Rocks are good to browse over. Would have no problems in returning to the Grace Hotel
