My wife and I were only at the Intercontinental for one night and we didn't want to leave. Definitely upgrade to a club room so you can use the club lounge, the view is extraordinary.

Was a little disappointed at the size of the room, but couldn't fault the service. The bathroom was also a little dated. Very comfy bed and great view over Watson's bay. Overall had a very nice stay.

Fantastic hotel, great price if
Fantastic hotel, great price if you get it through Hotelclub or similar website. Views from the Harbour Bridge View room were amazing, I knew they would be good but even I as a Sydney sider was shocked at the great view when I walked in the room. Room service menu probably the best I've ever come across, all staff friendly, professional and willing to go above and beyond to help out. Buffet breakfast with eggs cooked however you want them also sensational.

Everything was fabulous ... great
Everything was fabulous ... great location ... fabulous view from room ... hotel facilities and amenities all great. $45 for parking (per day) is a bit rich though. Commercial rates - OK - but surely at least a discount for house guests.

What a great hotel! The hotel
What a great hotel! The hotel was a beautiful facility and the rooms with large and clean. Their workout facility was among the best I have ever seen. They are in close proximity to the Circular Quay, Opera House, etc. We reserved over 60 days in advance, and thus got a significant discount which brought the price down, although all the hotels in that vicinity are very pricey. Would stay there and recommend it any time.
