Shopping tip:
Short walk from hotel
The mall and other stores are just around the corner. This is one of the most shop friendly places in the world and one street over is reported to be the most expensive street in the country. If you are looking to buy, it is all here.

Brilliant location - 2 minute
Brilliant location - 2 minute walk to Pitt St Mall, 1 minute to George St. The Hotel foyer is massive with a bar and restaurant on the same level. The room I was in overlooked the pool (well to the side of it anyway) and parts of the city. The size of the room was good with two double beds, desk and a couple of chairs by the window, with a table. Staff were friendly & attentive when required. The down side was ordering room service breakfast & having to explain the breakfast I was ordering over & over again. The person taking the order could not understand me & I had to keep referring them to the menu - apparently had never heard of maple syrup or hash browns, despite being right there on the menu. It took 40 mins to deliver a very over priced & average breakfast. Dry bacon, thin & overcooked waffles, eggs on toast were ok but paying $75 for waffles, eggs on toast, hash browns & two coffees was ridiculous. Will go back there but will skip the breakfast.

Excellent location and price
The hotel was very accesible, the decoration was modern, very comfortable. We travel a lot and this hotel was really good for the price we paid. The employees were very friendly and helpfull. We really enjoy the stay. Hotel for two days before a cruise and planned to stay in another hotel after the cruise. Since we liked it we stay again in it for three more days after the cruise. I recommend.

Had three days mid week at Swissotel.
Had three days mid week at Swissotel. It is very well located being in heart of Sydney CBD and right on to all major shopping areas. Excellent transport availability whether it be taxi, train, bus or monorail. The service we received could not be faulted and we enjoyed our room with its very comfortable bed and pillow menu and an excellent bathroom with separate shower and bath.. We had drinks on three occasions in the lobby lounge and again received excellent service.

Short walk from hotel
We tried to get tickets online, but it charges a service fee, and negated the cost savings, so I think that's pretty dumb.
