Awesome!
The location of Swissotel made it possible for us to visit top attractions on foot, like the Sydney Opera House and Darling Harbor. We walked everywhere, had a great time popping into hidden shopping gems, and save much on cab fare. The PBJ staff were also extremely friendly. Our favorite wait-staff made our dinners some of the best we've had.

Great location, quality rooms.
We used the great location in the central business district as a base for all our daily sightseeing trips. Right on a major bus line and monorail termimal. The reception area was a little hard to find (on the eigth floor of a large building) but the staff was very helpful and the room was very nice.

Sydney holiday
Quite nice. Hotel is above an office complex (starts on the 8th floor) and the ground floor is very nondescript. However, once into the hotel itself all is well. Quiet and clean. The breakfast buffet and all other food services (and bar) are very expensive but the hotel is located in an area with easy access to other options. Also has easy access to all the shopping venues you could ask for.

Location, location, location!
Our stay was for four nights, and everything was fantastic. All of the personnel were caring, conscientious, courteous, and polite; they went out of their way to help. The location is perfect. This was our first trip to Sydney, and seeing the sights, going to the opera, shopping, and finding nearby public transportation were easily accomplished. If/When we return, we will stay here again.

Swissotel Sydney
This is a great hotel within walking distance to most of Sydney attractions and sites. However, the area in experiencing a construction boom, specifically with several retail centers either being developed or retrofitted/renovated. Easy access to public transportation.

Swissotel Sydney
Pay to stay on the Executive Club floors. Internet access, free breakfast, bigger rooms, and complimentary drinks and hors de vors at 5:30. Our room was twice as big as the room we had at the Sydney Four Seasons. The bar staff was not attentive. The Concierge booked us front row table at a great open air restaurant with a view of the Opera House and Harbor Bridge. Would definitely stay with Swissotel again.

Great Location in the center of downtown
The hotel has all that we required for our stay. The location was an easy walk to the Rocks, Darling, Oxford area and shopping. It is located above a Meyer dept store and has a very limited street level footprint so it is easy to miss upon arrival.

The rooms were extremely spacious
The rooms were extremely spacious (esp. the corner rooms) and the facilities offered was good - it was a shame they dismantled the milk steamer on the in-room cuppucino maker. The key passes didnt work the first time we used it and it takes a few trials before the door registers and unlocks. All in all, it was a nice hotel.
