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.

Great location, lovely foyer,

Great location, lovely foyer, nice room. Bathroom is huge and very nice, only needed a powerpoint near the mirror for hair straighteners etc to make it fabulous. Restaurant in the hotel served a magnificent wagu beef meal, one downside to the restaurant was that it shuts at 10 pm, which made it a rushed meal as we did not check in until 8.30pm.

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.

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.
