I stayed at the Westin while in

I stayed at the Westin while in Sydney on Business. Its a large, impersonal hotel without a soul, however, the room was large and very comfortable and clean. It was beautifully presented. There was no window to the outside world, but rather to an atrium - quite attractive. Location was good - clost to Pitt Street Mall, Circular Keys and Darling Harbour. On the negative : The staff were not just professional but were somewhat condescending. Anyone would think they were better than the people they served! This is with exception to a young waitress in the bar. A glass of wine from a bottle shop that would cost no more than $25 if bought at a bottle shop was $18.

Really enjoyed our stay. Great venue and location. The extra amenities like restaurants and shops is a real bonus. And the most important thing - service - was perfect. Discrete and high quality.

Simply the Best in Sydney

Simply the best hotel we stayed in out of the seven places we stayed during our 3-week Australian holiday. Significantly better experience than we had (a week prior) at the Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel down the block, and I'd have no reservation recommending that place too...but the Westin was better. We got upgraded to their Heritage room, and the room had everything. Great fitness center. Great location. Loved this place....we'll be coming back.

Sightseeing tip: Short walk from hotel

Stop for casual breakfast at the Martin Place food court (downstairs) and follow-up with a short walk to the National Gallery of Art (free admission).

Good all around choice

Great location (convenient to the Airport Link train) and walking distance to everything else. Very friendly staff (Australians are just friendly). Great bed -- just as advertised-- and wonderful breakfast (try to get a bed and breakfast rate). A little expensive but Sydney is an expensive city. Not sure one could do better anywhere else. I would stay there again.
