We already had a hotel in Sydney, but it was to far from all of the main attractions, with a little research we found the Menzies Hotel on Carrington St.
What a stroke of luck for us. A beautiful hotel in the old Grand Style with marble floors, rich deep hard woods everywhere and hanging chandeliers. Not that this makes a hotel, but in this case it did, it just had that Grand warm feeling and you were treated that way also.
We had a wonderful room, overlooking a small park, the food was good and the staff were exceptional.
The location was fantastic for us.
We were right where we wanted to be: 1 block from George St., 3 block to Circular Quay,
6 blocks to the Opera house and the Botanical Gardens, 5 blocks to Darling Harbor, 4 blocks to the Rocks and the Sydney Bridge. Another great shopping location was just up the street at the Queen Victoria Building ( http://www.sydney.com.au/qvb.htm ).
Out the front entrance was an entrance to the Wynyard subway station which gave us access to all of Sydney. The shopping complex, underground, at the Wynyard was fantastic.

The Menzies Sydney is very conveniently located across the road from Wynyard Station, near the major tourist attractions and in the heart of the CBD and financial district. The service at this hotel is impeccable, with all staff from the maids in housekeeping to the bar staff in the classy piano bar possessing a can do attitude always with a smile.
The facilities at this hotel are pretty much what you'd expect from a "business class" hotel, with a pool, gym and sauna. The hotel also has a pretty basic business centre with coin operated internet access ($2 for ten minutes), but of course there is internet access from the guest rooms. There are two restaurants and three bars. The service I've received from all restaurants and bars on the premesis has been exceptional. Make sure you head down to the Piano Bar on a Friday or Saturday night for a Martini and live music (requests taken).
Guest rooms are on the smallish size but are comfortable and clean. The flat screen TV is a nice touch, although the bathroom toiletries leave a lot to be desired (no toothbrush/toothpaste or shaving products to be had). My other gripe is a lack of in room safe, although there are safety deposit boxes available at reception. Tea/coffee facilities in room as is the obigatory mini-bar.
Although not the most modern hotel, The Menzies succesfully mixes class and sophistication with a level of service not normally found in Australian hotels. This hotel is in a great location, and with Wynyard station so close gives the leisure traveller access to travel beyond the CBD. Business travellers will love the location and impeccable service. Highly recommended (in fact this is my hotel of choice in Sydney).
Service, service, service. This is what sets The Menzies apart from many other "business" hotels. All staff have a courteous can do attitude with nothing being too hard.
Package offers are also a big bonus at The Menzies with a Romantic Getaway Package providing excellent value ($259 providing accomodation, a bottle of sparkling Australian wine and choclates on arrival, an in room movie and room service breakfast the next morning - for 2 people).
