 Wonderful Wharf-side setting... by M0B1US It is an indication of just how far the once extremely deprived area of Woolloomooloo has come when one of America's most prestigious hotel marques has opened one of its only non US hotels here in the former industrial Woolloomooloo Finger Wharf... This new hotel is the epitome of tasteful opulence and is perfectly placed to take maximum advantage of many of Sydney's most famous sights. Situated as it is in the converted wharf, as well as the W Hotel's own facilities there are at least a half dozen high class restaurants also on the ground floor - though if you fancy slumming it with the locals, there is always Harry's Cafe de Wheels a few metres away from the entrance... ;-) Perhaps one of the most striking things about staying at the W in Sydney is the sheer amount of choice in your rooms (check the website for the nine options), be it 'wharf' rooms with views of the Domain, or for Naval buffs, the Australian Navy docks - or the lofts, including the 'ultra' loft which at 98 sq mtrs represents an awful lot of room! Rates are, as you would expect, pretty steep but considering the reputation of W Hotels well worth it!
You need not stay at the W to appreciate its qualities, as I did living only about 5 minutes away... Simply come in and enjoy the wonderful space of the Living Room, W's lobby come stylish bar - or the award winning Water Bar: "Mix. Mingle. Shake and Stir. Welcome to the heart of W Sydney. The Water Bar has been named "Bar of the Year" by the Sydney Morning Herald, "Best Bar" by the Sydney Good Food Guide, and "One of the top 10 bars in the world" by Condé Nast Traveler. Stretch out on the banquettes, lie back on the vast ottomans, and embark on a new venture." Check out the website for great pics of this beautiful hotel!
