 Large rooms, awesome balcony by jlanza29 Well, last time I was in Sydney we stayed at the Four Seasons in Circular Quay, but to my disappointment, it was full,(The international boat show was in town) and we had to opt for another hotel, and WE are SOOOO Glad we did. This Mariott is located at the end of Hyde Park is a very elegant hotel, with impecatable service. The rooms are nice and large, HUGE bathrooms, microwave ovens, wine glasses, mini fridge, ironing boards, everything that a 5 star hotel provides at 4 star hotel prices !!!! ...all standard.......85% of the rooms face the park, and the hotel staff is one of the best I have encountered anywhere in the world. The concerige's, the bell hops, the front desk, whatever the need, they had the answer !!!! Instead of paying $400 AU a night at the Four Seasons, We ended up paying $275 AU for a suite and the room was larger and better than the suites at the Four Seasons........and next time I come to Sydney, I will stay here again, no questions !!!!! UPDATE : MAY 2008 I must say I was disppointed in the changes made here....They have renovated the hotel in these dark hues, dark brown, dark red, very ugly tones, and they have made staff wear casual polo shirts as uniforms, very informal.......this property has lost it's touch, don't know if i'll stay again !!!! The suite I paid for in 2004 for $275 AU is now $500 AU !!!!!
on the 27th floor this hotel has a swimming pool, and small work out gym.......When arriving past midnight, the front sliding glass doors are locked and one must buzz the front desk to open for you.......and once inside, you must swipe a room key in order to get the elevators to work.........this security is great....especially for a female traveler !!!!

We stayed there for 10 days in January 2006. Although the lobby may come across as cold and stark, the staff were very accomodating and very pleasant. The concierge lounge was closed for renovations, so we were able to have drinks, etc. and free breakfast in the restaurant. In the evening, 6 or so tables were 'reserved' for those who would have had the lounge. The guest rooms were roomy and comfortable. The bathroom was huge and the shower/bath huge as well. Location is excellent. Right at Hyde Park, and a block or so from two train stations - Museum and St. James. Just down the street was a bus stop that would give us buses to Circular Quay. Shopping at the QVB, Pitt Street, and high end stores (Louis Vuitton, Chanel) about a 10 minute or so walk. For dinners, if you wanted to stay in the neighborhood just another 10-15 minute walk to Stanley and Riley Street area - and several restaurants - great people watching and decent food. (The Hard Rock Cafe is about a 20 minute walk from hotel.) The hotel staff gave good advice on restaurants, sightseeing how-to's,etc. The pool area, though small, was more than adequate. We did not eat in the restaurants - except breakfast - so cannot offer tips on that. When we return to Sydney we will definitely return to the Marriott.
