Bestin Town

This hotel was fantastic, there was no doubt. From the moment you arrived, the service was spectacular. Hotel check in was swift - the only downside, was the pre-authorisation amount the hotel holds on your credit card - I didn't read the fine print and was astonished to find an additional $700 unavailable on my credit card due to this. The room is like a mini apartment - it was so spacious. There was a separate toilet and the bathrooom was huge, with a massive bath tub and separate large shower stall. There were also double basins. The best bit is you can watch tv from the bathtub thanks to remote controlled blinds dividing the bathroom from the bedroom. There was loads of cupboard space for your belongings, a writing desk and chairs and fully stocked bar (though warning that these are really expensive items!) There was even 4 different sorts of glasses for your drinking requirements! I didn't check out the gym or the pool, but there was a business centre for use (very slow internet connection). The restaurants in the hotel complex were great. Check out was also smooth.

Unique Quality: The beds! Oh my goodness - you would not believe how comfortable the bedding and pillows were. The best bit is - you can actually buy the setting! Truly - check the Westin's website for further details.

Excellent Venue

We stayed at The Westin Sydney, on a thursday and a sunday in the same week. All the staff that we had dealings with were friendly and very helpful. The rooms were beautiful and the beds oh so comfortable. Couldn't fault the service or the meals really, except for being a tad slow with topping up our cup of tea at breakfast, but that is nothing really. The facilities are excellent. The hotel is spotless. The Westin is in the CBD, and is a 5 min walk to the train station and only a few minutes to the monorail station. So, everything is at your fingertips. If I was asked to find a fault with this hotel, I would say that it is not well sign posted once you get off the train and walk to Martin Pl. But, you just have to walk a little and keep an eye out.
I would highly recommend this Hotel to everyone.

Class hotel in the heart of Sydney

We had a wonderful time in this hotel and recommend it to anyone wanting style and sophistication. The facilities and service are first class while the location could not be more central. Rooms were thoroughly cleaned daily and amenities were great. Sydney has a lot to offer visitors travelling with young kids.

Watch TV from your bath!

Location in a beautiful heritage Post Office building in Sydneys CBD area of Martin Place this area is thriving with suits!

This is not just a hotel but a whole experience. From the cheese room and osyter bar in the basement to the beautiful rooms. You can wander around the old part of this hotel to look at some amazing architecture.

This is predominately a business hotel, however they cater to leisure guest and have one of the most prestigious gyms in the city.

Hotel rooms are modern, streamlined and one of the best things is that you move the bathroom mirrors to view the bedroom and the TV!

Superb Service, Great Decoration, Right on CBD

Superb service. Room decorations are beautifull. Right next to the city center for shopping and business, as well as within walking distance to the toruistic areas. Great restaurant on the premises, or you can walk to Circular Quay (ferry terminal, The Rocks area, and The Opera House).

Unique Quality: Internet service. Fitness club (for a steep fee). The Old Post office shopping and dining complex is right within the premises, offering extra (sometimes more reasonable) dining options.

Hard to find a flaw in this hotel

I can only add to the praise other reviewers have posted on this website. My wife and I started and ended our two week stay in Australia at the Westin Sydney. We spent a total of four nights at this hotel, and were impressed with everything from the decor of the Tower rooms (very stylish), demeanour of the staff (extremely friendly), to the accessibility to harbour and other Sydney sights (all walking distance).

We were able to get upgrades to their club-level suites (my wife and I both have status with Starwood), but even if you are not a member of the program, I highly recommend you consider paying the difference to purchase a stay at the club-level. This will afford you access to the wonderful club lounge, where refreshments are served all day long. My wife and I enjoyed the food here so much that we found ourselves skipping meals out on the town. If you think about it, you'll make back the extra money you shell out for an upgrade by saving on food expenditures around Sydney.

Overall we had an amazing experience at the Westin -- our room was possibly one of the best that we have ever stayed in. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone considering accommodation in Sydney.

Very Fresh.....

Beautiful historic exterior and unique all new interior design. Choose from a modern Heritage suite with higher ceilings and checked bathroom tiles or a contemporary suite. Situated in the centre of Sydney - easy walking distance to each major area of the city including major shops and sights. Excellent location.

Unique Quality: I loved the nice bathroom / bath tub set up!

A perfect hotel at a perfect price

We chose the Westin for the Sydney leg of our honeymoon after reading some good reviews online. We were not disappointed. We opted for a room in the modern Tower rather than the period-style Heritage rooms in the older part of the building. The hotel was absolutely perfect. Flawless (and I mean flawless) service, a luxurious, contemporary-style room and all at a great price. I cannot find a single fault with the Westin. You may not have a view of the Opera House, but let's face it, how long are you going to spend sitting in your room looking out the window? The lower rates more than make up for this, in my opinion. As it was our honeymoon, a relative had kindly paid for an upgrade to the 'Executive package' which includes complimentary Continental breakfast, use of the Executive lounge (newspapers, TV, pre-dinner drinks etc) and other benefits. The rack rate for this upgrade is 66 AUSD per night but I think discounts are available, so you might want to consider it. We also tried the hotel's non-complimentary breakfast buffet which was very impressive too. Try the eggs royale!The Westin also has the advantage of having some great restaurants in its basement floor, so you don't have to travel very far to find a good place to eat (we actually found the CBD area of Sydney a little short of places to have dinner at night so this was a bonus). The basement bar/dining area is buzzing on a Friday night, quieter at the weekends. All in all, I would give the Westin a perfect 10 out of 10.

Unique Quality: Outstanding selection of restaurants on premises. Central location provides easy access to whole city. Wonderful service.

5* hotel in the heart of the city

The Westin Sydney, located in the heritage listed redevelopment of the General Post Office, originally constructed in 1887, and converted to a hotel around 1999. Flanked on either side by Sydney's famous Pitt and George Street, overlooking Martin Place, the hotel is close to Pitt Street Mall and Queen Victoria Building shopping, the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and Darling Harbour.

Unique Quality: The rooms have a clear glass dividing wall between the bedroom and bathroom, making the rooms appear larger and of course there is the novelty factor! Very new and modern rooms.

More about Westin Sydney (The)

Wonderful hotel, made the trip

by A TripAdvisor Member

My husband and I stayed at the Westin, Sydney for 5 days in July, and it was one of the best hotels I have stayed at. We were in a standard tower room, which was beautiful, clean, well-staffed, and well-kept. And the bathroom! A huge soaker tub (sparkling clean, also) with room for two, a separate shower with a rain shower head, and glass for one wall (with a shade that could be lowered), which meant it actually had plenty of light inside, unlike most hotel bathrooms. The heavenly bed was. The location in the central business district is ideal for tourists, an easy walk to Circular Quay, the metro, or quite a few tourist sites. While it is a business hotel, it was also ideal for a vacation, and was the perfect hotel for us. I enjoyed every minute, and highly recommend it.
