Absolutely stunning views of the Harbour. The best Roof Top bar in the City, and the Treasury on the ground floor has the best staff, choice of beverage and light meals. The rooms are excellent, as is the room service. All around excellent.

Great hotel, beautiful room. I was upgraded which was a lovely surprise. The only down side its the cost of the parking - $89! ridiculous. And the time it took to checkin. I waited at least 15-20 minutes. Other than that, great stay

Fine for an overnight stay.
The hotel was fine for a one night stay. Observed that most of the other guests were business people. The one disappointment was not being able to access the roof bar. It’s open to the public and hotel guests don’t appear to have any preferential booking status. The ground floor bar is relaxed and has good food at hotel prices and pleasant staff.
