Check in was delayed an hour but the staff kept us updated and we were upgraded to a beautiful suite on an upper floor. Room was immaculate with a gorgeous view of the bay. Excellent breakfast, and afternoon tea and evening wine with hors d’oeuvres. Staff was consistently helpful and courteous.
Perfect location especially for our needs with wanting to be located close to circular quay and the rocks. Amazing view of the opera house from both our room and level 36. The lunch was also delicious in the altitude restaurant, and the service was fab. The gym was good, and the spa was also wonderful! The room was also lovely. Thank you!
As expected then Shangri-La had good breakfast options and view from club lounge. The in-room dining options were also excellent.
There was direct view of Sydney bridge and Sydney opera house from my room and walking distance away too.
