Its central position puts guests within easy reach of Darling Harbour, Chinatown, Capitol Theatre, Pitt Street Mall and the QVB. The hotel is also a short walk from Town Hall and Central stations, with light rail and buses close by for trips towards Circular Quay, the Opera House, The Rocks and other parts of greater Sydney.
The accommodation includes 458 rooms and suites, ranging from Deluxe and Executive king rooms to twin, family, accessible and two-bedroom options.

A rooftop gym is available daily, and the business centre provides computers, high-speed internet and photocopying for guests who need to work while travelling.
Dining is covered on site at Amber Restaurant, which serves breakfast and modern Australian food, and Sydney Cidery, a bar offering cider, craft beers and cocktails. The Lobby Cafe provides takeaway coffee, while 24-hour room service is available for guests who prefer to eat in. With Sydney’s broader restaurant and food scene immediately outside, the hotel suits visitors who want convenient in-house options without being tied to the property for every meal.

Its event centre has twelve flexible spaces across 600 square metres and can accommodate up to 550 people, with catering and audiovisual support available. The rooms and facilities make it suitable for corporate groups, weddings, receptions and other events, while families can choose from family rooms and take advantage of the hotel’s central location.
