Shangri-La Sydney

The Shangri-La Sydney sits on Cumberland Street in The Rocks, perched above Sydney Harbour near the Harbour Bridge and Circular Quay. One of the city's most prestigious hotels, it's a grand, five-star luxury stay — combining elegant accommodation with acclaimed dining (including its famous Altitude restaurant and bar high above the harbour), a spa and impeccable service, much of it with absolutely breathtaking views over the harbour, the bridge and the Opera House.

The appeal is that combination of genuine five-star luxury, exceptional facilities and a peerless harbourside location, with many rooms and venues offering jaw-dropping views over Sydney Harbour and its icons. For a truly special stay — a celebration, a romantic getaway or simply the best views in the city — its blend of elegance, service and that unbeatable harbour outlook makes it a standout.

With a 4.3 rating from more than 9,800 reviews, it's clearly delivering for its guests. Room types, rates, dining, the spa, facilities and availability vary with the season and demand, and a prestigious harbourside hotel books out around peak periods, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly well ahead — particularly if you're travelling at a busy time, want a harbour-view room, or are planning a special occasion in Sydney.
