"Our stay started with a bang, as we checked in on a Saturday we had front row seats to all Darling Harbour fireworks from our harbour facing room."
Alexandra
Situated a mere 1.9 km from the grassy Observatory Hill Park and merely 450 metres from the heritage-listed swing Pyrmont Bridge, the elegant W Sydney Hotel features 4 lounges. Boasting a location a few steps from the federally operated Australian National Maritime Museum, the 5-star smoke-free hotel includes 588 rooms and a year-round outdoor swimming pool.
Location
This Sydney hotel is near the entertainment district of Sydney and within 5 minutes' walk of the Harbourside Shopping Centre. A business area, where the W Sydney sits, grants access to cultural attractions like the Powerhouse Museum, which is only 1.4 km away.
Guests can easily get in touch with the history of Sydney by visiting the National Anzac War Memorial, located nearly 20 minutes' walk from the accommodation.
Museum railway station is 850 metres away, while Kingsford Smith airport is 5 km from the hotel.
Rooms
The rooms at the W are air-conditioned and fitted with a flat-screen TV with satellite channels as well as a minibar fridge, tea and coffee-making facilities. There are air-conditioned bedrooms and private bathrooms with a walk-in shower and a separate toilet provided. They come with marvellous views of Darling Harbour.
Eat & Drink
Guests can try breakfast, usually served at one of the on-site restaurants, for example at Btwn. Also, the W Sydney features a rooftop bar.
Leisure & Business
The property offers options for sports and relaxation in a steam room and a foot bath, or at a fitness studio. A full spa will surely add to a perfect stay.
“W Sydney impresses with its modern design and prime Darling Harbour location, though initial service hiccups can occur. The rooftop pool and stylish bar on the 29th floor offer exceptional city views, making it a strong choice for those seeking a contemporary Sydney experience. The hotel's emphasis on aesthetics over pure functionality may appeal more to some travelers than others.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews

The W Sydney is praised for its amazing location right on Darling Harbour, providing easy access to attractions like Sea Life and Darling Square. Guests consistently highlight the hotel's modern and stylish design, with colorful rooms and harbor views from the rooms that some found superb, the wet deck and the indoor pool also stand out as fun amenities. Some guests, however, have noted that the rooms can feel a little warm. Guests can also enjoy quality juices and smoothies at the complimentary breakfast.
