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.”
