Fantastic views of the bridge and the harbour. Worth staying for this alone but the rooms and service are also excellent.

Pier One Sydney Harbour, Marriott Autograph Collection
Perfect location. Friendly staff, though we were asked about 100 times if they could take our luggage for us. They were a tad annoying in this respect. The room was a bit small, but comfortable with a nice view. The bar was great.

The Langham, Sydney
Great staff and wonderful stay. The only issue was the kettle spurting boiling water when used, but we still felt very welcome and would highly recommend this place.
