Intercontinental Hotels Sydney

It was very modern and chic with an old vintage flare. The building was the original police department in Sydney, however has been rebuilt with quality furnishings and design. Close to the Harbor was great! Also appreciate the money exchange @ frt desk

I did not like the valet service much. We would call 15-20 mins before we left and the car was never ready. We usually had to wait an addtl 10+ mins for our car. This was regardless if we were the only ones leaving. There was usually 2 to 3 valets!

Welcomed at 8.30am as we walked in off our cruise liner(bags stowed, access 2 change rooms for re-arranging bags,quick shower.Complimentary drinks through IHG mem. Offerred more biscuits+invited to stay. Large rooms. Compl. b/fast in gorgeous venueGT8Food

Significant issue,bathroom plumbing! Very disappointed. Intrusive 2 our evening together. Missed going 4 pool swim b4 9pm. Water gushed from floor grating as bath plug pulled(add hot water) flooding area+carpet. Staff prompt/plunged floor pipes. Rm1313!!

The 'king size bed' was two twins joined (very common outside of USA but not acceptable at this level property). Furthermore the bed was on wheels. Similarly in the club lounge the chairs are either too low or just not comfortable -- a big disappointment for such a stunning setting. Staff however were top notch. A+++

Quick Break

Room was comfortable, clean and good size. Breakfast buffet was excellent it was included in my nightly rate. Had the seafood buffet as well which was good. Lobby bar has good ambience. Happy hour 4-6pm at Meat & Co good value. Some nice extra touches like weight scale in the bathroom, suit brush and shoe horn in cupboard. Good size desk and seat under the window a nice touch.

Check in quite slow even though I had priority check in. Restaurant Opera for seafood buffet dinner told there was two sittings but after electing to do second sitting it didn't seem to actually be policed. Coffee should be included in the buffet price. No USB sockets. Clunky TV menu and interface.
