The capital of the state of New South Wales, this colorful, beautiful and diverse metropolis is perhaps the best known city of any in Australia. A wide spectrum of accommodation exists in the city, and a luxury Sydney hotel is not only likely to be the best of its kind throughout the whole of Australia, but will surpass the expectations of the world's most discerning travelers.
Sydney hotels each have their own particular ethos and design. Many of the best have been established by internationally revered chains, while others exist solely in themselves. Naturally for a city of such prominence, there are a great many choices for visitors, each offering a wealth of options in terms of style, location and facilities.
Guests looking for extensive spa and fitness facilities will find more than one hotel which will surpass their expectations. Similarly, those who are looking to experience fine dining at its best will find establishments offering award-winning food and local wine. Other luxury Sydney hotels are likely to appeal to those looking for a romantic vacation while there are many which manage the trick of being intimate and having extensive amenities.
As a country which enjoys a rich history of enticing visitors from across the globe to partake of its manifold pleasures and pastimes, a Sydney hotel is the first choice for those who want to endow a trip with the kind of style, comfort and hospitality which makes the already special something exceptional.
The majority of visitors to this geographically and ecologically unique country generally find that this famous harbor city on the South East coast is their first port of call. The iconic Opera House, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the Australian equivalent in both nature and spectacle of New York's Lady Liberty.
But it is not only for the Opera House with its five theaters and resident Opera Company and Symphony that the city is known. As far as globally renowned landmarks go, the Harbor Bridge is equally noteworthy, if not quite as architecturally distinctive.
International visitors hoping to situate themselves close to these famous feats of architecture will not have to venture far to find a fine hotel with expansive views of both. Sydney hotels generally all have great views of some part of the city or ocean, but one or two of them offer the additional benefit of being located either in or around some lovely heritage architecture.
The Rocks is a particularly well known suburb of the city and is only minutes from the historic cove where the First Fleet from Britain landed in 1788. This was the site of the first settlement by Europeans in Australia. Guests of The Rocks suburb will be close to the cove and be able to enjoy the rich heritage of an area which also owns some of the finest classic architecture in New South Wales, if not the whole country.
Architecture is an art-form which is greatly revered in the city. It is a city which celebrates all arts and is the center of Australia's music and film industry, both having achieved considerable recognition internationally. The combination of natural beauty, the vibrant nightlife and the considerable creative input of the many local artists, architects and designers has helped forge a very beautiful, multicultural and cosmopolitan metropolis, affording curious visitors a cityscape and social vibrancy unlike any in the world.
Whether looking for a boutique-style establishment which displays an imaginative and innovative use of materials and space, or preferring a classic environ which takes its cue directly from the Victorian period, a luxury Sydney Hotel is likely to afford guests a style specific to their taste. A few are even located in heritage buildings from the Victorian period, affording an authentic sense of bygone sumptuousness.
Most of the boutique establishments are characteristically smaller and offer a feeling of intimacy which some of the larger Sydney hotels don't have. Although the larger establishments are likely to have a range of services and facilities which the boutique accommodations do not. The 'Harbor City' as it is often called, is one of the world's major centers of business and industry. As such many of the larger hotels have extensive facilities for corporate guests, including large conference and convention spaces, as well as numerous venues for smaller meetings.
Those who find themselves enjoying the typically excellent service and elegance of a five star hotel in the Central Business District will also have much of the city's best shopping right on their doorstep. Pitt Street has a number of excellent shops, including those located in the Queen Victoria Building, while more specialized and exclusive shops can be found on Oxford Street. Oxford Street along with Kings Cross and The Rocks are where much of the thriving nightclubs and restaurants are to be found.
Whether visiting this wonderful country for a specific festival or sporting event, or have come to sample a little bit of everything that makes it such a unique and desirable place, then a luxury Sydney hotel is the best base for both business and leisure travelers. Not only will guests of five star hotels have the full range of delights of Australia's oldest state in every direction, but they will also have the pleasure of some of the finest accommodations in the world.
