An imposing black tower standing sentinel over Sydney Harbour, the beautiful lines of Crown Sydney’s glass edifice are only a hint of the beauty within this glamorous hotel, shopping, dining, and residential complex.  Guests occupying the hotel’s 349 rooms, suites, and ultra-exclusive villas will be looked after by stellar staff whose seemingly effortless efforts make the guest experience perfect in every way.

Some people make immediate assumptions about casino hotels, none of which should apply to Crown Sydney.  Here, the casino is for members only, and its discreet presence in the building goes unnoticed by those who favour dinner tables over roulette tables.  Indeed, the superb bar and fine dining venues at Crown Sydney can’t help but be noticed.  Just off the Reception area on the ground floor are two of the hotel’s most vaunted restaurants.  Vista’Mare offers an excellent introduction to how much Crown Sydney values food and drink experiences.  An expansive waterside space where the airy atmosphere is echoed by the breezy personalities of amiable servers, Vista’Mare welcomes visitors with a warm welcome, further enhanced by an innovative menu of food and drinks—the printed menu itself as innovative as its contents.  Lucky patrons will see the fabulous Naomi whizzing across the floor, her perspicacious eye ensuring every run goes smoothly, with smiles omnipresent among staff and clientele alike.

Mere steps away from Vista’Mare is Woodcut, Crown Sydney’s highly acclaimed steakhouse where beef is the main attraction on a menu of enticing options.  When a dinner for two can easily run into four digits with no decimal points, satisfaction is a must and, happily, practically guaranteed given the attention paid to preparation and service here.  Connoisseurs of unusual foods will find an appetiser of Paspaley pearl meat irresistible before moving on to the main courses, sides, desserts, and wines.

Crown Sydney also offers other places to eat and drink, with the Cirq rooftop bar and lounge among the city’s most sought-after spots for cocktails after work or before dinner.  After a memorable evening of cocktails and dinner, breakfast is served at Epicurean, where Crown Sydney outdoes itself again with a vast array of options, friendly service, and a pleasing open-kitchen environment that starts the day on a thoroughly positive note.

Between dinner and breakfast is the accommodation itself.  Thanks to the tower’s unique architecture, rooms and suites vary in size and configuration.  Whether facing west to the sunset or east toward the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House, all rooms and suites have beautiful views.  Some Sydney hotels, even the most lauded ones, can seem somewhat dated compared to the high style of Crown Sydney, where floor-to-ceiling glass walls, ample wardrobe space, and indulgent bathroom features make private guest spaces comfortable and homelike.  There is no need to live out of a suitcase here.

Located in the Barangaroo district just west of The Rocks, Crown Sydney is a short walk along a splendid waterfront promenade from the Barangaroo Metro station, the Barangaroo Reserve, and The Rocks.  The promenade, popular with walkers and joggers, offers a relaxed urban escape despite its proximity to the CBD’s busyness.  Convenience, indulgence, relaxation, and luxury all within one very impressive hotel.
