The Hyatt Regency Sydney enjoys a fantastic location on Darling Harbour, putting guests within easy reach of the shopping district and train stations, as well as Barangaroo. Many find the rooms spacious, with some offering pleasant views of Darling Harbour, and the rooftop bar is a popular spot to enjoy the scenery. While the parking fees are considered quite high by some, the hotel's proximity to the QVB (Queen Victoria Building) and other attractions makes it a convenient base for exploring Sydney.

harbour dreams

balcony viewfriendly staffdarling harbourbathroom design
I was so glad the hotel upgraded our room to one with a balcony overlooking the harbour. xavier was very kind, he checked us in early in the morning. the staff was friendly throughout our stay. the location is wonderful. Darling harbour is right there, i discovered.
The public transport is a bit of a walk away from the hotel. This requires some planning. i didn't especially love the bathroom, it could use some improvements! though the rest of the stay was wonderful.

Harbour Views and Convenient Location

The room was a King Room Balcony Darling Harbour View. I saw Darling Harbour Marina from the narrow but long balcony. The large stand-alone tub in the bathroom was a nice feature. Restaurants and bars were close by. The hotel also has several restaurants and bars including Sailmaker.
I found that some of the extras in the room were chargeable.

the hotel's location near darling harbor was acceptable.
The lack of english breakfast tea at the conference was annoying. one staff member said the hotel ran out. I felt this was unacceptable. the hotel shuts down all bars at 10 pm, a problem if you are traveling for a holiday.

Convenient Stay with Harbour Proximity
