Shangri-La Luxury CircleVirtuoso
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
Shangri-La Sydney stands in the historic Rocks district, between the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, with restaurants, pubs and shops a short walk from its door.
Our team recommends
The hotel sits on a hill in The Rocks, the old quarter just north of the city centre, above Sydney Harbour. Circular Quay, with its trains and ferries, is an easy walk down, and the Harbour Bridge climb, the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Rocks Markets are close by. With luggage, arrive by car.
Breakfast at Altitude, on the 36th floor, was the highlight of our stay, with tables facing straight out over the harbour. Come early for a window seat, and try the eggs Benedict.
Blu Bar on 36, beside Altitude, is a sleek cocktail bar with the same sweeping view. We’d go up for a drink even when staying elsewhere.
The Health Club on the second level has a well-equipped gym, an indoor pool, a whirlpool and a sundeck. Chi, The Spa is on the same floor.
From our guests
Our team recommends
Our team found it best for the views, and for seeing The Rocks and the harbour on foot.
From our guests
Our guests write most about the views and the breakfast on the 36th floor.
From our guests
Our guests most often choose an Executive Opera House City Room, a Premier Harbour Bridge Room or a room on the Horizon Club floors.
Our team recommends
For the classic view, request a Sydney Harbour room, which faces the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House head-on. The Opera House City rooms see the Opera House from the side.
Without a suite, choose a Grand Premier Sydney Harbour Room, which takes in the bridge, the Opera House and the harbour across 270 degrees. The Executive Sydney Harbour Suite adds a separate lounge and a bath at the window, and a family can add a connecting harbour-view room. The suite we’d choose is The Governor Suite, with its own dining room and the same 270-degree sweep of the harbour.
From our guests
