Sheraton on the Park, Sydney
161 Elizabeth Street, Sydney, New South Wales, 2000, Australia
Sheraton on the Park Sydney is located next to Hyde park and also St. James station which connects to Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport via the Airport Link Train. However, if you are not traveling solo, I would recommend taking a cab to the hotel from the airport as its cheaper and more convenient. This hotel is a SPG Category 5 property with a complimentary night costing 12,000 SPG points.
We checked in early in the morning around 9 AM and our rooms were not ready. The front desk agent gave us keys to the on-property Spa (On The Park Rejuvenation Day Spa) so we could freshen up and then drop our luggage with the bellman while we went sightseeing.
We were a group of 4 and had booked 2 rooms for 2 nights. My room got upgraded to a corner room which ended up being my parents room. The other room was a standard room.
The bed was extremely comfortable and I had a good night sleep on both nights.
Both me and Karen are SPG Gold members and also have access to Club Lounges at any Sheraton Property with our American Express SPG card. The Club Lounge at this Sheraton is pretty big and had plenty of breakfast options.
The lounge also had evening appetizer hour which featured some cold as well as hot appetizers. Unfortunately we availed it for only one day as we were out sightseeing the other time.
Thumbs up:
- Excellent location in the heart of Sydney , less than 2 km from Opera House.
- Located right next to St. James station that allowes easy transportation access to rest of the city. Also you can catch either the 333 and 389 bus to get to Bondi beach right across the hotel.
- Very nice Club Lounge with great customer service by lounge attendants
Thumbs down:
- 12,000 SPG points per night is not exactly a great value for this hotel.
