Top Luxury Australia Vacation Packages

We booked Rydges as we were arriving in the evening from a long international flight, with a domestic Australian flight the next morning. Our stay was great. Once through customs, turn right while still in the airport building and follow the Rydges signs that lead you to the street crossing to the hotel. This was about a 5 minute walk and then a dash across the street in the rain. The check-in was fast and easy, the staff helpful and guided us on what to do in the morning. We were able to get a quick takeaway dinner from the onsite restaurant to have in our room, and the breakfast area opened at 5:30am, which was perfect. By 6 am, we crossed the street back to the airport to the T-bus sign (about a 2 minute walk) and the bus took us to the domestic terminal. The room was quiet by the way and had a nice view of the airplanes. All-in-all, a great visit.

I absolutely adore this property. Highly recommend the star for romantic getaways

Love this place. Excellent staff.

The Shangri-la in Sydney is a bit of a grand old dame, you know the bed is going to be very comfortable, and the hotel overall will feel very nice. It's also in a good spot. Where it comes undone is when you compare it to other Shangri-la hotels outside of Australia where the level of service is genuinely warm and everyone goes over and above expectations. You do not get that here. The service is perfunctory and "just enough", much like any other good 4 hotel. So yes, I would recommend for the location and quality of sleep but that's it. Also expect to have only one option for in-room breakfast which is $65 per person, not ideal if you don't have time for a leisurely buffet in the restaurant and only want a slice of toast and coffee!

This hotel is gorgeous! The staff were great, it smells amazing everywhere you walk. The room was spacious and the best touch was they delivered complimentary well presented cakes for my husbands birthday!
