Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park  

In the heart of Sydney, just steps from Hyde Park and a five-minute walk to Sydney Tower. This 5-star hotel sits within easy reach of Westfield Shopping Centre, SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium and the Sydney Opera House.

Sophisticated but comfortable rooms—558 air-conditioned guest rooms feature iPod docking stations, minibars, 55-inch LCD TVs, laptop-compatible safes and desks. Bathrooms have separate bathtubs and showers with complimentary toiletries; the property overall leans polished and warm, with multilingual staff on hand.

Pamper yourself at the spa with massages, facials and body treatments, or hit the 24-hour health club and indoor pool (plus a spa tub, sauna and steam room). Complimentary wired and wireless internet, a hair salon, concierge services, a coffee shop and a bar/lounge round out the on-site perks—perfect for park-side mornings and late-night cocktails.

Dine at Sydney Common (one-hatted restaurant) or enjoy High Tea and casual lunches at The Gallery; room service is available during limited hours and a coffee shop/café serves snacks. Buffet breakfasts are offered daily for a fee, with options that showcase local flavors.
