Sydney Hotels
March 4th, 2009 Posted in Sydney
Sydney has a bigger population than any other city in Australia. It attracts more international tourists than any other city in the country too. You could argue that Sydney could possibly have the most attractions in and around the city than any other on the mainland. The focus of Sydney is mainly on the harbour. With the two noticeable landmarks – the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House.
Just off the main harbour, Darling Harbour has attractions like the Sydney Aquarium, the Maritime Museum, monorail and Harbourside shopping and business district. Darling Harbour is right beside the Sydney CBD, and a monorail services both areas along with the Powerhouse Museum.
There are hundreds of Sydney hotels, which cover all budgets and lifestyles, be it for business or pleasure. The prices and star ratings go up for hotels that are closest to the water. There are 2 spectacular over water hotels at the base of the Harbour Bridge, the Sebel Pier One Sydney and the Park Hyatt Sydney. Other hotels with unequalled views of both the Harbour Bridge and Opera House include Quay Grand Suites Sydney and the Old Sydney Holiday Inn.
Along with some of Australia’s most iconic landmarks, the holiday getaway area of the Hunter Valley is just a few hours drive away. You’ll find the majestic Blue Mountains are also a few hours away and are a tourist destination in their own right.
