Anyone been to Sydney? Trying to decide between the Westin and Sheraton for an anniversary trip. There is also a design hotel (the Old Clare) but we want to redeem our suite nights so not an option

Sheraton on the park all the way

like

I stayed at the pier one (Marriott autograph) you don’t need a suite upgrade because it’s literally on a pier underneath the harbor bridge. Prettier sunsets, awesome breakfast, great rooms

like

Stayed at the Westin. It was nice enough but very limited elite recognition (no upgrade, etc.)

Old Clare is by far and away my favourite because I’m sick of standard ‘business’ hotels. That said, between Westin and Sheraton I’d also vote Sheraton. They recently renovated the rooms and it’s in a great location (but then so is the Westin). The Westin has much better food options in the actual building, but I don’t know how important that is.

Sheraton also has a better gym with pool, steam room, and sauna, and the club lounge is quite nice vs. the average Sheraton.

Thanks all! So helpful

Yesssss another vote for Sheraton. It is pretty big and can feel like a 'conference hotel' (lots of tour groups) but, big rooms, comfy beds, nice rooftop pool/gym, get a room with views of the park, and best club lounge in town.

Sheraton all the way. Pier One’s location is not that great - basically a poor mans grand Hyatt with a decent walk to cCrcular Quay.

I liked Pier One personally, agreed on the amazing free breakfast for platinum members

Sheraton is pretty good. Was there in December. Make sure to get the club rooms (recently renovated)
