This is a new and extremely luxurious hotel in the Star City casino complex in Pyrmont (tell your taxi driver that it's at Star City). From outside the hotel doesn't look particularly fancy, and there's no grand entrance to the lobby. It appears to be a funky and hip hotel at checkin. But then you go upstairs, swipe to enter...

Stayed here one night as it was close to a friend's wedding. List point here is easier:- - Not the easiest valet to find. The men working at the casino side entrance look far more professional than the men at The Darling. I honestly thought some random guest was coming to my car to talk to me me when pulled... More

This is the last hotel my husband and I stayed at in Australia and it was the best! Like many other people we upgraded to the Jewel Spa Suite, Room 1284 to be exact, and it was well worth the extra money for our honeymoon. The bathroom alone is reason enough. Wonderful shower and amazing round jetted tub. I want... More

Last week I took my husband to The Darling for his 60th birthday and booking a courtyard view room with double bed on Zuji. When we arrived at this beautiful hotel we were greeted and told by the receptionist that she would get us up as high as possible for views and asked us if we wanted twin or double... More

If your reason for a Sydney trip involves a focus on the CBD (city centre), I'll start by saving you review time and suggesting you try something on the city side of Darling Harbour. If you're happy with a fifteen minute stroll or aren't so bothered about being near the CBD itself, read on... Hotel wise, the darling is around... More

I just returned from our long weekend stay at The Darling. From the moment we arrived we were treated like Kings. All Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were lovely. We stayed in the Jewel suite with a view of the Harbour. Great size room. We didnt touch the mini bar and I dont really like how the fridge... More

My husband and I stayed here on 30 & 31 May and found the service to be the standard of a 5 star hotel. We requested a room away from the lift and unfortunately found our way to a room straight next to the lift. After a brief phone call we were not only moved but upgraded. I am sure... More

This was a fantastic stay, absolutely faultless, we were upgraded to a jewel spa suite, and ended up staying a second night. I've stayed at most of the 5 star hotels in sydney and this rivals all of them for comfort and value. Going back in 6 weeks to do it all again.

A business colleague of mine and I stayed at the Darling Hotel in Sydney in May. We had previously stayed at The Star and seen the Darling being built. From the time we arrived we could not have been more impressed. The service was amazing. Even the fragrance in reception was a fabulous experience. Our suites were world class. The... More

The lobby is stunning but walking into our small suite was a "wow" experience, the elegant and simple appearance, great storage, comfortable furnishings, bed and linen, great bathroom, with 2 sinks and a round jacuzzi bath. Just when we thought we had seen the whole thing I was looking for the wardrobe and discovered a whole room off the bathroom.... More
