Request Opinion of Hotels

Can someone who has been there recently tell me which of these hotels is the most opulent and in the best location in Sydney for a first-class meeting/workshop: Intercontinental (with which I’m familiar); Quay Grand; Marriott Circular Quay.

Thank you!

    Hi Alan,

    I recently stayed at the Marriot, it was nice, but perhaps over priced. Next time I believe I will stay in Darling Harbour.

    I do however, recommend having dinner at Aria, food is superb, with wonderful views of both the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. If it is a weekend meal, I would book well in advance.

    I’ve been to Aria many times, I like it as well.

    I’m in Sydney each week and I stay mainly at the InterContinental. You’ve held your MDCC there before.
    The Quay Grand has great suites and I stay there about once a month, usually when I’m with family. But the meeting rooms may not be as you need. If you want to e-mail your must-haves for the meeting rooms I can take a look next week when I am at the Quay Grand and give you a comparison to what you used at the InterC.
    Rgds,
    Ric

    Thanks, simply 30 people in classroom seating. What do you think of the Shangri-la?

    Shangri-La is equivalent in standard to the InterContinental and not far away (over at The Rocks area) but parking is a nuisance. Not that parking is really a concern for your attendees. Club Floor is more appealing at InetrC because you can smoke a cigar, which you cannot do at the Club Floor of the S-L.

    The conference rooms at Grand Quay have no windows or view, so like the InterC, there’s no external stimulation. I’m also not convinced that the conference rooms staff will have the level of customer service you would be used to.

    Are you not considering returning to the Park Hyatt on the water?

    Park Hyatt is closed for renovations, or I’d be there.
