It's less than 3 weeks until hubby returns to Australia. I can't believe it will have been 7 weeks that we have been without him. We then have 2 weeks left here before we all fly back to the UK.
We have a couple of trips to Sydney lined up. Sydney, alongside Paris is one of our favourite cities in the world. As i'm sure you can appreciate there are so many hotels to choose from for when we stay but after endless searching on trip advisor and google, here's a list of one's that have caught my eye.
1) QT Sydney - The decor of this hotel stood out for me and grabbed my attention. It's gothic and quirky whilst incredibly romantic. I love all the reds against the black and whites on the room decor The building is steeped in history. It's in a brilliant location. It's within walking distance of family attractions that we want to visit. The reviews I have read are fab.
2) Swissotel - This hotel immediately came to my attention based on its location. It's right in the heart of the CBD which means you can walk to a lot of the main attractions from there. The rooms look lovely. They are modern and stylish. They even have a dedicated kids room which could be ideal for travelling families. It looks fantastic and is something I've not really seen before in such high star hotels. There is also a spa (which does a hot stone massage, my favourite) and pool which I always like when staying at a hotel. Eva loves swimming so we always try and pick hotels with a pool.
3) Pier One Sydney Harbour - This stunning hotel is part of Marriot's autograph collection and is award winning. It's situated in the Rocks area of Sydney. It's a great area to stay for sightseeing. The waterside rooms look incredible. They really are something very special. The views of Darling Harbour are breathtaking. They are elegantly decorated and look quite spacious.
4) Ovolo 1888 - This hotel is a bloggers dream come true. It was designed with instagram in mind. Perfect for me and my blog. It's located very near to Darling harbour which is one of my favourite areas in Sydney. There's lots of different room types to choose from to suit every travellers needs whether you're on your own or with a family. The loft, shaken and stirred room types would be best suited for us.
5) Sheraton on the Park - Last up is this lovely hotel. Sheraton hotels never disappoint and this one looks great. It's centrally located and has magnificent views of Hyde Park. There is also a health club and rooftop pool. I love rooftop pools so this was one of the things that attracted me to the hotel. I also am a huge fan of high tea back home in the UK and they have a fantastic looking one here at this hotel. The rooms are stunning. They look large, so perfectly sized for our family. The ambassador suite looks fit for a royal.
Which hotel do you like the look of? Keep an eye on my blog to see which hotels we chose to stay in.
Pier One on Sydney Harbour looks AMAZING!!!! WOW. And what an amazing view too!! I cannot WAIT to afford to go back to Oz. It's been almost 15 years since I was last there!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful isn't it x
DeleteWow - they all look stunning! Would love to visit to show my Sydney his namesake one day!
ReplyDeleteSo jealous, they all look amazing! That kids room is fab x
ReplyDeleteOh my God! These all look amazing but to be honest I would sleep under a jacket propped on a stick if it meant I could return to Oz. I have travelled extensively but I honestly think it's THE best country in the world.
ReplyDeleteIt is isn't it. We love it here. It's so family orientated x
DeleteOh wow! That kids room is amazing! You have to pick that one x
ReplyDeleteOh how gorgeous are all these! I love the sound of the Ovolo 1888 one! Have a great time. Kaz x
ReplyDeleteThey look amazing. Sydney is a destination I have always wanted to visit and I have family scattered throughout Australia too.
ReplyDeleteThese hotels are so beautiful, I don't even know which one to go for. I will be so confused if I were you. They all look so stylish with good views Maybe, you can take them in turns.
ReplyDeleteOK Swisshotel because why has no one ever thought to do a kids room before?! How awesome! I absolutely LOVE that idea! But if it was just me then Ovolo of course! how stylish! I looove it! But this is cruel waving these gorgeous hotels and sunny posts from lovely Sydney whilst we're all suffering the neverending rain over in Blighty! Hehehe! ;) Only teasing. Glad you're having such a blast. It's seriously the best time to be out there. Xxx
ReplyDeleteI know. I can't believe more hotels have never thought of putting in child themed rooms x

I really want to go to Australia. Those hotels all look absolutely stunning.
ReplyDeleteOh, that kids room is amazing but I think for me it would have to be the Ovolo 1888 - it looks just stunning and really luxurious.
ReplyDeleteI am loving the look of swissotel sounds like my kind of hotel and can not wait to see which you choose.
ReplyDeleteWon't be long till I reveal which ones x
DeleteI have never been to Australia, it's right up there on my places to visit list and some of these hotels look amazing! I really like the look of the Swissotel the second picture looks like a wonderful room if you have children. We always look for a pool when we book because we know how much the kids love to swim when we are away! xxxx
ReplyDeleteI think my faves are 2 & 3. Love that number 2 has a designated room for kids and that it looks like an actual room for kids. As for number 3, the views look absolutely stunning! :)
ReplyDeleteI so want to visit Australia - I love watching Wanted Down Under - these hotels look fab
ReplyDeleteI just love the fact that one of the hotels have a dedicated kids room, that would be a definite selling point for me, they would love it. I have always wanted to visit Australia, it seems so mellow and relaxed compared to here!
ReplyDeleteLoving the whole kids room thing, so much easier than having to be super duper quiet till they fall asleep! Ive never been too interested in Australia, too scared about spiders and the time different (I get the worst jet lag!) But these hotels looks very homely and cosy :) x
ReplyDeleteThey all look amazing. I kept thinking THIS is the one I'd stay in but then you described the next! I love roof top pools so that would probably win it for me.
ReplyDeleteThat's been the problem when I've been trying to narrow them down x
DeleteI have never been to Australia before but I have always wanted to go because the views are simply phenomenal and it would ma;ke a fantastic experience. Those hotels look so good!
ReplyDeleteAll look incredible! Especially Pier One. Have a fab time:)
ReplyDeleteThey all look amazing but I adore Pier One, we loved it on our visit to Sydney. I also love the sound of the Ovolo 1888! Have a fab time x
ReplyDeleteswisshotel looks AMAZING! My kids would adore that room, and I would too. I would love to visit Australia one day...nice to see some of the options, makes me want to go even more!
ReplyDeleteAll of these hotels look amazing! Although the second hotel looks fab, I love the kids room and I'm sure Sophie would too! x
ReplyDeleteIt looks fab for the kids x
DeleteAhhh what if give to go and stay in any of these hotels right now! What a great trip that would be! I like the second one best of all xx
ReplyDeleteI want to go to Australia RIGHT NOW!!
ReplyDeleteWow, some beautiful hotels there! I'm boring and don't travel because of my anxiety unfortunately, so wherever I went I probably wouldn't leave my room anyway, hahah! x
ReplyDeleteSo jealous. I too love Darling Harbour. Sydney is my favourite place in the world. There's something so magical about the whole area around Circular Quays. Ahh my inlaws are there right now staying in Darling Harbour and I can't wait to see the pics when they come back x
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Australia, but would love to one day. My husband used to live there x
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Australia, it looks amazing. Those hotels look fantastic places to stay x
ReplyDeleteSydney is always my first choice whenever I think of enjoying my holidays. Only last time I changed my holiday destination point and visited Newman "Mia Mia House in the Desert" hotel which amazed me a lot with its warm welcome!
ReplyDeleteThis time I would surely visit the given place as I love explore new place and things.
Keep sharing!
