Aquarium-bred White's Seahorses have been released into Sydney Harbour as part of a conservation project. Guests can download animal rescue posters to assist in the rescue and rehabilitation of local marine species. The aquarium also has an online gift store with eco-friendly products.

“W Sydney certainly makes a splash with its daring design and rooftop views; the pool deck alone feels worth the trip. I'm intrigued by the interactive event spaces, perfect for those who want a bit more than the standard ballroom, and the central location puts the best of Sydney within easy reach. Ultimately, this is a hotel that matches Sydney's own bold energy.”

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about W Sydney Hotel from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The W Sydney is appreciated for its excellent location in Darling Harbour, offering convenient access to attractions and restaurants, with Sydney CBD within walking distance. Guests often rave about the modern and colourful decor and the spacious rooms with comfortable beds and harbour views; some rooms even feature quirky touches like a giant soft shark. While some guests have occasionally found the cleaning service inconsistent or experienced issues with in-room amenities, many have also enjoyed the diverse breakfast buffet and the pool on the 29th floor.

perfect pressurewarm servicecomfortable experience

Yukari at the Away Spa gave me a wonderful pamper package. Her skill and attentiveness were perfect! She made sure I was both comfortable and warm during my treatment. I really appreciated the perfect pressure she applied. I felt genuinely cared for throughout the entire experience.

The small lobby area can get very crowded, so I suggest arriving during off-peak hours.
