"Enjoy harbour views at this sophisticated Four Seasons, with a grown-up interior, sumptuous suites and brilliantly attentive staff."
When known as the Regent, this 5-star luxury hotel became a Sydney icon. Now it is the only Australian hotel in the Four Season’s stable; completely refurbished in 1999, it was the base for the IOC during the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000. On the southern fringe of the Rocks, much of Sydney’s best is by the front door.
The facilities
The foyer is cavernous and surrounded by warm, earthy tones. Should you get lost within the vastness, however, the smiling staff are so attentive, they will no doubt swiftly answer cries for help. The luxury hotel is the only 5-star with an outdoor pool in Sydney. There is an adjoining cabana and elsewhere, a café, lounge When known as the Regent, this 5-star luxury hotel became a Sydney icon.

The facilities
The foyer is cavernous and surrounded by warm, earthy tones. Should you get lost within the vastness, however, the smiling staff are so attentive, they will no doubt swiftly answer cries for help. The luxury hotel is the only 5-star with an outdoor pool in Sydney. There is an adjoining cabana and elsewhere, a café, lounge bar (complete with piano player) and restaurant called Kable’s. The executive chef, a French Canadian, serves only Australian produce and works closely with local producers. There is a host of business facilities and wheelchair access.
The rooms
The 531 rooms at the Four Seasons Sydney include 121 suites and many rooms have harbour views. Standard rooms are smaller compared to other 5-stars in the city and showers are over the baths. In something of a trade off, king size beds are standard; as are thick bath robes and over-sized towels. According to Fours Seasons folk, every room at the luxury hotel gets a yearly makeover and that accounts for the good order. Should your great aunt leave you her fortune, there are elaborately furnished, warehouse-size executive suites almost certainly capable of satisfying the most difficult of pop divas.
