Style and character

Built in 1989 and revamped in 2017, the Sydney Harbour Marriott epitomises Sydney luxury. As one of the city’s most established accommodations, it stands as a venerable landmark. For locals, the iconic triangular-shaped skyscraper is a familiar feature of the skyline, seamlessly blending historical significance with modern elegance.

The design epitomises Sydney luxury.

Guests arriving at the hotel are greeted by an expansive and sleek foyer which sets the tone for the rest of the accommodation. A handsome palette of dark timber, black panelling and white marble elevates the overall ambience. Moving through the building brings you to the central dining space which anchors the hotel. An architectural staircase and modern pendant lights tower above and make for a stunning focal point that draws the eyes up.

Guestrooms boast the same spacious and elegant style but with a lighter palette that reflects the surrounding harbour.

Rooms

The 595 guestrooms and 52 suites range from comfortable king rooms to expansive split-level loft suites. Modern and spacious, they feature a subdued palette of blues, creams and browns which bring a decidedly sophisticated and calm feel to the accommodation – perfect for unwinding after a busy day in the office or exploring the city.

The bi-level presidential suite aptly features a more royal palette of purple, red and green across two bedrooms, a kitchen, a separate living area and a separate dining area.

All rooms have views – whether of the skyline, the Sydney Opera House or the Sydney Harbour Bridge – which make you feel truly immersed in the city. The bathrooms aren’t as modern as the bedroom and living rooms, but they are well-maintained and roomy with some featuring spa baths.
