Hotels In Sydney Australia - A Luxurious Rest After An Adventurous Day

When you vacation at breathtaking Australia you may be tempted to reserve an economy hotel with dorm-style rooms and cramped beds. After your day in the Outback watching fresh water crocodiles, or diving the Great Barrier Reef, perhaps it would be exquisite to rest your weary body in one of the luxury hotels in Sydney Australia.

Service at the Shangri-La, number 5 on the top 5 list, is top priority. This exceptional 563 room hotel is contemporary in its Eastern decor with spacious rooms, and large luxurious beds. A first-class restaurant and bar on the high on the 36th floor proffer astounding views, and the hotel offers a world-class spa, health club, and fitness center.

Lavishness in the Regency style marks number 4 on our list - The Observatory Hotel. This elegant hotel is tucked away on a side street, away from the hustle and bustle of the Rocks district in Sydney. Rooms are spacious and feature marble and glass bathrooms with oversize tubs. Slippers and robe are thoughtfully provided. You'll find the modern niceties inside the cabinets - hidden away to maintain the ambiance. The observatory offers a heated pool, day spa, tennis court and gym - and welcomes children and small pets.

Number 3 on our list stands on a finger of the old wharf extending out over the water in Woolloomooloo. Picturesque views of the marina, harbour and city will draw you here. The Blue's loft-style rooms are distinctive, placing the roomy beds above the living space for extra airiness. Rather than the stark minimalist decor chosen by other places, the Blue plunges its visitors into a riot of rich textures and colors to fill the senses. There will be no need to go ashore if you don't want to - the Blue and wharf feature several exceptional restaurants, bars and shops.

Counting down to number 2, the Medusa Hotel is a stylish 18th century converted Victorian townhouse located in Sydney's boutique district. While traditional Victorian on the exterior, inside this hotel is all modern, all art. Bright, brilliant and bold, the rooms boast large beds and marble baths. Vibrant and spectacular, the Medusa attracts young and innovative visitors. While it has no bar or restaurant, never fear - Darlinghurst is home to countless shops, restaurants, and other establishments.

At the top of our list at number 1, The Establishment Hotel offers large, plush rooms of either starkly Japanese decor or subtle European colors. Sumptuous beds offer restful nights on Egyptian cotton sheets. Fresh flowers, massage services, and other opulent amenities make you feel pampered. The Establishment's world-class restaurants and bars draw locals for the city's most glittering nightlife. It's possible this hotel is near perfect.

The Park Hyatt Sydney did not make the top 5 list, not because it is not worthy - it's customers simply did not participate in the rating. We would be remiss, however if we did not discuss what is arguably one of the most extraordinary hotels in Australia. Looking across Sydney Cove, the elegant hotel housed within this understated facade is truly impressive. Soothing, classic European colors grace spacious rooms with sumptuous beds. Remote controls operate not only the television but the drapes - prompting a startling view of the ocean. A 24 hour butler is available to provide for your every need, and you'll dine exquisitely in their world-class restaurant.

It's the vacation of a lifetime with adventures just waiting for you as you voyage to the underside of the world. Sure - any cut-rate hotel room would suffice, probably. But maybe this is your chance to revel in luxury.
