Sydney: Where to Stay: Luxury: Four Seasons Hotel Sydney

Four Seasons Hotel Sydney

This hotel may not quite live up to the standards the brand is famous for (a former Regent, it’s overdue for a revamp), but it does have the advantage of a killer location, facing Circular Quay in the Rocks, and a top-of-the-line spa featuring Elemis treatments. With 531 rooms and suites, it serves as the hotel of choice for large groups of travelers, high-end cruise ships and convention or conference groups, which diminishes the charm for individual travelers. The plush contemporary furnishings will neither wow or offend anyone. Tip: The rooms on the highest floors (thirty-two to thirty-four) have the best views. Rooms from $275.
