I stayed at Crown Towers Perth in Sep 2022 and June 2023. I also stayed in Crown Towers Melbourne in Dec 2022. Thus, the next logical move is to stay in Crown Towers Sydney to complete my experience in staying at all 3 Crown Towers Hotel in Australia. I finally did that. Stayed at Crown Towers Sydney from 3 Nov to 8 Nov 2023. Today is 8 Nov 2023 and I will be checking out shortly. I stayed at an opera king room which has views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House. The room was very well lit and nice. Just the appropriate size for a sole traveller. I also managed to try most of the restaurants in Crown Towers Sydney except Yoshii Omakase which is so hard to book and Silks. I did not managed to book Yoshii even when it opened for booking. Guess too many people booking. I tried Epicurean for breakfast, dinner at A’Mare, Nobu, Woodcut and Oncore by Clare Smyth. I did not try Silks since being an Asian Chinese, I normally do not eat Chinese food when I go holiday. Got to try other food instead. My favourite restaurant is undoubtedly Oncore where I ordered the 7 course seasonal tasting menu. Superb. Woodcut was also good where I ordered their sirloin steak. Nobu was also nice as it completed my tour of all 3 Nobu in Australia having previously eaten at Nobu Perth and Melbourne when I stayed at Crown Towers there. For Nobu , I ordered the X Haku Omakase which is 5 course. The star of the course was the lobster. Overall I have enjoyed my stay in here. As Sarah Brightman is coming to Sydney in Aug to Oct 2024, I have already booked my tickets to watch her performance at Sydney Opera House in Sep 2024 and also booked a 4 night stay at Crown Towers Sydney again. For the future, I do hope Crown Towers Sydney can have a Crystal Club for breakfast like what Perth and Melbourne has. Also, hope to see more shops/entertainment areas at Crown and also a provision/gift/snack shop here at Crown Towers Sydney.

Just want to give a heads up of our experience. 1. Arrival - The traffic was banked down the road due to One of Sydney's biggest hotels only having 1 active drop off lane when arriving and one lane each way on the road. Took about 15-20 mins from where we first stopped, to getting out of the car. 2. For some reason the check in process took about 15 minutes. I don't understand why when they have all your information and credit card details in the booking, you have to go though the entire process upon check in again? 3. We arrived early at about 12.30, checked in and went for lunch to wait for our rooms to be ready. They advised our bags would be in the rooms. When we got our message and went to pick up keys and go to room, no bags. I called reception who said they would be up asap. 20 minutes later I went to reception and asked to have my bags. They couldn't give them to me but said they would be right up. After another 20 minutes I called down again, to which I was told the bags were in transit. 4. The deal we had purchased included a bottle of ”French Champagne”, only to have a bottle of prosecco delivered. When my wife enquired about this, they said they would swap it out. A few hours later my wife enquired again, only to be told they were out of champagne! (Not likely) I'm not someone who would complain but there were a couple of other minor things and while I'd normally let it go, when they ask you to pay top dollar, you expect to get top service. I should say that the rooms and pool area are excellent but we will be heading to the W for our next stay.
