A conflicting resort —First the positives— Location in the rocks is perfect View to the opera house is great Beds are soft Food is good —The negatives — Amenities were a bit barren Robes were thread bare The shampoo is locked into the shower so good luck using it for a bath, had to pump some into a glass which felt cheap I got double charged for room service and took awhile to get sorted The bar food is significantly worse then the room service — Summary — Honestly a good hotel for the view and location, id be tempted to try other hotels in similar braxkets next time if only for the annoying little issues that felt out of place for the hotels look. If you have an opera house view room its much nicer to just dine in at your room and enjoy the view Dont pay card for dine in at the door, i did that and on check out it looked unpaid, so best to just pay it out on check out to save the emails back and forth headache

Great views and good service. Although the facilities might be a bit dated, everything was very clean with no strange odors or items. The check-in process was also simple and convenient, and luggage storage was easy.

An absolutely delightful stay with breathtaking views that inspire endless imagination. Rock Street is just around the corner! The hotel's luxury is impeccable, and the service is perfect. The breakfast, in particular, was a rich and varied spread.

After a 12hr flight the last thing you want to do is self check in! I can not beleive a 5 star hotel with a name like Shangrila is now using self check in terminals so impersonal. The concierge guys were excellent and they only real people I got to engage with. Room is dated but Harbour views are fantastic. We did not have breakfast due to early morning flight the next day. Note: Steep 7 minute walk down to the harbour not good for elderly people The indoor pool was poor with a heavy chlorine smell not what I was expecting so I did not swim in it. I am a member but probably would not stay here again. By Contrast the Shangrila in Chendu China was very nice. Aslo have stayed a number of times in Surabaya both are dated but beautiful service & facilities

Great location! It offers the best view of the Grand Theatre, especially for watching performances. You can see the Grand Theatre's scenery at different times, and it's within walking distance. Getting to the city center is also very convenient with the tram.

The view from the window was great, and while the hotel isn't brand new, it's very conveniently located near Circular Quay.

I had originally booked an 83-square-meter Bay View Suite, but I arrived so late that evening that when I went to check in, they told me it was no longer available. However, the hotel upgraded me to an incredibly spacious suite. The entire room had 360-degree windows offering views of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, even from inside the room itself, which was absolutely fantastic! It had the exact same view as the Western restaurant on the 36th floor. Although the Shangri-La is a bit older, it's very clean inside and the service is excellent. The 36th floor also boasts a famous restaurant with great views. The hotel is quite close to the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, about a 10-minute walk. It was really good; I stayed at this hotel for the first three nights. The space was huge and truly comfortable, especially perfect for families like ours with children. Definitely a big thumbs up! ✅
