PARKROYAL Darling Harbour, Sydney

Kimkim team favorite · 4.6 (14 reviews) · Comfort
Centrally located modern hotel with spacious rooms, award-winning dining, and a gym

Overview

PARKROYAL Darling Harbour, Sydney, offers a modern stay in the city center, just off a busy A4 highway intersection but close to the harbor and lots of shops, bars, and eateries. The hotel is about a 5-minute walk from nearby sites like Tumbalong Park with its extensive Chinese Garden, the views at Darling Harbour, and the buzzy Cockle Bay Wharf. Plan for a 10-minute walk to reach the SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium and a slightly longer journey (about 20 minutes on public transportation or a 30-minute walk) to the Sydney Opera House. 

The PARKROYAL Darling Harbour offers fully equipped rooms decorated in a modern and chic fashion. The interior decoration features light wood furnishings, marble tiles, and carpeted floors. The Superior and Deluxe rooms include bathrooms with a shower and bathtub. For an upgrade, the Premier Room adds a touch of elegance with an array of in-room entertainment options and a rejuvenating rain shower.

For those seeking more space, the Executive Suite offers a king-sized bed, a double-sized pull-out sofa bed, a spacious living area, and an ergonomic workspace. You could also opt for The Mill Suite, a one-bedroom unit with even more space, city views, two bathrooms, a large living and dining area, and a full-service kitchen.

Start your day at BARKERS, the hotel's eatery known for serving one of the best breakfasts in Sydney, or savor the award-winning cuisine at ABODE Bistro & Bar, one of the top restaurants in Darling Harbour.

Parkroyal was a nice hotel. Good breakfast that was included and better than we expected. The hotel staff was extremely nice and offered help when needed. We felt very safe walking around here and getting to places, even in the evening with restaurants near by. We would recommend staying there again. Read more
