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.
