Business & Transportation

Shangri-La Sydney offers business services including meeting rooms and a dedicated events team. Transportation is facilitated by nearby train stations such as Wynyard and Circular Quay, providing convenient access to Sydney's transit network.

“In my opinion, this hotel impresses with its dedication to local experiences, such as rooftop urban beekeeping, and its enviable position near the Opera House, plus award-winning dining that elevates seasonal produce. However, reports of inconsistent service and some rooms not matching expectations suggest potential drawbacks; still, the Horizon Club access, with its panoramic views and added amenities, remains a high point. Overall, it's a property with striking features but seemingly uneven execution.”
