“Sydney's shangri-la stay”
With direct Opera House and Harbour Bridge views, Shangri-La Sydney is a top-tier amazing stay: a very spacious well-kept slightly-dated room, beyond-expected service with Chinese-language front-desk help, a birthday cake, convenient room dining, a recommended generous-laksa executive lounge, the great Altitude rooftop restaurant and amazing Bar 36 cocktails with a view. Cautions: unmodern facilities, a steep hill climb and no nearby supermarkets.
