Convenient location next to the ICC, 80m walk from Convention Tram station, 10-15 min walk from Central station. The hotel is clean, modern, with good amenities including comfy slippers. Self checkin and the digital key (if u have the Accord Hotel app) is so handy. No need to wait in queues when you check in. Easy walk to Darling Square and China Town, highly recommended!

1st time in Sydney

Had an amazing stay at the Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour. My room was amazing, bed was very comfortable, definitely enjoyed relaxing in the bathtub on a cold rainy day, and the view from my room was spectacular even though some is of construction. Daily breakfast was good as well. Will definitely stay here again if I come back to Sydney.

We chose to stay at the Sofitel due to its proximity to the ICC. The staff at the Sofitel were amazing, from the door staff to the desk and wait staff. Everyone was friendly and extremely helpful. Dinner on Saturday night at the Atelier was delicious. Would definitely stay again. Special thanks to Matilda and Miguel, who were absolutely delightful.

We always love the Sofitel but this time most of the lifts were broken. It was taking so long to get a lift to reception on our departure that us, and tens of others, walked down the emergency stairwell instead.

I booked this hotel because the of water view of the harbour while Im relaxing at the pool and the gym. Unfortunately nobody aware me about a huge building construction next to the hotel so pool was full of noise and gym was a construction view. Paying full price for a good quality the Sofitel should the people know before booking or make discount on the price.
