Venue Testimonials
I have hosted 3 events this year — the events team and the hotel/restaurant staff made sure that all my events were COVID Safe. The team are very friendly and professional, definitely my favourite venue to host an event — big or small.

Stayed here for a friend's wedding and had a wonderful experience. From check-in to the breakfast buffet (great cup of coffee), everything was superb! The staff were so lovely and professional. It’s not our first time here, and won't be our last. Would definitely recommend it!! Don't forget to check out the Cidery Bar, great selection of draft beers!

Great location, close to everything. There were many restaurants and shops around the area. A few minutes walk to Darling Harbour. Good sized room. We loved the king-size bed. The staff were pleasant and helpful.
