Great hospitality, amazing cuisine and very welcoming staffs. Highly recommend this place.
Parashar B
Great inner city hotel with a quirky heritage design and lots of character. This older gore has been nicely renovated and the foyer and restaurant have a nice feeling of understated opulence. […] The Wentworth is very well located , close to the Botanic Gardens, NSW Library and only a short walk to the Art Gallery.

Lovely 5 star hotel. Great for the conference and lovely food over the 3 days and at the gala dinner.
