Direct access to Sydney's best steak (BLACK) and sushi (Sokyo) without leaving the building
The heated indoor-outdoor pool that's actually warm enough for year-round swimming
Residences offer apartment-style living with balconies, perfect for groups or longer stays
Shikim i shpejtë: It’s a shiny, busy casino hotel that delivers on comfort and glitz but lacks the soul of a boutique property.
Rishikuar nga @thebabybossgirl: Took the family for a staycation at The Star Grand and it was exactly what we needed. The girls were obsessed with the indoor pool lights, and I finally got to relax in a cabana. It felt like a proper holiday without leaving Sydney. Highly recommend for tired parents!
Mysafiri Që Qëndroi Këtu Tha
The hype
Travelers rave about the Tempur-Pedic beds and the convenience of the light rail at the doorstep.
Reality check
Long-time guests note that some 'refurbished' rooms still have tired bathrooms, and housekeeping occasionally misses the details like dusting vents.
You love the convenience of having 10+ restaurants and a theatre in your elevator bank
You need a solid pool for laps or lounging regardless of the weather
You are attending an event at the ICC or Lyric Theatre
Pastrëti & Mirëmbajtje
8.5
Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though some guests report missed details like dusting high vents.
Bathroom hygiene: Bathrooms are usually sparkling, but watch for mold in the grout of older, unrenovated suites.
Maintenance: Solid. The property is well-maintained, though some 'Residences' show minor wear and tear on furniture.
Linens & towels: High quality. Crisp, white, and plentiful.
Odors & scents: Lobby smells expensive (signature scent), but hallways can occasionally trap food or smoke odors.

Is the pool heated?
Yes, the indoor/outdoor pool is heated to a comfortable 26°C (79°F) year-round.
