About the Hotel

80 Pyrmont Street, Sydney, Australia, 2009

The Darling At The Star, a 5-star design haven with a 9.2/10 Booking.com rating, features a casino, Sydney's largest day spa, and 20 bars and restaurants where James Bond would feel right at home.

Luxurious Room Features

Darling Rooms provide marble bathrooms with dual sinks and rain showers, while suites offer floor-to-ceiling glass windows with Sydney city views. Glass top business desks with internet capability complement the 46-inch high-definition LED TVs at The Star.

Japanese Culinary Excellence

Sokyo serves impeccable Japanese fusion where sashimi is so fresh it could have jumped from the nearby harbour. The traditional choushoku breakfast is the most popular menu item, with pristine presentation of individual juices in ceramic bottles served on ice.

Spa and Wellness

The Darling Spa, the largest in Sydney, guides guests along labyrinthine paths with bronze sculptures, running water, and candlelight. Active visitors can utilize the state-of-the-art gym equipment or swim in the scented 25-metre outdoor heated pool with its own bar.

Central Sydney Location

The Darling At The Star is merely 400 metres from John Street Square and a 20-minute walk from Town Hall. The Opera House and Harbour Bridge are accessible via a short ferry ride or half-hour walk, with SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium just 0.5 km away.

The hotel offers incredible rooms with top-notch amenities and a spa overlooking Sydney, but the view of Darling Harbour was not the best. The service was impeccable with attentive staff at every station, and the location was central to all attractions. The dining experience was delicious, especially the Japanese breakfasts. The hotel provides an opulent and memorable stay with a few drawbacks like being a bit outside the Sydney CBD.

The hotel had lovely views from the large windows, but the room was a lot smaller than expected. While the room was massive, it didn't feel that special for the price compared to other places in the city.

The hotel was very spacious, spotlessly clean, and had everything I could possibly want in the room. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay special, though there was a slight confusion with transferring luggage. The location was ideal for exploring Sydney but may not be appealing for those interested in the casino. The dining experience offered unique flavor combinations and a satisfying buffet. Overall, a lovely stay with a few minor hiccups.

I settled into my long trip perfectly with the fantastic and luxurious rooms. However, I preferred not to be disturbed by housekeeping after just one day. The spacious room and super comfy bed added to the luxury feel.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were very spacious, and the bed was amazingly comfortable, but unfortunately, my room overlooked an office block and was right above the smoking area, making it noisy at times. The service was exceptional, with friendly and professional staff who were always ready to help. The location was perfect for exploring as it was within walking distance to everything, although the room lacked some privacy. The dining was so delicious, but the dimly lit areas made it a bit challenging to navigate at night.
