Towering above Walsh Bay from its prime position alongside the Sydney Harbour Bridge, this sleek hotel is the place for a room with a view. North-facing rooms overlooking the water are the best; views on the other sides—Darling Harbour, the city, or the eastern suburbs—are less impressive. Rooms are large, modestly opulent, and decorated in pleasing autumnal colors. With a private bar and lounge, the Horizon Club floor offers impeccable service, with a purser to look after your needs. Altitude restaurant and the adjacent Blu Horizon bar on the 36th floor provide terrific views of Sydney Harbour, especially in the evening. Look for deals on one-night stays over weekends.
