Other than the Hyatt, what hotels in the Rocks or Circular Quay area offer rooms with balconies and Opera House views?

Balconies - no other that I know of. Do Quay West apts have balconies?

Views:
Four Seasons has - if you ask (and pay) for it.

Intercontinental should have.

ANA (what is it's current name) has good views if you ask and are high enough.

Sir Stamford Circular Quay - room 911(if you are not superstitious) has a terrace with a view on the left of the bridge and Luna Park and on the right, the Opera House and Government House, the Botanical Gardens and the harbour.
Wonderful!

Quay West was a tremendous place for us to stay for 4 nights in Sep of '04. The views of Circular Quay were incredible, especially at night. We had a very small but adequate balcony. It is a two room set up, with a separate living and bedroom. I got the idea these used to be apartments or condos. There was a full kitchen and washer/dryer in the room, which came in very handy. Short walk to the Rocks and Circular Quay and the Opera House. If I remember, a full breakfast was included in the price.
You can see the view from our room in my pictures of our Australia trip at

The view is the second picture. Quay West is one of those tall buildings in the first picture.
Hope this helps. Quay West worked perfect for us.

The Grand Quay has views onto the park or the Circular Quay but you really do not have views of the opera house. You do have great views of the bridge if you are on the circular quay side.

Lisa,
No balconies at the Four Seasons as I recall, but the views are ok.
