About InterContinental Sydney
Overview
InterContinental Sydney is one of the city’s most prestigious hotels, combining heritage charm, modern sophistication, and a world-class location overlooking Sydney Harbour. Set within the restored Treasury Building of 1851, this five-star property has long been a favourite of dignitaries, business travellers, and those seeking refined luxury in the heart of the city.
Following a major refurbishment in 2022, the hotel now features 509 spacious rooms and suites with elevated design, calming tones, and the latest in-room technology. Many rooms boast sweeping views of Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge, or the Royal Botanic Garden, making for unforgettable wake-up moments.
Dining is led by the stunning Aster Bar on the rooftop, which offers signature cocktails and small plates with panoramic harbour views — one of the best vantage points in Sydney. The Treasury serves elegant afternoon teas and light meals in a setting that reflects the building’s rich past, while The Conservatory is a relaxed all-day space for breakfast and casual dining.
Guests also enjoy access to a 24-hour fitness centre, indoor heated pool, spa services, and premium business and event facilities. The Club InterContinental lounge, located on the rooftop, is a standout feature offering gourmet refreshments and exceptional views exclusive to suite and club-level guests.
With Circular Quay ferries, trains, and light rail just across the road, and attractions like The Rocks, Museum of Contemporary Art, and Sydney Opera House only a short walk away, InterContinental Sydney is the perfect blend of heritage, hospitality, and harbourside elegance.
