Positioned nearly 25 minutes on foot from the astronomical Sydney Observatory, the 5-star boutique The Darling At The Star Hotel Sydney welcomes its guests into a spacious lobby adorned with newspapers. This Sydney hotel offers views of Blue Mountains and is situated within a few blocks of the federally operated Australian National Maritime Museum.

Location

Located within walking distance of a harbour, the hotel is also near the entertainment district of Sydney. The Darling Sydney is encircled by a Japanese restaurant and a casino, while WWI is only 200 metres away.

The accommodation is also a short way from Cockle Bay. Powerhouse Museum is around 5 minutes by car from this Sydney hotel, and Town Hall is situated approximately 2 km away.

The Darling is located 5 km from Kingsford Smith airport and just around the corner from Harris St opp Union Square bus stop.

Rooms

The 171 rooms are air-conditioned and equipped with a flat-screen TV with satellite channels and pay-per-view channels as well as tea and coffee-making facilities. They are outfitted with modern decor. The marbled bathrooms include a separate toilet and a shower, along with shower caps and bath sheets. Guests can also enjoy views of the bridge.

Eat & Drink

The on-site bar features billiards and live music. The Deep Seafood Cafe & Oyster Bar is just 250 metres from The Darling Sydney.

Leisure & Business

A spa centre and a steam bath are offered at the property for an extra charge. This hotel has a swimming pool and a gym facility. You can also relax at a wellness centre and a full-service spa available on site.

“This property strikes me as a design haven, where modern décor meets attentive service, though casino access might feel a bit jarring. With acclaimed dining and Sydney's largest day spa, the emphasis is clearly on luxury and wellness. I think its location near Darling Harbour makes it ideal for exploring the city.”

Romantic Getaway Bliss

friendly staffeasy accessreally good cleanlinesslack service
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The access to Darling Harbour was so easy. I found the cleanliness of the hotel really good. I especially enjoyed the electric curtains in the room. The lighting options added a special touch. The panel controls were very convenient.
I noticed a lack of food and drink service at the pool area. It required us to leave the pool to find refreshments for my children. I expected better service given the hotel's reputation.

Our Adored Suite had a timber joinery that incorporated the robes beautifully. The shower and wash basin facilities were fantastic with contemporary fixtures. The spacious layout and design elements made our time in the room feel luxurious and intimate.

the staff were quite friendly. they gave attention to service. i found some extra surprises. complimentary slippers, bath salts, and lip balm were left.
the furniture felt tired. the design looked like from the 90s. the room did not quite reflect its price. i think it is heavily targeted to the gambling community.
