Opened in 1997, this A$900 million (US$720 million) gambling and entertainment complex includes an AAA-rated five-star hotel, with rooms overlooking Darling Harbour and the architecturally interesting Pyrmont Bridge. Although the four split-level Royal Suites are spectacular -- each with three TVs, a giant Jacuzzi, a full kitchen, two bathrooms, its own sauna, and the services of the former butler to the governor of Queensland -- the standard rooms are somewhat small and sterile. Executive suites are very nice. If you stay here, pay the extra money for a room with spectacular views over Darling Harbour.
Facilities: 4 restaurants; large heated outdoor pool; Jacuzzi; sauna; gaming rooms; concierge; free shuttle bus from central business district; business center; shopping arcade; salon; 24-hr. room service; massage; laundry service; 2 theaters; currency exchange.
