Pullman Quay Grand Sydney Harbour
Self-contained apartments overlooking Circular Quay
About this hotel
Overlooking Sydney's Circular Quay, this harbourside property puts self-contained apartments a short walk from the Opera House and The Rocks. Each apartment has a spacious living area, gourmet kitchen with dishwasher, spa bath and a private balcony looking out over the harbour or the Royal Botanic Gardens. Guests can swim in the indoor pool and hot tub, or head down to Hacienda Sydney, a botanical-retreat bar serving Cuban-inspired cocktails with harbour views, open through breakfast, lunch and dinner. Flaminia, an incoming Italian seafood restaurant from Giovanni Pilu and Marilyn Annecchini, is set to replace the previous dining room above the water. The combination of apartment space and a genuine harbourfront address is rare this close to Circular Quay.
- Harbourfront balconies
- Full apartment kitchens
- Indoor pool and hot tub
- Circular Quay location
Our take
This suits families and groups wanting apartment space with a Circular Quay address, and couples who value a balcony harbour view over a standard hotel room. Travellers on a tight budget or wanting a compact CBD room should look further from the water instead. The apartment format also suits a longer family stay better than a standard room.
- Request a harbour-facing balcony specifically, courtyard-facing apartments cost less for a reason
- Book Hacienda Sydney for a sunset cocktail rather than waiting for a dinner reservation elsewhere
- Use the gourmet kitchen for at least one meal to offset Circular Quay's restaurant prices
Why we love it
- Private balconies over the harbour
- Hacienda Sydney's cocktail bar
- Gourmet kitchens in every apartment
- Circular Quay's Opera House proximity
Why guests love itPullman Quay Grand Sydney Harbour has apartment-style rooms at Circular Quay with gourmet kitchens, private balconies and spa baths, a practical setup for families. The indoor pool and hot tub cover rainy days, and the Hacienda Sydney bar is on site for parents. The Opera House and The Rocks are a short walk away, so the big sights need no transport. I would choose it for space by the harbour, backed by a 9.0 score from more than 1,000 reviews.
