Of course you’ll never struggle for somewhere to dine in Sydney, but if you prefer to eat in the comfort of your hotel there are two restaurants here – and one is award-winning.

On the foreshore of Darling Harbour with direct access by a footbridge, the popular Parkroyal is just a short walk from Darling Harbour’s Harbourside complex, Sydney Aquarium and waterfront restaurants at King Street Wharf, as well as Chinatown and Sydney’s CBD.

The three-level atrium-style lobby sets the tone here: sophisticated yet welcoming. The Four Seasons is all-round luxurious; not only in its décor and signature service, but also in its location – ideally placed between the cobblestone lanes of The Rocks, the wharves of Circular Quay and Sydney’s vibrant CBD. Mode Kitchen & Bar, the hotel's modern Australian restaurant focuses on seasonal local produce, while The Cabana sits poolside for daytime snacks. Grain is one of the hotel’s highlights – a decadent bar with craft beers, organic wines and an impressive 200-strong whisky list. The whisky flight is an affordable way to sample a few varieties of the vast range.
