Perfectly positioned in the dress circle of Sydney Harbour, panoramic views enhance the luxe glamour of this harbourside stay

From its vantage point in the historic Rocks district, Shangri-La Sydney boasts unobstructed 270° views of two of the city’s best-known glittering jewels: the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Inside draws inspiration from the outside in 565 rooms and suites elegantly appointed in the vibrant colours of the harbour area and beyond.

The Horizon Club on level 30 has been dubbed “Australia’s most sophisticated guest lounge in a five-star hotel”. It showcases the magnificent vistas to their full advantage through 13-metre windows that span four storeys. Six floors up, award-winning restaurant Altitude serves some of the city’s most elevated cuisine high above the city, and the renowned Blu Bar pours creative cocktails in a sleek space at the very top of the hotel.

Those seeking a tranquil escape find it at Chi, The Spa, an urban oasis inspired by ancient Asian healing philosophies to offer a plethora of specialised pampering treatments.

Throughout it all, the property stands alone in the city for its unparalleled personal service.

Let the breathtaking beauty of Sydney envelop you in its magic at Shangri-La Sydney.

Stand-out Experience:

Panoramic Fine Dining

Executive sous-chef Michele Menegazzi and his team follow the guiding star of sustainability to create Altitude’s seasonal menu. Behind each edition, you’ll find at least one native Australian ingredient and an artisan passionate about their harvest. There’s the line-caught coral trout fished sustainably in Queensland; free-roaming Gundagai lamb, offering Australia’s only graded cuts; and the property’s own blue cheese, made by a man who milks his own cows by hand.

Over the years, the sommelier team has curated a list of Australian and international wines ranging from small-scale emerging producers to rare, iconic vintages. In 2025, it was recognised with the highest 3 Glass Rating at Australia’s Wine List of the Year Awards. For an intimate and scenic experience, Altitude’s 18-seater private dining room seems to float above the city with soaring floor-to-ceiling windows.
