Four Seasons Hotel Sydney
A harbour-view pool beside the Opera House
About this hotel
The pool at Four Seasons Hotel Sydney sits inside a CBD hotel built around its Sydney Harbour address, with rooms in the Deluxe Full Harbour and Four Seasons Full Harbour King categories offering unobstructed views over the water. Select suite tiers, including the Premier Full Harbour Club King and the Full Harbour Club Suite, come with complimentary access to Lounge 32, a separate space set apart from the standard floors. Every room includes an LCD TV, slippers and Christian Lacroix toiletries, with Chinese tea available on request, details that place the hotel at the upper end of this list. Mode Kitchen and Bar serves modern Australian dishes downstairs, and Grain Bar covers cocktails, wine and local beer for evenings that don't call for a full dinner. The historic Rocks district sits within walking distance, alongside the Opera House and Circular Quay.

Our take
Four Seasons Hotel Sydney suits travellers who want the pool bundled into a full five-star stay rather than found in a separate wellness building, particularly couples booking a harbour-view room. It's a strong pick for a special-occasion trip near the Opera House and The Rocks, less so for anyone wanting an apartment-style stay with a kitchen, since this is a conventional hotel format through and through.
- ✓Book a Full Harbour category room if the view matters as much as the pool, since standard rooms don't guarantee it.
- ✓Ask about Lounge 32 access before booking if you want the separate space some suite categories include.
- ✓Eat at Mode Kitchen and Bar at least once, then walk it off toward The Rocks afterward.

Why guests love itA couple celebrating an anniversary at Four Seasons Hotel Sydney finds the pool becomes a quiet start to the day before the CBD gets busy, with the Full Harbour room's view doing most of the work before they've even left for breakfast. Mode Kitchen and Bar covers dinner without needing to leave the building, and the short walk to the Opera House and The Rocks makes it easy to treat the whole stay as a single, unhurried occasion.
