I love that the other review for this place is 5 stars. Unfortunately, it’s in the wrong place. I is for a dining experience; the Hotel is called Sir Stamford At Circular Quay and the restaurant is called The Dining Room. It doesn’t really matter though, because both are easily 5 stars. I was jet lagged and a little annoyed with my cab driver when we arrived here in the early afternoon. The gentleman behind the desk checked me in quickly and got me a room even though I was a bit early. He was friendly and informative(I wish I could remember his name) and just talking with him for a moment made me feel a lot better. We went up to our room, our home for the next week, and it was darling. I loved the tub, which I used every day to relax in. The Juliette balcony was adorable and I probably spent ¼ of my time in the room out there. Beds are clean and comfy and even with Vivid going on just a block away, noise was never an issue. I recommend getting breakfast with the room because(as the other review shows) it is delicious and well worth it. All the staff I encountered was great! The pool is an outdoor heated pool and you can see a little of the quay if you swim up to the edge, It also has a small fitness area, but we got plenty of exercise exploring the city. The location is perfect. You are literally just a few minutes from the Opera House, the water and Customs House which comes in very handy if you need free wifi! You are also just a few steps from the free bus that will take you around the city. I can’t imagine their was a better location to stay on our trip and I am so glad I chose Sir Stamford! I highly recommend it.

High Tea review only, and for the gluten-free one: absolutely fantastic, would recommend to everybody. I have had high tea in various countries around the world now; it’s always an experience, of course… but here it was a good one in spite of my body forcing me to go gluten-free: Tasty sandwiches, crisp macarons, chocolates of loveliness, and oh my God, THEGFSCONESWITHFRESHLYWHIPPEDCREAMANDHOUSEMADEJAMWERETODIEFOR. (My sis says the normal menu was also tasty. ;)
