We were having a nice away from the kids for our anniversary and were upgraded to an amazing suite. There is so much space!! Also, a bottle of sparkling wine was sent up with a note congratulating us on our anniversary. A very nice touch. The bed is super comfortable as is everything else in the room. We tried the... More

"Just fine" is the best description of The Darling, it has all the elements of a five star hotel but misses the mark on the details. Standard rooms don't have baths, the curtain are electronic and can be controlled the TV, but the only open or close, no halfway. In room dining is very affordable (at five star rates) but... More

Great hotel with very proffesional staff. Perfect location and it doesn't feel like your staying at a casino location. The local neighbourhood of Pyrmont has plenty of places to check out within a few minutes walk. We will be back!

I recently stayed in The Darling and I found it a great experience. On arrival, I was welcomed by a friendly concierge who took over my suitcase. After the fast check-in procedure by a very friendly lady, she took me to my room and I was extremely surprised to find my suitcase already there. Wow! The room is very correct... More

Spent one night with boyfriend at the Jewel Suite with Spa, love the room very much with a beauty round jacuzzi in the middle of the bathroom and the rainforest style shower! Would be better to have an indoor heated pool for the hotel as the outdoor was a bit cold in Winter, but the staffs are very nice and... More

The Milton brown shampoo... More

Lovely large rooms. Great views if you score a harbour facing room...view of Sydney night lights on the other side. Huge comfy beds. Pretty much what you'd expect of a multi star hotel. Small downsides include strange expresso coffee/tea machine and lack of a big comfortable chair. Upsides...close to the casino next door (maybe NOT an upside for some); close... More

What a really great hotel The Darling is. I booked on the hotels website for $249, stayed in room 1290. Georgeous furnishings and fittings. Feather filled cushions, great towels and bathrobes. Molten Brown toileteries - lush. "George Clooney" expresso machine - but - no where logical to plug it.... Beautifully clean room. Devine shower. What can I say I really... More
