both hiltons are located in the centre of town.

Hilton sydney does have its critics.

Amongst them: rooms are designed specifically for twin occupancy and the bathrooms are tiny with the sink beside the sink beside the entrance and as such, it will be cramped.

Hilton sydney rooms were recently refurbished to include high tech gadgets from fancy blinds and varied tv channels which include lifestyle, w and discovery travel and living.

The exercise facility at sydney hilton is huge with (if im not wrong) 3 different saunas and 2 different steam rooms and those treadmills with fancy televisions attached.

Hilton HHonors benefits at sydney consist of nothing more than a refurbished room which means a proper room with a seperate bath tub and shower.Very very rare to get suites.

The long thread on sydney hilton should give you an idea that despite its positive aspects, you can expect to be let down on several fronts, namely the service area.

I believe the writer posted also in the marriott forum and the brisbane marriott is at the edge of town.

Based on location and overall value, I would simply choose hilton in brisbane and marriott in sydney.
