OK .. here is my suggestion.

THE best located hotel in Sydney is without doubt the Park Hyatt, which sits right on the Harbour as you can see here:

They have a bar and casual dining restaurant there called the HARBOUR BAR. (Note the correct spelling in the English language, and do not confuse if with the rather formal and stuffy Club Bar there!) Some info:

Food has a reasonable selection - steak, chicken breast, and lighter fare down to burgers even.

It is not terribly expensive - $A25 or so for Sirloin steak etc.

We can eat and drink there right on the Harbour looking at The Opera House at night etc. So do bring your Cameras if you think of it and want some tourist shots of Freddie Junior basking in the glow of the Opera House.

The Park Hyatt is at 7 Hickson Road, The Rocks.

Everyone knows where it is if you ask, but if you get to Circular Quay where all ferries (and trains) leave from, (and close to Marty's hotel) just walk along the foreshore boardwalk toward it .. it sits ON the Harbour a few 100 yards away.

Or for Bob and Dan simply walk down George where your hotel is, to the Rocks, and where George and Hickson meet, keep right on Hickson! (Do watch for the signs tho, as it is George that veers left really, and Hickson goes right ahead.) It is 5-10 mins walk from Westin. On main road, and 105% safe to walk.

If 8 p.m. suits everyone I made a reservation for then.

Tall Aussie redheaded guy called Mike was very helpful and says he will try and get us a window view table. Monday is not busy, so we picked a good evening.

We can have a drink at bar from 7.45pm onwards say.

I have a couple of 25% off entire bill coupons, so we will save $50 at least there.

iluv2fly and Corbetti have met me before here so a few of us will hook up fine. For the others a few pix of me are on here so at least you'll recognise one of those to look out for!

p.s. - I'll be the one with a beer in hand.
