We stayed here for 8 nights in a renovated room over NYE and it was fabulous! The club lounge had a great variety of options for breakfast, afternoon cookies, and lots of choice for evening canapes. We climbed the bridge and went on James Craig for the fireworks and it will be a highlight we will always remember. Sydney is a lot of fun- we visited the Westin Melbourne over Christmas for 6 nights and luckily all the workers were off for the holidays since our room was over the construction and it looks like it would be noisy. The breakfast here was even better with a juicer and all kinds of great food. We visited Tasmania and had tremendously great luck with weather in Cradle Mtn. and Freycinet, but both accommodations (not Starwood) I cannot recommend at all but the scenery was spectacular and seeing wallabies and wombats on the doorstep was amazing.
