What an outstanding and classy property! I can see myself visiting the Sheraton Hyde Park for many years to come. Here are my pros, cons, and photos:
Pros:
- Was told in a pre-arrival email that I would be upgraded to a Grand Executive Suite, but that changed to the Terrace Spa Suite at least one day before arrival - the Terrace Spa Suite is a massive suite on the 21st floor (same as Club Lounge)
- Lovely plush carpet and comfortable furniture - I loved the traditional design
- Bed was great - plush pillows, plush / just-right mattress, decently thick covers (I decided to not ask for a 2nd duvet)
- Amazing views around the Sydney Tower, Hyde Park, St Mary's Cathedral, etc.
- Beautiful marble bathroom with a massive tub - I even took a bath, which I never do
- Offered 4 PM late checkout in a named premium suite on a Friday night
- So many water bottles
- Nice chocolates left as a welcome gift
- I found the lounge to be nice - good dessert selection in the evening (I had eaten a large dinner) and not too crowded
- I opted for restaurant breakfast as my welcome gift (note breakfast is served in the Gallery as the Feast restaurant is being renovated), which I thought was great
- Super soft pancakes great with my whipped cream, syrup, and brown sugar concoction
- Tasty omelet from the omelet station
- Great mochas and lattes
- Great personality from one of the older servers
- Some of the bacon was crispy
- Lots of closet space
Neutral:
- Shower pressure was just fine
Cons:
- WiFi was a bit touchy, but it worked well most of the time
Overall, I will be returning to this amazing property.
