One of the finest and most comfortable hotels in Sydney, the building is the old Sydney treasury and still boats a monumental front. The first impression is further enhanced by the inspiring InterContinental lobby.
A most harmonic combination, arched railings and soaring pillars are interspersed with read more » contemporary furniture. The Cortile, a graceful marble and sandstone courtyard extending over three stories, is the hotel’s central point.
The wonderful ambience is perfect for enjoying an afternoon tea accompanied by classic live music. At the heart of the complex, a modern elevator takes guest to the upper levels.
Our recommendation: Ride the elevator to the very top, the 41st floor. The InterContinental’s superb restaurant is located high above everything else and thus commands a stunning view out over Sydney.
Settle down, lean back and indulge in the many delicacies seasoned by the view. However, the luxury hotel has more to offer: no less than three restaurants complete the culinary map.
More services and facilities complete the picture: A bar, gym, sauna, shop and boutique shop, beauty saloon, rental car desk, babysitting service, laundry and business centre are also at your disposal.
Last but not least, the roof terrace is graced with a scenic swimming pool. Paddle in the warm water beneath Australia’s intensely blue sky, with a view that stretches from the Harbour Bridge to the Pacific Ocean. Blissful relaxation in a stunning setting!
The InterContinental immediately makes you fell at home. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual but the service highly professional. Lodged in one of the Deluxe Harbour Suites, you enjoy a view of Sydney’s most famous landmarks, the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.

harbour and the spectacular Opera House are located in the immediate vicinity.
Incidentally, the Opera House was opened in 1973 and certainly ranks among Sydney’s “must-see” attractions. The ambience is charming: Affectionately called “Open Oyster” by the locals, visitors from all over the world swarm across the stairs leading to the entrance.
Cherish the stunning harbour view, the harbour is officially called Port Jackson, and admire the graceful Harbour Bridge. In fact, the harbour divides and subdivides into countless little bays, nooks and crannies.
Countless boats and ships hurry across the water at all times. Large ferries cross to the distant side. On weekends, Sydney’s locals bring their yachts and speedboats out and the waters bustle with activity.
It is the perfect time for cruising the harbour in a sailboat, admiring the atmosphere and the sights. In the afternoon, how about a visit to Australia’s most famous beach, Bondi Beach? This is the place where stylish beach life can be observed at its purest form – Bondi is a trendsetter beach!
Surf or snorkel, water-ski or stroll the sands. Bondi is also the starting point for a lovely hike that takes you past the cliffs to Tamarama, Bronte and Clovelly Beach as far as Coogee.
Coogee sports the perfect beach for families and small kids. Having enjoyed sand, sea and sun, sip a coffee at one of the countless cafés or restaurants.
Sydney is more than landmarks and beaches; it also stands for culture. Australia’s leading theatre, the Company B Belvoir is located in Sydney. The celebrated institution, among others, has made Mel Gibson famous.
The shows and plays sell out fast. However, the INTOSOL team will secure you tickets when advised early. Of course, there is also the famous Opera House: Try to see the Sydney Dance Company perform!
Quite possibly the world’s most beautiful harbour city … the Opera House’s brilliantly white shell-like structure shines like a beacon – welcoming you to Sydney!
