QT Sydney

Went in for a trim while visiting our local Sydney office and while everyone was polite and it seems like a nice establishment, I seem to have been a customer that was forgotten about. I stopped by at 10am to see if they had any openings and the lady behind the counter said 12:15 was their next opening so I took it.
After a tour of the aquarium in Darling Harbor, I stopped back in at about 12:00 — the lady said it would be 12:15 or closer to 12:30 at the latest. Cool, no worries.
She took me to the lounge and offered me a drink, I had some water and waited almost a solid hour without anyone saying a word to me before I walked out. Seems they were running behind, however good customer service would dictate that notifying your customers of this would be proper rather than just leaving them be. Looked like a sharp place but I couldn’t get them to take my money.

This review is for their spa. I had a fantastic, probably the best facial I ever had in Sydney, both in terms of experience and results. When I came back for the second time however, I got a different beautician. Not that she was not good, but her service quality did not justify the price. She couldn’t choose the right products for my skins. And I also did not like that she massaged my feet and went on to massage my face (although the feet were wiped first with hot cloth). I find it unnecessary to spray my feet with rosewater. Why so much attention on the feet? I’m here for facial, not for feet treatment.

Not much to say considering everyone else has said it so well.
A bit left of centre and just really cool. This place is awesome. My job requires me to travel a lot so the word ‘hotel’ just makes me sigh and think «Here we go again».
This place couldn’t be more different. Had a fantastic time there starting off with an hour and a half massage at SpaQ (incredibly good and certainly not exorbitant on pricing), and then had room service and vegetated for the rest of the afternoon before heading out for dinner.
Room service was awesome — triple decker turkey club and a hot dog with smoked pork and veal.
On top of that, there’s a cocktail shaker waiting in your room with directions on how to make an espresso martini. Splash out on it — the recipe was damn good.
We also went berserk and smashed the salted caramel rocky road in the room which was also very tasty.
Two other big pros. The movies are free, and the rooms are half price on a Sunday night (what we got for our money was excellent).
Definitely staying there again!

Awesome hotel! Has a different feel to it. No clinical hotel feel! Very quirky and comfortable. Would definitely come back

We stayed at QT for a week in a Junior Suite. I’m pretty sure they have ruined all other hotels for us, due to being incredible. Our stay was downright perfect.
The staff is amazing. Special shouts to Daniel, Brooke, and Jackie! They were so accommodating I couldn’t believe it.
The room was clean & impeccable.
I have NOTHING bad to say about this place. If you’re going to Sydney for any reason, this is where you want to stay!

I have been to and booked so many hotels in my life and this is just about the best and quirkiest experience I have ever had. Wow!
Everything was a story in progress or waiting to happen, from the moment I was ushered out of my taxi. The elevator ride to the reception on the first floor was a journey, the sacred tunes of BB King or Elvis, the flashing lights, a Hollywood scene, the sound of burning tyres from a getaway vehicle as the doors closed. Tarantino would be proud!
And then the doors open. What movie set am I on? What stage production and I in? How good looking is everyone? Fluid, faultless processes from checking-​in to the moment I found my room (425).
My room was small but amazingly well appointed. I felt like I had arrived!
The bed was so soft and comfortable, the bathroom huge and perfect. I’m not a great sleeper but boy did I snooze.
And the bar upstairs was dauntingly busy with über cool and funkier-​than-​me people who had all the right ingredients to say they had quote-​unquote arrived too. Style was an understatement. This is not for the thong set!
I had a late flight and so much work to do, so I used the lounge on the 1^st floor. Was a little miffed that only one plug worked to charge my laptop (a hint to management) which Bree solved (thanks Bree!).
Truly, I can’t wait to go back. Worth every cent they charge.

I love this hotel.
QT is kitted out with the kind of OTT luxury you just don’t find in other hotels. One night was not enough for me (though definitely enough for my credit card). I could have stayed in that comfy bed, wearing that comfy robe for the rest of my days.
Anyway.
Visiting from Brisbane for a concert, we caught the train from the airport to St. James station, conveniently located a couple of blocks away from the hotel. Bags taken at the front door by some impeccably-​dressed porters who showed us upstairs to reception. Check-​in was quick and easy, though our room wasn’t ready so we popped downstairs to Parlour café and had a bite while we waited. Poached eggs and coffee were both delicious!
Upon entering the room we were thrilled to find a sexy, chic oasis completely unbecoming of your average hotel room.
The mini bar (which we didn’t touch, who do you think I am, the Queen?) was full of great quality booze and snacks. Most of the carefully chosen decorative items are also for sale, so if you’re impulsive I can imagine you’d run up a hefty bill.
The shower (more like a room, really) had one of those big square heads attached to the roof, great water pressure and was the kind of shower you could (did) stand in for way too long just letting your cares trickle away. Fluffy towels and giant navy robes –which you can also buy, if you happen to be Ms. Moneybags– were a step up from what you’d find at your average hotel.
QT tricks you into thinking you are a fabulous movie star for the duration of your stay. I highly recommend it, despite the post-​holiday depression you’re guaranteed to fall into.

This is a beautiful hotel with the friendliest staff I have ever come across. I am a black priority rewards member (their highest level which is reasonable to achieve) so was given a double upgrade. Close access to shopping, food, tourist attractions and St James train station. Only negatives is no info in the room, they have Free movies and if I hadn’t stayed at a QT before would not have known. Also there is s gym plus access to Virgin fitness centre in Pitt St but no mention. Would recommend to anyone! Definitely come back if i have the opportunity (usually stay at Sofitel or Pullman Hyde Park) because it’s my new favourite.

After 20 hours on a plane I found myself lounging on the most comfortable bed I’ve ever laid upon. The ambiance in this hotel is incredible, the room service is top notch, there isn’t anything I dislike about this hotel. Quality Quality Quality.
I could live here! The QT has got it right! Outstanding!

Just got into Australia to spend the holidays here in Sydney and this hotel I’m staying at is more impressive the longer I’m here.
The hotel has a very chic, unique, trendy, style which I’d say resembles closest to the SLS Hotel back in Los Angeles. Although, it is not in as grand of a scale and size for a boutique hotel it caries very similar mod characteristics.
Very excited that I’ll stay here long enough to kick off the New Year in Sydney.
The Gilt Lounge was very accommodating to our needs and for my little nephew.
So far my favorite thing is that they have a partnership with Virgin Active so that all QT guests can go use their gym just minutes in walking distance from the hotel.
Bonus — there is a secret door to access the secret elevator to get to our room in the upper level floor… fun, fun, fun!
Wahooooo, I heart you QT Sydney Hotel!

I stayed here with my husband while he was here for work, and we had a really great time. The staff are gracious and helpful, the room service food is excellent (order the crab sandwich,) and it’s a comforting, fun place to come back to at the end of the day. I love the quirky details they add to the rooms, like the luxurious sheepskin throw and the glass statuary cabinet separating the main room from the bathroom. The showers and deep baths are amazing, great water pressure even four floors up, and the beds are soft and spacious. During our time here we had some odd requests, such as a print-​out for a project, and each time they were fulfilled cheerfully and swiftly. Figuring in the usual muffled background noises one expects everywhere, we had no noise complaints. I’m certain that if we had, the staff would have addressed it. Also, I appreciated the location, as it was a convenient walk both to my husband’s office in Darling Island and to Circular Quay. Highly recommended!

This hotel is amazing. It is artistic and quirky, with a totally luxurious feel. Kind of like the Standard or the W in the states, but decidedly more boutique. The staff outside are super helpful and the front desk makes you feel right at home. There is also a guest lounge with an honor bar.
The room itself is big, with lots of options for lighting. The color scheme is beautiful. Beds are suuuuper comfy. The garden tub was so luxurious, I have decided I need one in my house. :)
Location wise– this hotel is the best. In the heart if Sydney within walking distance to all the local attractions: Sydney Harbor/​opera House, Darling Harbor, Shopping, Restaurants, the Rocks… it’s not even a far cab to the beaches. The bar and restaurants within the hotel are excellent as well.
Go stay there. You will love it!

Only stayed for 1 night unfortunately! Beautiful boutique hotel. Rooms are beautiful, great mini bar, nespresso machine in the room, lovely bed. Highly recommend this hotel — right next to Pitt St Mall too!

This was a surprise anniversary stay and it was a great experience. The hotel has such a great vibe, so much thought has been put into the venue and you can see touches everywhere. Based in the old Gowings building in George St next to the State Theatre.
I wish we could have stayed for longer. There is a member lounge for people who are staying which has an espresso machine and sparkling and non sparkling bottled water, lovely lounges and a good vibe.
The lifts to get up change music depending on how many people are in the lift. The staff are impeccably dressed with a strong early 20^th Century feel with the odd head of bright orange hair. They are both friendly and helpful.
We had one of the second up entry level rooms and it was again, appointed really well with tonnes of touches that just make it such a memorable experience. They have movies on demand which is nice, though our remote was a bit twitchy.
The idyllic thing about this is that its so different from standard hotels. Most are cookie-​cuttered hotels which are the same everywhere in the world, a bit of a McDonald’s experience. It’s good maybe for the person who likes consistency in their design. I heard that this hotel was designed by a woman, and it makes me think there ought to be many more women designers if this is the case. So close to the centre of the city, its ideal for visiting many of the great restaurants nearby.
Will be recommending it to friends, and hopefully get the opportunity to stay here again!

Boutique and brilliant! Not your average garden variety Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt etc. The QT has character with a touch of class and all the creature comforts you’d expect from a 4 – 5 star establishment. From the old school barber shop on ground, to the lobby and guest lounge on level 1 and everything above the QT screams edginess! The King Room we stayed in was romance personified boasting a plush bed with an abundance of pillows, a sheepskin and a sexy bathroom (not just an ensuite) with a deep, steamy Japanese bath that could thaw the underwear off of a Carmelite nun ! Located perfectly in the heart of the CBD, the QT boasts easy access to the major city shopping precincts and is an easy 10 min stroll to Circular Quay and the Rocks. The staff were friendly and helpful — gladly storing our baggage after out 11am checkout while we further explored Sydney before catching an afternoon flight. We would be happy to stay at the QT again, but room rates are not for the budget conscious and I have not encountered the QT yet on discount accommodation sites such as wotif or last minute.
