Hotel Review: Sheraton on the Park, Sydney, Australia

Being a consultant has its perks, chief among them being staying in fancy hotels. Of course, what most people don't realize is that we're only there long enough to shower and sleep before heading back to the client site again.

I had the opportunity, recently, to stay at the Sheraton in Sydney. Consistently rated among the best hotels in Sydney, the Sheraton On the Park is one of the city’s premier hotels, and a favorite of stars like Michael Jackson, John Travolta, and Orlando Bloom. A member of the Starwoods group, the hotel is located in a prime spot directly opposite Hyde Park in Sydney’s Central Business District.

Walk through the double doors opened by liveried bell boys and you will be greeted with a marbled entrance hall, complete with a grand, sweeping staircase. Checking in is fast and painless at one of the desks to your right. Take the discreetly hidden elevators to your room, fling open the curtains, and enjoy the view if you’ve gotten a room overlooking the park. There is nothing better than relaxing by the window with a mug of hot chocolate after a long, hard day’s work or play.
