The Langham Sydney (formerly the Observatory) is a great hotel. It is my favourite in Sydney and when I am staying on that side of town. Service is excellent, the rooms have wonderful old world charm. Great place.

Lovely spacious, well appointed rooms. Great pool / gym and spa facilities and reception / concierge were very helpful. It is a little way to walk to town but well worth it for the quiet. Our room even had a water view.This hotel exceeded my expectations.

Wow! A great hotel. Homely but five star homely. Just like home but more luxurious. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Rooms beautiful and immaculate. The location is terrific.We loved it, an absolute gem.

Orient Express owns and operates iconic properties throughout the world, with my favorites being the Copacabana Palace in Rio and the Hanging Gardens in Bali. I just imagined what happened to Lilianfels in the Blue Mountains and thought:... More

I enjoy the Langham in Kowloon. Sydney is every bit as enjoyable. The staff are genuinely welcoming and the rooms are not as impersonal as some larger hotel chains. The location is a little distant from the business district but not inconvenient.

Loved our two night stay here, faultless service and luxuriously lush accommodation. If two things were different I would have rated it 5 stars... Firstly the pool and spa were far too cold for my tastes. Actually 'freezing' would be a better way of describing the temperature of the pool and surrounding area, and the spa tepid at best. A... More
