Frommer's "The rooms are elegantly decorated, with marble bathrooms and plenty of mahogany." Full review
Concierge "The quintessential five-star stay in Sydney."
Insight Guides "One of Sydney’s original five-star hotels, the Four Seasons has a superlative reputation. Personal service is great; the hotel overlooks the harbour and The Rocks district."
DK Eyewitness "You’ll be able to spot this superbly-located high-rise hotel from many vantages. Inside, the higher the floor number, the better the view."
Time Out "Has been quietly delivering an extremely high level of service within very plush surroundings indeed." Full review
Star Service "This pleated 34-story landmark is in a remarkable setting overlooking the harbor and opera house, within walking distance of shops and businesses." Full review

This is certainly one of the best hotels in the city but is a disappointment for the FS chain, as it has the potential to be the best although it chooses to impress the masses by providing something for everyone.

"The Old Clare weaves Dada-esque interiors through the bones of two heritage buildings, creating a haven of modern luxury." Full review
Lonely Planet "A sensitive brewery-office conversion is now a 62-room hotel in a primo Chippendale location." Full review

Rooms are open-plan with see-into showers (you can request a frosted one) and, in higher grades, great feature bathtubs.
Mr & Mrs Smith "The hotelier’s assurance can be seen in the daring integration of old (the former pub’s seedy band-room posters and the brewery’s urinals) and new: the world-class dining, buzzing bar." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "This is the first Australian hotel by stylish Singaporean hospitality player Unlisted Collection, and its two bold restaurants are a major draw." Full review
Time Out "Standard rooms are generously sized, with king beds, mid-century modern furniture and city views." Full review
Afar Magazine "The cornerstone of the future Kensington Street Precinct, at the heart of the funky Chippendale neighborhood, the Old Clare is the storied pub she used to be and so much more." Full review
Monocle "A thriving 69-room stopover with two attractive bars and two restaurants...the rooms are smart and include Triumph & Disaster amenities, bright prints from Sydney designer Eloise Rapp"
Lonely Planet "A 69-room hotel in a primo Chippendale location. Rooms are well back from noisy Broadway, high-ceilinged and easy on the eye, with artful bespoke details" Full review
