DK Eyewitness "A lovely oldfashioned hotel sits above a historic pub, the Fortune of War."
Time Out "With a great location in the middle of the Rocks... the Russell still somehow manages to feel more like a cosy country B&B than a city-centre hotel." Full review
Rough Guide "A small hotel with popular shared-bathroom rooms, plus en-suite options; the priciest have views of Circular Quay."

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.
Gayot "The Four Seasons Hotel Sydney is the ultimate place to stay to experience the thriving diversity that is Sydney."
Condé Nast Traveler "Located on bustling George Street, this five-star hotel is popular among business travelers and tourists alike." Full review
