Our stay at Park Royal Hotel on Darling Harbour was nothing short of exceptional. The club room upgrade provided a spacious and well-maintained room with a stunning view of the harbour. The dedication of the room attendant and the professionalism of the front desk staff added to the overall positive experience. The breakfast selection was impressive and the service top-notch. Without a doubt, we look forward to returning to this marvellous hotel during our future visits to Sydney.
