Sydney Four Points Sheraton at Central Park in 2018

Stayed on opening night Friday 10th of August.

Platinum received 2 drink certificates; upgrade to the Studio Suite (they actually have about 40 of these and apparently 2 'mega-suites' which I don't see as bookable). The upgrade did not appear in my account so not sure if they did it when I arrived? I booked the inclusive of breakfast rate promotion so didn't have to deal with using Platinum Amenity for Breakfast.

Typical Four Points (though as brand new everything squeaky clean) ..lots of grey and taupe. The food in the restaurant was very high quality (naturally they were a little slow and scattered) and has a salad bar (quite interesting). What surprising is it is very upmarket fare and thus quite $$$.

The Studio Suite has 2 sinks; Delonghi capsule machine and lots of wardrobe space and mirrors and a long work space.

As with all new properties - the service was somewhat disjointed but everyone is cheery. They have a bunch of Sheraton on the Park employees helping out in dining.

One thing to note is I was on 16th floor and this faces George street so it 'feels' like you are in a big city with sirens at night.

Breakfast was decent though the single coffee machine was heavily stressed out. The nice thing is the chef is right there and makes an omellete or eggs to order right in the proper kitchen in front of you (it is open concept).

Malt - the bar - is a tiny little area with a long table ...they do have a nice outdoor seating area for bar that is created by sliding open the doors.

Pros
Location!
Brand spanking new!
High quality food (though many food choices around you!) and breakfast quite good for 4 points. Good beer choices.
Everyone is cheery and this represents a great option to the very tired Mercure just down the road and will be 25% cheaper than Old Claire next door which is part of Design/Marriott brand

Cons
Possibly noise from George Street
It is a 4 points after all so bare bones and no pool which always drives me crazy in warm cities in Australia (didn't check out gym ..i forgot!)
I fear there will be a lot of group tours going through here which alters the ambience and the clientele.
The toiletries are 'Aktiv' a 4 points exclusive ..reminds of Pine Sol

I really like the four points brand. Good bed, clean & comfy. Hope to check this out in the future. Cheaper than the other brands in SPG.

Stayed at the Auckland one for a night. It was incomplete, driveway, suites not done, rooftop bar?

It felt.....very compact. Corridors, room, bathroom. Not quite the same space as the Aussie ones :(
However great location to catch skybus to airport. It's a show up late, sleep and get out in the morning hotel for me.
We had dinner there but I can't actually remember what the food was like - too tired.
 
This 4 points was cheaper for next months stay but when returning it was only a couple of dollars cheaper than the SOTP.
 
We are staying here now. Arrived late yesterday afternoon. Nowhere to park your car to check in - so Ron dropped me to find out how to get into hotel parking before checking in ! Finally got into the car park level after 3 different boom gates and at each one having to press abutton to talk to someone !! On check in no upgrade and the only recognition of status was " thankyou for your loyalty " !!!!. Room standard on 14th floor. Breakfast this morning was Zoo.
 
Definitely more of a classic room than the Curio West Sydney which seems to be pitched in a similar category

It would have to be very much cheaper than the SOTP for us to stay again.On return to Sydney next month it is only $12 a night cheaper so going back to SOTP.
 
What level of status are you with Starriot / Marwood 'Ronsters'?

I'm LTP but according to only the SPG site at the moment.Marriott has me at Plat elite but needing 3 years to make LTS.
 
Aussie 4 Points are much better than those in the USA.I like the BNE one.
