I think (and I could be mistaken here) that the best Accor hotel in Sydney is the Sofitel Darling Harbour (I'll be staying there next month). I've stayed at a number of Novotel and Mercure hotels both in Sydney and elsewhere. They are perfectly serviceable hotels, particularly if you hold Platinum status where you'll get breakfast and decent upgrades. But they cannot hold a candle up to the quality of the rooms and the service one gets at a Sofitel. And certainly in terms of value for money on a free night award, you can't really do much better than a night at the Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour. Indeed, I'll be using my Accor+ free night at the Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour next month.No 5 stars. Pullman Penrith has no stars on the Accor site but it is available.
Plenty of 4 stars available - Novotels, Mercures etc
In terms of other hotels to consider in Sydney, well I am told the other Sofitel (Wentworth, I think) is also good as well along with Pullmans (I've stayed at two thus far, Sydney Airport and Auckland) both of which were good.
One piece of advice for those booking these award nights is to look out far enough in advance. For instance, for the Sofitel I am staying at next month (Feb 3rd for those who absolutely must know), I booked that Stay Plus night in April of last year. Generally if you are flexible on the check-in dates that can help too.
