What hotel does breakfast at 6:30 on Saturday? :/

Not many but I'm talking business days, Mon to Fri. The CP Darling Harbour is 7:00 am every day as are several Sydney CBD hotels. I've researched it a lot.

On CP Darling Harbour, think highest hotel floor is 8, with pool and gym on 9, and then the residential tower above (with some weird apartments that you can look straight into from the pool area)

Hotel: Crowne Plaza Sydney Darling Harbour
When: September 2025 (a few days after kerfuffle)
Status: Platinum Ambassador
Rate: Advance Member Sale rate ~$220. No breakfast.
Booked: 1 King Bed Standard
Received: 1 King Bed Premium City View (1 day before, received 803)
Amenity Offered: Drink (1) or points. Took drink. Hotel bar also has 4-6pm happy hour inc $12 margaritas which is super cheap for CBD.

Checked in around 2.30pm and received 803 - a more squarish room overlooking Bathurst St. Hotel shape is a bit angled so every room a bit different and most long and slender. Suspect the best views from 06-08 which should look towards Darling Harbour and the W.

Quite a modern and reasonably sized room for recent construction. Some weird pillow spray tucked into duvet. Two aluminium cans of water with a filtered dispenser opposite lifts

Decent pool that gets afternoon sun and has a fair number of sun loungers.

Parking is $65 overnight, and breakfast on L1 was $40 on the day for a mixed hot alacarte, cold buffet.
Some rates include breakfast but only seem worthwhile for couples if not Diamond.
