Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel, Sydney Australia

I found myself in Sydney last January for another business trip. It was my second time to stay at the Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel and both of my experiences have been nothing but wonderful.

The hotel boasts a grand sandstone facade in historic European fashion. Before becoming the five-star hotel that it is today, the same building was once a bank that became a newspaper office back in the 1800s.

The lobby was just your usual business hotel lobby. Nothing fancy but it was clean and well organized. The hotel employees were all extremely helpful and that highly compensates for the lack of beautiful interior.

During my first visit back in 2010, we were upgraded to the Studio Spa Suite which was just awesome. The room was R.E.L.A.X.I.N.G! It was hard to go out for my business meetings.  I just wanted stay in the room all day. The bathroom even had what they call the 'deep spa bath' which is essentially a whirlpool in a regular spa. It was a perfect ending to a busy work day.

This year, we did not get the Spa Suite but the regular Atrium rooms did not disappoint either. It was a little smaller but the same beautiful interior was there.

The bathrooms were still big and impressive compared to most five-star hotels.

Given that i was on a business trip, i did not get to try the other hotel amenities such as the pool or gym. Maybe next time i can do that.

I highly recommend the Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel to all business travellers. It may not be such a perfect fit for families since it's in the center of the central business district.  But it's very convenient to get around Sydney anyway so it can still be ideal for families with kids.

Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel is located in 27 O'Connell Street. It's just 5 minutes away from the train station in George Street and short walking distance from all the restaurants in Sydney Harbour. If you're up for a lot of walking, you can even walk to China Town and the Sydney Opera House.
