How Couple-Friendly is Novotel Sydney Darling Harbour?

Harbour-view rooms, outdoor pool terrace and paid Romance Package with sparkling wine, breakfast and late 2 pm checkout create special stays; waterfront dining at The Ternary adds date-night appeal.

Considerations for visiting Novotel Sydney Darling Harbour (couple trip)

Good match for:

  • Romantic Getaways: Couples can enhance their stay with the Romance Package featuring sparkling wine, strawberries, and late checkout.
  • Waterfront Exploration: Within a 5-min walk of harbour cruises, aquarium visits, and evening strolls along Darling Harbour.
  • Active Couples: Complimentary gym access and outdoor tennis court let partners work out together.

Things to keep in mind:

  • Secluded Resort Seekers: Located in a busy tourist district, this hotel lacks the quiet, private ambiance of a remote resort.
  • Budget-Only Travelers: Additional fees apply for breakfast, parking, and romance add-ons, making all-inclusive budgeting difficult.

Lovely staff upon arrival, fantastic bar and service area. Lovely breakfast with a massive variety of food. Very large spacious room that would have had amazing views if it wasn’t for the huge building block that is being built right in front of it (unfortunate for the Novotel as it blocks the view of the harbour which devalues the views). Would definitely stay here again.

An overall good experience. We went the long way on arrival as there were no instructions of how to locate the hotel with all the works going on. It was a good room (paid for darling harbour view).

Day two was bu...

Staff were friendly and courteous (front desk, restaurant, concierge) I left phone ch...

The hotel is in a perfect location—just a few minutes’ walk to the Convention Centre and right near the vibrant Darling Harbour area. The breakfast was amazing with plenty of fresh options, and the coffee was excellent—a great way to start the day. The foyer and bar area are stylish and welcom...
