InterContinental Sydney Double Bay by IHG

Double Bay, Australia
5.7COSY

Attentive staff who proactively seek out upgraded rooms with balcony views, a rooftop pool tucked into a peaceful Double Bay setting, and a buffet breakfast praised for its generous spread of fresh hot and cold dishes combine to make this InterContinental a quietly impressive retreat for travellers who've grown weary of hotels that merely process guests rather than welcome them, though the occasional lapse in tidiness and a dry concierge suggest it hasn't quite perfected every detail.
