As a Sydney-sider I thought I'd take a look. I am not seeing a 5* with the same price and amenities as you have listed. However, I see that you are 4 people - are you looking for 2 rooms? I have only done a search for a single room for double occupancy.

I am seeing a 5* City Centre area hotel for your dates with the following amenities:

Fitness Center

Pool(s)

Restaurant(s)

Business Center

Laundry Facilities (self-service)

High-Speed Internet Access

Spa Services

The tripadvisor rating is 4.0 out of 5.

This has a rate of USD250 per night. This is a match by narrowing down on HOTWIRE for both the Swissotel (which has been reported with these amenities ans is on the BB Hotwire Hotel List) and the Hilton Sydney.

I note that the standard HOTWIRE rate for the Swissotel is also USD250 per night which is the same price as the Secret hot Deal which makes me think that it wouldn't be this property. That said, it could also be the Hilton Sydney.

Both of these hotels are right in the centre of the CBD - the Hilton Sydney is opposite the iconic Queen Victoria Building and the Swissotel Sydney is on Market Street (around the corner from the Hilton) and right near Pitt Street Mall.

4.5* Darling Harbour - Chinatown area hotel

Check in date: 2013.02.08

Check out date: 2013.02.09

People : 4

Rate: USD$209

Amenities:

Airport Shuttle, Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business Center

Again, searching for one room for 2 people I found a 4.5* Darling Harbour - Chinatown area hotel with the following amenities:

Airport Shuttle

Fitness Center

Pool(s)

Restaurant(s)

Business Center

Wheelchair accessible

Accessible bathroom

Handicapped parking

If you click on "see all amenities" you may see more than those you have listed above. I am guessing this is in fact the same hotel with a few more amenities and a $1 price difference.

It has a rate of US$208 per night.

I think that this is probably a match for Citigate Central Sydney based on the amenities, the Tripadvisor rating and the location on the map. I note that this is not an exact science and no hotels for this area have yet been reported to the board so it is possible that it is another hotel.

Again, this is the exact same rate on the standard rates part of the HOTWIRE site.

Please ensure that you use the site's links for PRICELINE and HOTWIRE and let us know what you end up doing for this stay (even if you decide to book through alternate channels).

Hi

We choose 4 people for a room and decided to go for 5* city center area. This is Pullman Sydney Hyde Park which I think is the same as Sydney Marriott.

Thanks

As of May, the Sydney Marriott is Sydney Pullman. Hyde Park so this is not a new hotel, just a rebranded and renamed one.
