Local Tip
For anything you fancy
Indulge in life’s little luxuries, tick experiences off your bucket list and embrace the thriving dynamic of Sydney – all without venturing too far from Rydges Darling Square Apartment Hotel. On an adventure to remember, you’ll have a base that puts you first in line for everything the city has to offer.
Sydney’s harbourside playground Darling Harbour is somewhere to eat, drink, shop and enjoy events and attractions. This buzzing precinct is just moments from the CBD, where you can splurge on a wardrobe upgrade, visit the aquarium, make a stop in at the museum or catch a bus to Taronga Zoo.
For something a little slower paced, you can cruise into Manly on the iconic Manly ferry to a day spent hopping between beaches, nature reserves, shops and seriously delicious fare. On the other hand, Bondi is just a short bus ride away and is home to the signature Bondi baths, Bondi to Bronte walk and an impressive number of beachfront cafes.
