Sydney's "Buzzing City Center"!

Sorry!!  Somehow the story highlights and weblink did not get posted early.  Here it is now.  From the Wall Street Journal in mid December, they have this headline: “A Traveler’s Walking Guide to Sydney’s Buzzing City Center" by Adam H. Graham with this sub-headline: "Sydney’s Central Business District is no longer just a place for work meetings and conferences. It’s hopping with genre-bending restaurants, an absorbing art museum complex and happening hotels that await the wandering tourist, too.”

 

Here are some of their reporting highlights: “The area’s diversions—including a new museum, a bustling Chinatown and a rambling botanical garden—are all tucked into a compact, thoroughly walkable footprint.”

 

A number of options for what to see, where to stay, what to eat, etc., are detailed.  

 

Here were some specifics detailed, including: "Art Gallery of NSW North Building: This new stand-alone annex—nicknamed the Sydney Modern—opened in 2022 as part of a $344 million expansion of the Art Gallery of New South Wales (AGNSW). A swooping glass atrium in the entrance teases what’s inside. The expansion nearly doubles AGNSW’s exhibition space, and brings First Nations art front and center."

Sydney hotels?  From Condé Nast Traveler magazine earlier this fall, they had this headline: “Top 10 Hotels in Australia and New Zealand: Readers’ Choice Awards 2023” with these highlights for Sydney's best: As number one, they had Fullerton Hotel Sydney.  At the three, four and five rankings for this region, they had The Langham, Sydney; Four Seasons Hotel Sydney and Park Hyatt Sydney.   

 

Ranked second best in the overall region and highest in New Zealand's largest city was the Park Hyatt Auckland.  Sixth overall and highest in the western Aussie area was COMO The Treasury in
Perth.

 

We stayed in 2014 at the Four Seasons Sydney and enjoyed its great location and classy aspects.

TLCOhio,

 

Thanks for all of your posts as they were most helpful on our Auckland to Sydney cruise recently.
