Our Operations Manager Louise Brown recently stayed at
the Shangri-La in Sydney and shares her experience with us:
“I recently celebrated a family milestone
birthday at Shangri-La Sydney and wanted to share what a great experience it
was for anyone who is thinking of having a staycation in Sydney. The hotel had only reopened the day before so
the staff were for the first time, operating a 5 star luxury hotel with the new
restrictions and health policies in place,” Louise explains.
"Apart from getting your temperature taken as
you enter the lobby and completing an online health declaration form just prior
to check in, the arrival experience didn’t feel too different than usual.”
“Arriving at check in time meant there was
quite a long queue so perhaps tried to arrive a little but later if you
can. Reception staffs were behind clear
Perspex screens and were taking all precautions to limit contact. There are
small circular signs on the floor indicating the appropriate distance people
should stand apart and there are limits on the number of people allowed at the
one time in the lift. Of course, hand sanitizer is everywhere!” Louise says.
“Shangri-la Sydney has Darling Harbour, Opera
and Harbour view rooms and suites – our room was absolutely spotless and of
course, the view stunning.”
A highlight of our stay was our beautiful
dinner at Altitude restaurant on level 36 – I’d highly recommend booking a
night at the hotel with your consultant and reserving a table for dinner as
well. It felt like a real treat to be able to enjoy a lovely dining experience
again.”
“Spencer Travel is a partner of Shangri-La Groups Luxury
Circle program and our clients receive the following benefits – room upgrade at
the time of booking, daily breakfast for two, USD100 hotel credit and welcome
amenities,” Louise concludes.
Please note, Altitude restaurant is currently
open for breakfast daily, lunch on Friday, and dinner on Friday, Saturday and
Sunday nights. As restrictions ease and occupancy picks up, the hotel will be
reviewing their operations and increasing food and beverage services. Your Spencer
Travel consultant
will be able to let you know the most current information.
