Review: Four Seasons Sydney | Prince of Travel

Beforing leaving Sydney and heading to Melbourne, I wrapped up my visit to the city at the Four Seasons Sydney.

Four Seasons is renowned for being one of the world’s most luxurious hotel brands, and I’ve been spending time exploring some Four Seasons properties in the last little while.

This particular property has an interesting history dating back to 1982, when it was built on the site of an old colonial prison in The Rocks district by the Sydney Harbour. It originally opened as The Regent, and then later became the Four Seasons Sydney in 2002.

Four Seasons Sydney – Booking

The Four Seasons Sydney has a prime location in the heart of Sydney. Despite Four Seasons’s reputation one of the world’s most lavish hotel brands, this property offers more affordable rates than other Four Seasons properties in the world.

On the higher end, expect to pay around $1,000 AUD ($670 USD, $885 CAD) for a regular room. However, during periods of lesser demand, you can find rates as low as $510 AUD ($350 USD, $460 CAD). For this stay, I qualified for a favourable industry rate.

Four Seasons doesn’t offer a traditional loyalty program with points and elite status. However, you can still derive additional value from your stay at Four Seasons by using the Four Seasons Preferred Partner program.

By booking your stay through this program, you can enjoy exclusive supplementary benefits and perks without any extra cost. These advantages include complimentary breakfast for two, a $100 (USD) property credit, and more.

Moreover, Four Seasons Preferred Partner differs from other comparable programs, such as Virtuoso or Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts, as its own bookings take priority in terms of upgrades, early check-in, and other special requests.

What’s more, you’re able to combine all promotional rates with Preferred Partner benefits, including prepaid rates, in addition to flexible or fully refundable rates.
