Overview

Sydney is one of the world's most recognizable cities — the Opera House and Harbour Bridge frame against sparkling blue water and golden sandstone cliffs. Diverse neighborhoods each share a collective passion for great food, beautiful beaches, and outdoor living.

The Park Hyatt Sydney is one of the most coveted aspirational redemptions in Australasia with Opera House views. Marriott Bonvoy, Hilton Honors, and IHG all have premium properties in the CBD.

The Bondi to Coogee coastal walk, Pyrmont fish markets, and day trips to the Blue Mountains add depth to a world-class urban destination. November through April offers the warmest conditions.

Cash vs Points

Hotels in Sydney range from $63 to $817 per night. Points redemptions offer 2.3+ cents per point value.
