- Who it suits
- Business travellers, and anyone who wants a comfortable full-service stay before or after a flight.
- Why we would choose it
- A trade review describes it as the only five-star hotel at the airport, with 229 rooms over 12 floors, about five minutes' walk from Mascot station.
- The compromise
- It is likely to cost more than the budget hotels. One review reports a paid shuttle to all terminals (about $7 a person) and a 10 to 15 minute walk to the domestic terminals.
- Worth paying more?
- If comfort matters more than the shortest walk, yes. For a dawn flight we would stay closer.
Getting to your terminal
A stay only makes sense for some terminals. Here is what the journey takes from the hotel to check-in at each one.
| Terminal | How you get there | Hotel to check-in | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best forTerminals 2 and 3 | Walk10 to 15 minutes, by one review | 15 min | A$0 |
| Terminal 1 | Paid hotel shuttleHours not confirmed | 25 min | A$14 |
