A massive letdown for a Four Seasons property I really wanted to love this stay, especially after such world-class experiences at the Four Seasons in Amman, Mumbai, and Jakarta, but the Sydney property is just nowhere near that same league. The trouble started at check-in. The receptionist honestly didn’t seem to know the rooms well—she told me my room didn't have a bathtub when it actually did. I was also told a higher floor wasn't available, but after I got to the room and called back to follow up, one "magically" opened up. It’s frustrating when you have to fight for a basic Amex FHR benefit that the staff should be offering proactively. The lack of effort continued with the service. While the InterContinental and Shangri-La (where I stayed earlier this week) both provided thoughtful welcome gifts like Prosecco or fruit, there was absolutely nothing here. Housekeeping even missed my turndown on the first night. While they apologized the next morning, the rest of the stay just felt ungenerous and uninspired. The only real bright spot was the food. The breakfast was excellent, and the in-room dining was actually great—delicious, high-quality, and very generous portions. It’s a shame because the kitchen team is clearly working hard, but the front-of-house and housekeeping feel like they’re cutting every corner possible. If you’re looking for that famous Four Seasons hospitality, you’re better off at the InterContinental or Shangri-La.
