Hilton Sydney *work in progress*

Re-opened in last 2005 early 2006, after a $200 million dollar face-lift. The Hilton is now an incredible hotel to stay at and be seen.

In 2006 the hotel won the following accolades:

Best Re-Developed Hotel
Best New Hotel
Zeta Bar - Bar of the Year (Australian Hotels Association)
Zeta Bar - Cocktail List of the Year (6th Annual Bar Awards)
Zeta Bar - Best Bar Presentation and Service (National AHA Awards)
Zeta Bar - Best New Bar (ALIA Awards)

All you can say is WOW! And if you don't have semi deep pockets or if you are not traveling in the off season you wallet may be saying the same thing as well.

The Hilton Sydney has 3 bars and 2 restaraunts.

Zeta Bar - Pricey, Pricey, Pricey. However, one of the top bars in Sydney even though it is at a hotel. I guess when I state one of the top bars I do mean if you want to pay a lot of money for good drinks and mix with the beautiful well-to-do people then this is the place for you. Very posh seating and large outdoor balcony add to the already cool enviroment!

Marble Bar - Finally had a chance to make it down to Marble Bar. It is just beautiful. Incredicble high arching cielings, marble dark wood, open and airy, yet tastefully old. The bartended said Friday and Saturday nights there is a 1-2 hour wait to get in. We are going to get there early on Friday to check the scene out. Look for a seperate review specifically for this bar.

All in all this hotel is incredible!
