It's Hard To Beat The Views At Shangri-La Sydney
Yeah, mate, yesterday's Guess The Hotel shot was taken from level 14 of the Shangri-La Sydney, where we can barely tear ourselves away from the window. Back when this was the ANA Hotel, the bar on level 36, now known as Blu Bar was the place to wow tourists....

Wherefore Art Thou, Free Hotel WiFi in Sydney?
Australia loves its tech. Aussies were drunk texting long before Americans, and now they're just as attached to their Blackberries and iPhones. But when it comes to Hotel WiFi? That's a whole other tragic tale ... We thought what we wanted was simple: A nice hotel in the Sydney...

Pay Only For What You Use With Shangri-La's CustomStay

Shangri-La Sydney Not Worth Double Price for NYE
We wanted to complain about the overpriced rate for New Year's Eve at the otherwise above-average Shangri-La Hotel in Sydney but obviously there are enough people out there with cash, because it's sold out.
