Location

Getting Here

The hotel is a 25-minute drive from Sydney International and Domestic Airport and a 15 minute drive or train to the city’s central business district. There are numerous options to reach Shangri-La Sydney, from the airport. Guests can choose between hotel limousine pick-up, taxi and train. It takes approximately 30 minutes to drive to the hotel from the international airport. During peak hours, it takes a minimum of 40 minutes to reach the hotel. Taxis are available directly outside the domestic and international terminals. The one-way cost for a taxi on a metered fare is approximately AUD 50 to AUD 60. The Airport Link is located directly beneath the International T1 and Domestic T2 and T3 terminals. The train services city stops, including Wynyard Station and Circular Quay Station which are a 10-minute walk from the hotel. We recommend getting off at Wynyard Station, as the walk to the hotel is much easier for guests with luggage from this stop.
