LuxuryEscapes is currently offering a deal for the 5-Star Star Grand Hotel in Sydney, offering it at a fixed price of €185 per night on almost any non-weekend dates in 2026. The rate includes breakfast, parking, and a daily A$50 (~€29) dining credit that comes with quite a few restrictions. To get this price, you need to book at least 2 nights.
You don’t necessarily need to decide on specific dates right away. LuxuryEscapes allows you to lock in the price and flexibly redeem the voucher until November 23, 2026, travelling by December 23, 2026. To do this, click on “Buy now, choose dates later” under the large “Check Availability” button.
The room is relatively large, measuring 32 m2. You can choose between a king bed and 2 double beds.
You get A$50 (~€29) dining credit per day. Sadly, you cannot accumulate it over various days. It can also not be used for beverage-only orders, nor for the minibar. So basically, you have to eat either at BLACK Bar & Grill, Sokyo, Cucina Porto, or order in-room dining. Overall, I wouldn’t value this restaurant credit too highly.
Breakfast is served as a buffet, between 7:00 and 11:00. You also get free parking (otherwise worth A$40 (~€23) per night) and a not-very-generous late check-out until 12:00.
LuxuryEscapes Cancellation Policy
LuxuryEscapes offers a rather complicated cancellation policy. It basically comes in three steps:
- Until 7 days after booking: You get a full refund in your original payment form. This is the last chance to get your money back.
- over 21 days before your stay: You can get a full refund in form of a LuxuryEscapes credit. You won’t get your money back, but can use it to book a different hotel on LuxuryEscapes.
- Less than 22 days before you stay: You won’t get a refund in any form if you cancel or no-show.
Editor’s Note: 5-star hotels in Sydney often come at a high price. Having a fixed price of €185 for this hotel, redeemable throughout 2026, is a good deal. I just wouldn’t put any value on that dining credit.
The Hotel
The Star Grand Hotel is a 5-star hotel and serviced residence complex in the Pyrmont/Darling Harbour area. It combines contemporary hotel rooms with one-, two- and three-bedroom residences that include private balconies and wet bars, alongside business facilities, a fitness club and a heated indoor/outdoor pool. The property also connects directly with a range of dining venues and entertainment options within The Star complex, and offers easy access to transport links out front that serve the CBD and harbour attractions.
Guest feedback for The Star Grand Hotel and Residences Sydney is generally positive (e.g. 4/5 on Google or 8.6/10 on ZenHotels.com with over 2,100 reviews), with many recent reviews highlighting the strong location near Darling Harbour, clean and comfortable rooms, and helpful staff. Some guests note occasional inconsistencies in service or busy facilities at peak times, but most stays are described as very good to excellent, especially for leisure visits and harbour views.
The hotel is located at 80 Pyrmont Street in the Pyrmont area, right within The Star entertainment and casino complex on the edge of Darling Harbour. It’s a short walk from Darling Harbour attractions like the SEA LIFE Aquarium and the Maritime Museum, and about a 10–15-minute walk from Chinatown and Town Hall in the Sydney CBD. Public transport, including light rail stops nearby, and buses from outside the hotel can take you to Circular Quay or the Opera House within around 20 minutes, making it easy to reach other parts of the city.
Price Check
While LuxuryEscapes offers a fixed price of €185 per night, you’d be paying a higher price elsewhere. Even on its cheapest dates in February, the hotel charges A$405 (~€233) per night for the rate that includes breakfast and A$50 (~€29) dining credit. The exact savings vary by date and season, but overall, you’re saving roughly 20% by booking through LuxuryEscapes.
