It’s no secret that a flight to Sydney, Australia might be on the extremely long side of the scale. If you’re like me and have trouble getting a good rest on the flight and also have an extended layover (or unforeseen layover) in Sydney, then scoping out the nearby hotels to the Sydney Airport may be a priority. With a quick taxi ride, you can be checked in and relaxing in your private hotel room in a matter of minutes if you choose from the list of hotels below:
Stamford Plaza Sydney Airport
This 5 star hotel is literally walking distance from the domestic terminal of Sydney airport and a short shuttle ride ($6) from the international. Amenities include a roof-top lap pool, gymnasium, sauna, jacuzzi, concierge and the quieting effects of sound resistant glass windows in all the rooms. The Stamford Plaza Sydney Airport offers 315 guest rooms ranging from standard rooms to suites.
Holiday Inn Sydney Airport
The beauty of the Holiday Inn Sydney Airport hotel is the fact that it is located just a 5 minute distance from both the domestic and international terminals. Features include luxury guest rooms, a gym and sauna, meeting rooms and a close proximity to the Mascot train station.
