SYDNEY’S tourism boom is a force to be reckoned with, as suggested by data from Tourism Australia, which revealed an 11.4 percent increase in visitors in 2016 from the year before, or a total 8.2 million.
Considering these numbers, it comes as no surprise that the The Tank Stream Hotel – part of the established St Giles chain – is one of the busiest hotels in the city, largely owing to its smack-in-the-heart-of-the-city location amidst Sydney’s central business district (CBD) on the corner of Pitt and Hunter streets.

While many leisure travelers might overlook a business district hotel when booking weekend stays, don’t write out The Tank Stream Hotel just yet. Not least because it’s conveniently located near the city’s key tourist attractions, public transport hubs, and of course, exclusive shopping precincts.
The Sydney Opera House is just over a kilometer away from the hotel, or a seven-minute ride. The Sydney Museum, Australian Technology Park, and Luna Park Sydney are all within proximity. And here’s the cherry on the cake: the train station is mere minutes away by foot.
The property is also nearby Barangaroo, a massive waterfront renewal project on the northwestern edge of the CBD and the southern end of the harbor. Once a fishing and hunting ground by Australian aborigines prior to colonial settlement, the area is now a shiny precinct that hosts aboriginal cultural tours, festivals, and of course, Sydney’s famed New Year’s Eve fireworks.

Inside the hotel, things are just as lively and exciting. Le Petit Flot – the hotel’s in-house French restaurant – is based around a sharing plates concept and boasts large communal tables. Naturally, fresh, sustainable and local ingredients are used in most dishes.
You can also book the private dining room if you’re holding a birthday, graduation, or cocktail party. The space can fit between 30-40 guests for a private banquet or function catered entirely by the restaurant. In the daytime, the room is bathed in natural light, making for ideal casual luncheons.
Meanwhile, rooms are modern and comfortable, and are “all-inclusive”, complete with sophisticated in-room technology, entertainment, complimentary non-alcoholic minibar, and a Nespresso coffee machine.

The Superior Queen rooms come with complimentary high-speed WiFi access, free movies-on-demand, an electronic in-room safe, and large walk-in showers equipped with premium skincare toiletries from Biology containing steam-distilled Australian essential oils.
The most luxurious, however, are definitely the Premium King rooms, each one featuring glitzy city views and a plush king-sized bed. Guests can also expect luxury pillow top bedding, quality bed linen, triple sheeting, and hypo-allergenic pillows in all rooms.
If the great city of Sydney continues its meteoric tourism rise, The Tank Stream Hotel will surely reap the benefits. And you, meanwhile, will want to jump on the bandwagon.
