Booking Notes

AUD credit conversion unfavorable at $140 AUD (~$90 USD). Rates vary significantly — confirm rate before booking. Post-checkout account kept open for red-eye departures in one account — ask if applicable. Opera House View room requires waiting at check-in if arriving before 3pm.

Advisor Notes

Post-checkout credit access for red-eye travelers is an exceptional flexibility — worth noting for clients with late flights. AUD conversion is unfavorable — brief clients that $100 USD will not translate to full value. Lobby Lounge is the best credit use given reasonable pricing. Preferred over Four Seasons Sydney by one reviewer for room size and food. Rate volatility means opinion is highly rate-dependent.
