Diamant Hotel

After the relatively disappointing visit to Sydney two months ago, Halloween weekend was the chance for everyone to make it up to us.

Starting with the Diamant Hotel, Sydney

Wine and chocolates on arrival… Rish tells me the Lindt chocolates were yum. They smelled great!

The room this time around was free, with the wine, parking, and then a bottle of diet coke from the minibar thrown in to make up the difference…

I love how comfortable the beds are! One day, I’m going to have to stay there for a reason that means I sleep in it for more than 4 hours! *bliss*

The balcony courtyard rooms are on the 2nd floor, we were the second one from the left of the building, side onto Kings Cross Road.

The view from the balcony. Hello, georgeous Sydney day!

Sushi!Sushi!
Sushi from somwhere along South Dowling St. Don’t remember the name, but it was delicious, on the Eastern side of the street, and very close to William St.

Great to have an excellent stay the second time around :) Will definitely think of staying at the Diamant another time, if I’m dacing away in the Cross :p Or we want the most comfortable beds in the world.

We went up to Sydney on the weekend for a PJs themed party… Way too many things didn’t go to plan…

We stayed at the Diamant who mixed up out booking – so rather than a Suite with champagne on arrival we had a regular room… which would have been nice if that’s what I paid for. The bed WAS deliciously comfy! The hotel was fully booked with other party people, so they couldn’t move us.. All seems to have been resolved now, they were actually very good with the manager calling us today once she was back on deck for the week to sort something out :)

We’ll have the right room on them next time we’re up – for Halloween!

There were also ‘issues’ with the venue of the party… it seems that even if you’ve booked the room for a private function, they may just open it up to anyone. Sausagefest? ugh.

Plus Macca’s wireless HATED us in the morning…

But we had Yum Cha for ‘breakfast’ on Sunday! Yum Yum!

So, what should my Halloween costume be?
