InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach by IHG

This is a lovely hotel with friendly helpful staff and in a great location. The bed was comfortable and the chilled water dispenser near the lifts is a practical idea. Appreciated the tote bag and water bottle and free passes to Whylie’s Baths pending the hotel infinity pool opening March 2026. Concierge will provide walking directions and towel. Delightful swim in the afternoon but closed next day due to high tide.|The view from Shutters Bar while enjoying a mocktail or cocktail is relaxing. I was in a King Bed Classic Coogee view (West facing to the suburbs) Room 501 on 5th floor. Room smaller than I expected and opening shutter doors to the bathroom would be awkward with two people. Small Bench for both a coffee machine and an electric kettle required swapping appliances around to access power point. Room adjacent to the housekeeping area and lifts so some working noise. |The issue that wasn’t “luxury reimagined” was the cold/tepid shower on the Sunday afternoon after my swim. Certainly too cold to wash my hair and frustrating as I needed to dress and wait for someone to check the problem which wasn’t fixed. The following morning the matter which I was told impacted multiple floors was remedied. Minor issue was the need to sit in a chair to watch television as it was perpendicular to the bed.

We stayed here about a week after it opened in December and it was absolutely amazing. We honestly felt so lucky and spoiled with the level of hospitality and customer service — everything exceeded our expectations! The staff were incredibly accommodating and really went above and beyond, especially with our storage requests. Huge shout-out to Alvin and Hannah — they were so friendly and genuinely made our stay extra special with thoughtful upgrades and great help around the facilities. The service and attentiveness were honestly 5-star. Our room was spotless, beautiful, and so comfortable, and the in-room dining was fresh and delicious. Can’t recommend this place enough — we’ll definitely be back!

Exceptional Service at Intercontinental I recently checked into the Intercontinental on December 30th for what was intended to be a three-night stay during the hotel's busiest period. As a newly opened establishment, I anticipated some minor teething problems; however, my expectations were exceeded in the most positive way. On the first morning of my stay, my son experienced a medical emergency, which transformed my short visit into a much longer stay than planned. In this challenging time, I cannot express enough gratitude for the compassionate care and professionalism exhibited by the staff. Every person I interacted with was incredibly kind and courteous, demonstrating a level of service that is truly commendable. The staff at this hotel are a real credit to the property, and their genuine concern for the well-being of guests made my family's stay significantly more comfortable during a stressful time. I’ve had the privilege of staying at over 26 Intercontinentals worldwide, and this one certainly ranks amongst the best. The room service menu was extensive and delicious, with prompt delivery that minimized any inconvenience. The beds were wonderfully comfortable and clean, as one would expect from such an esteemed hotel. The rooms are well equipped and very child-friendly, accommodating our family’s needs perfectly. Any requests we had were dealt with promptly, further demonstrating the attentive service culture that the hotel has cultivated. Breakfast at the Intercontinental was a delightful experience, offering a variety of options that suited every palate. Thank you, Intercontinental, for your outstanding hospitality

A good hotel with the beach just a five-minute walk away and several nice restaurants nearby. The rooms are clean, the service is excellent, and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. I often stay here when I travel to Sydney. I would say it offers a very good and honest price-to-quality ratio.

We had a great stay at this hotel, the service was top tier with Quinton at the concierge being the standard bearer. A clean and friendly hotel, with great views and once the pool is opened will be even better. Definitely worth staying here and get the breakfast too!

We had a fabulous staycation at the IC Coogee after Christmas. The hotel, which was previously the Crowne Plaza, is looking great as a result of an ongoing renovation. The staff are fantastic, especially those on the front desk.|We were upgraded to a suite, which was spacious and had excellent views of the beach.|Breakfast was excellent, and the restaurant it was served in also had beautiful beach views. The staff in the restaurant were friendly and attentive.|As the pool is still being renovated, the hotel gave us free passes to the picturesque Wylie’s Baths, which are only a short walk from the hotel. An added bonus was the beach bag and drinks flasks provided by the IC.|Overall, we had an excellent short break and look forward to returning to enjoy the new pool area and the Club

I had an incredibly comfortable and memorable stay at this hotel, and I truly cannot think of anything that needs improvement. From the moment I arrived, every staff member made me feel genuinely cared for. When I faced an unexpected problem during my stay, the staff did not hesitate to step in and help as if it were their own issue. Their kindness and sincerity were deeply moving, especially as this was my first time visiting Australia, and they made me feel truly welcomed. Although I regret that I cannot remember his name, I would especially like to thank the gentleman standing at the front desk near the main entrance. He wore glasses and carried himself like a manager who knew and cared deeply about the entire hotel. When I asked for help after a car accident, he supported me with such genuine concern that I was honestly brought to tears. If he happens to remember my name, Inseo Woo, I would love to express my heartfelt thanks to him once again. I am truly sorry I do not know his name. The hotel itself is absolutely lovely and beautiful. The room was spacious, spotless, and extremely comfortable, and the breakfast was excellent. The recent renovation made the hotel feel modern, elegant, and uplifting throughout my stay. I also really appreciated the hotel’s eco-friendly efforts, such as the option to reuse towels and bed linens and the reusable water bottles in the room, which allowed me to avoid single-use plastics. Everything about this stay felt perfect. Once the renovation is fully completed, I would love to visit again to see how the hotel has evolved. I am certain it will be an even more wonderful experience. If I ever return to Australia, it will be because I want to stay at this hotel again.

Amazing experience! The most amazing view and room I have ever stayed in. The man in the lobby walked us up and gave us a full tour and was just above and beyond. The burger and club sandwich was also beyond delicious. I loved the all green aspect!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Parking was easy. Room was beautiful, with a spectacular view of the ocean, beach, and hotel pool. With our room we got a couple of bottles of complimentary wine and a few chocolates to enjoy. It was a perfect location, near everything we would need. Everything was clean and the staff was all friendly and helpful.

We chose this hotel and location based on reviews to relax and unwind after our 30+ hours of travel from NY. Just what we needed. Waking to beautiful sunrises from our balcony, strolls on beach and sleeping by pool between dips. Onsite bar and breakfast every morning at their restaurant enhanced the stay. The entire staff was friendly, accommodating, and willing to please. Plenty of shopping and eateries within walking distance. If adventurous, try the coastal walk to/from Bondi Beach. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and hope to return again one day.

Fantastic location. Staff made me feel very welcomed. Especially Clive with his friendly attitude and excellent barista skills. Front desk staff went out of their way to make sure I was happy with my room. (Mary,Laura,Chloe and Isla) Rooms nice and clean. A superb experience

Really enjoyed my stay here! I was at the Crowne Plaza for 4 nights and had no complaints at all. My room was clean and spacious, and it looked up-to-date as well. The best part about this hotel is the location. The beach is right across the street and there are plenty of restaurants and stores nearby too. Definitely a great place to stay for tourists, but unfortunately not cheap (~$250 AUD per night). You're paying for being in a tourist hot spot though. It's also about 20 minutes from Sydney Airport/downtown Sydney. The only hiccup during my stay was at the beginning during check-in. I was hoping to get my hotel room earlier since I had been on the plane for 15 hours, but I ended up having to wait quite a while. Not the hotel's fault though since it was before the check-in time, but just giving you Yelpers a heads up if you were hoping to check in earlier. It's a pretty popular hotel and check out isn't until noon. By the way, the Bluesalt Restaurant for breakfast is awesome. Great assortment of food, made to order eggs, and freshly squeezed juice.

Great spot close to Coogee Beach. Its pretty basic and dull decor, but the area is fabulous. Read more at http://www.stayple.net/hotel-resort-reviews/oceana/australia/sydney/crowne-plaza-coogee/photo-video-gallery.html

This was an excellent hotel that faces the ocean and Coogee beach. The hotel has an excellent location just a few minutes walking distance form Wylie Pools and the other ocean pools. The best rooms are in the the higher floors and provide a great ocean view. The pool was nicely heated and there was also a gym on site. The bathrooms were a bit narrow and could use some remodeling, but overall the rooms were nice. The hotel is also located within walking distance of several restaurants, a small Woolworths supermarket, a chemist, bakery, gelato shop, dominos pizza, mcdonalds, and other convenient shops. The buffet breakfast is great value, and I would recommend that you get a hotel rate that includes it. The selection icnludes eggs benedict and omelettes made to order, pancakes, cereals, a selection of hot foods (even American bacon), fruit, spreads, bread, delicious baked croissants and danishes.

Disappointing! Disappointing, nothing like the pictures, they must have moved the blue furnishings from room to room to take their pictures because as far as we could see looking into other rooms they were all brown and depressing! Planes roaring overhead all evening on each night. They say they offer sleep advantage rooms guaranteed! Really!!! We had an inside corner room which could be nice but the bed is situated in such a way that we could be seen by the two rooms either side! And as for the bath well it was fitted the wrong way around so if one sat in it there was a dip at the back which should be where the water flowed!! See photo Worse was trying to climb into the bath for a shower!! This hotel needs a complete makeover!

Reserved this hotel to rest over the weekend. Great location - enjoyed the beach. Breakfast is great as well. Unfortunately, the condition of their rooms is poor. Mold, broken tiles, broken furniture. I am Platinum Elite with IHG. My upgraded room was terrible.

-thank you HERBERT for hooking it up! -perfect location, right across from Coogee beach -immaculate views of that deep blue sea -everyone was so nice which was scary or....i'm just american? -rooms seem big or did i just pack light? -the elevator rides with my college homies seemed to be the best part of this all =TO HAVE GREAT FREINDS YOU GOTTA BE ONE.

I did not actually stay at the hotel, but I was at this facility for a work event. The staff was friendly and the food they provided the group was absolutely delicious. The location is great - right on the water.

Great hotel. Across the street from Coogee beach. As an IHG platinum member I was upgraded to a balcony room. It was an amazing view of the beach. The beds were comfortable and the linen was soft as well. Rooms were a decent size. All around a great location and quality. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Wonderful hotel in a superb location. Clean and orderly, staff is very helpful. The rooms with views of the seaside are worth the extra price. The buffet breakfast is very nice, first class selections. Wonderful stay. Pricey, but worth it.

One would think wifi is included in a hotel of Civilised counties, but no. $20/day and then you are still limited to 3Gb which normally is ok (if it is complementary), but once in a while you are jet laged and then its not enough - add on a complementary insult after using 3Gb stating how much of an awful guest you are for using the quota you payed for. And credit card fees are not unusual in Sydney, but when you pay $2000 for your stay - couldn't that be included? In all an unpleasant unwelcoming experience but the personal at this place was really great!
