I stayed here as a real treat to myself on my first night in Sydney's beautiful Bondi Beach. The meals were lovely. Beautiful fresh seafood galore and as well as doing the buffet you can also try out the wine buffet that way you don't have to get through a whole bottle if you don't like it. Just a glass at a time. The rooms have been updated. It's very expensive all around but given the location (pretty much waterfront) it's to be expected. Even though my review's high I still can't help feeling that it's a bit of an eyesore on such a beautiful beach. It's huge and just looks out of place

Approximate cost: $LOTS

My husband and I were taking our first trip to Bondi and thought we would splash out a bit and book a hotel that was a little more expensive than we would normally spend as most of the hotels in Bondi seemed a little shabby. We were pleasantly surprised by the Swiss Grand as the hotel itself has a lot of character and history that fits perfectly with the Bondi atmosphere. The rooms have been updated and are large and comfortable. If you are going to stay here an ocean view room is a must or there is just no point. The balconies have the best view of Bondi Beach and it's the perfect spot to sit back with a glass of wine and people watch. There are also good restaurants in the resort but it's right in middle of all the Bondi cafes and restaurants so there are so many dining options. This would be the only place I would stay if I returned to Bondi.
