Australia’s dynamic city of Sydney is home to historical and cultural places that reflect the change of times. Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park boasts a central location near several famous tourist attractions in Sydney. The hotel stands in Australia’s oldest and most well-known park. Hyde Park offers 16 hectares of wide-open space in the heart of central Sydney. In the past, the park was used gathering firewood and grazing animals as well as a popular venue for cricket matches and children’s games. Now, the property is a famous leisure park and is steps away from popular dining, shopping and entertainment venues in Sydney, such as the State Theatre, the International Convention Centre and the wide green expanse of The Domain.
Meanwhile, Pier One Sydney Harbour, Autograph Collection is the harbour-side oasis from the nearby city. Host social occasions and meetings in the hotel’s versatile event venues, which pair harbour views with superb planning and catering services. For as long as it has existed, Sydney Harbour has been a source of inspiration. As the city surrounding the water has developed and changed, so too has the harbour. The Rocks preserved the pre-colonial side of the city, while the Darling Harbour has seen dramatic change and is filled to the brim with shops, restaurants and public spaces.

Phuket has always been an important source of revenue for the Thai kingdom. From being an important trading post to a tourism trump card.
