Hotels near Sydney airport - Check out rydges sydney airpot

Rydges Sydney Airport would have to be the most convenient hotel for travel ever! It's literally 181 steps from the International Check in Desks. To reach the hotel, guests walk outside the International Terminal, cross the road and voilà! Rydges Sydney Airport is literally on the doorstep.

I'd love to write that I was staying overnight before a long haul flight to New York but that would be me telling porkies; I was actually travelling to Byron Bay so it was the Domestic Airport I was heading to the next day.

My room at Rydges Sydney Airport was clean, fresh and it had the best plane spotting view ever! Check out some of the planes I took photos of from my window.

The room had a great mini bar to choose from, however the hotel also has two bars, a restaurant and of course you are so close to the airport you can nip over there to find food and drink as well. There is free wi-fi and the bathroom facilities are great.

The shower taps are conveniently situated where you don't have to get wet trying to find the right temperature, and the shower is very roomy! The toilet is completely closed off for privacy and the toiletries are lovely.

What better way to relax before or after a marathon flight than to sink into a comfortable bed in a hotel that is literally a minute's walk to the terminal? Rydges Sydney Airport is the ideal place to stay before or after a long haul flight. I couldn't help but smile to myself when I heard the laughter of little children, so excited to be going on a journey, a few times during my stay. It reminded me of my two when they were little and loved going on holidays.

I also checked out and used the hotel's gym and it has a good range of equipment for both cardiac and anaerobic exercise.

Featuring three in-house venues, including Smithy’s Bar on the Ground Level, The Ascot on the Mezzanine Level, and Cloud 9 Bar on level R, each offers distinct experiences with options to satisfy every taste.

The bar has a great relaxed vibe about it. I observed people very chilled and enjoying the ambience of this bar and restaurant.

The prices are reasonable too, especially when you consider the outrageous prices Sydney Airport food and beverage outlets charge.

Finally, it's worth mentioning the conference facilities. Having such a great conference area so close to the airport makes the perfect venue. It saves event planners having to worry about transporting delegates into the city, this alone is a cost saver. Take it from me as someone who spent 10 years in the MICE industry, I think holding a conference or meeting at Rydges Sydney Airport is a brilliant idea when you are flying guests in from interstate or overseas. It's a very funky area too.

In the morning, it was time to take the shuttle bus to the domestic terminal which the hotel provided for free.
