Editor's note
Crown Towers Sydney offers a notable outdoor infinity pool that provides stunning harbor views, enhancing the overall ambiance. While the main pool area can sometimes cater to families, a separate spa jacuzzi provides a more tranquil experience. Poolside service is available for convenience. However, lounging space maintenance appears to be an area for improvement based on guest feedback.
Pool details confirmed against the hotel's own website plus at least one independent source. No editor has visited in person. Booking links may earn us a commission; they never influence the ranking order.
What guests say about the pool
In their own words
The pool is amazing looking onto Sydney Harbour.
The pool is way too small for a hotel of this size leaving it absolutely jammed with people to the point that trying to relax and have a swim was difficult.
This view, perhaps more than any other, showcases the prime location of Crown Towers Sydney at Barangaroo. The two pools, the Barangaroo Wharf, the Australian National Maritime Museum and Darling Harbour are all clearly visible, as is Balmain and the Parramatta River to the west.
