Editor's note
The Crown Towers Sydney boasts an impressive rooftop infinity pool that offers stunning views of Sydney Harbour. While the views and the pool itself are frequently praised as "amazing" and "gorgeous," some guests have found the pool to be too small for the hotel's capacity, leading to overcrowding. Service at the pool bar has also been inconsistent, with reports of long waits and unfulfilled orders.

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.
