Hotels
Most of the bigĀ international hotel chains are represented in Australia, and perhaps the best possible welcome to Australia is to arrive from the airport to a cool, air-conditioned hotel with huge bed, fresh sheets, complimentary drink and gushing shower to wash away the travel fatique, plus an expansive view over the 24-hour city far below. A high, harbour-view room at the Shangri-La in Sydney is arguably the most coveted first-night destination in Australia. Leave the curtains open all night to witness the golden haze of dawn creep over the Sydney Opera House at the foot of your bed.
