1 The Shangri-La - View to a thrill

The Shangri-La's Royal Suite will have you feeling regal. Watch over your subjects with panoramic city views, spend all day in your marble bathroom or mingle with the masses by night, with free cocktails and access to the exclusive Horizon Floors Lounge.

2 The Hilton City - central with sizzle

Aim to impress with the New York-inspired Master Suite. Stylish and romantic, the bedroom features soft lighting, a giant bed and a wall-mounted plasma TV. Make the most out of the duel bathtub with the amazing Bath Masters team, who will personally mix your unique oil and aromatherapy potions in-house for a next level sensory experience.

3 The Westin - Ornate olde worlde opulence

That's the aim of the game at the Heritage Long Suite. Be taken back by the carefully figured four-poster bed, impossibly high ceilings and antique window fittings in this former postmaster's residence. Reignite your creative spark behind the original 19th century desk or host a small dinner party in your private dining area.

4 Park Hyatt - Park yourself here

Why settle for one balcony when you could have six? Let the sun shine into your top floor Governor's Room and bask in views of the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge and the Quay. Go the whole package and have lunch onboard a 43ft private sports cruiser, departing right from the hotel's doorstep.

5 Intercontinental - Room to move

Where Dubya stays when he's in town. If you're carrying around some excess ego (or luggage), this is for you. The Australia Suite is supposedly the biggest hotel room in the city, featuring a walk-in dressing room and over scale furniture. Also at your disposal is a private terrace balcony, best combined with late night room service snacks.

6 Observatory Hotel - For the ruling classes

The Observatory Suite will have take you right back to colonial times, but forget the convicts and side with the ruling classes. The custom-made mahogany four-poster bed, white marble antique fireplace and carefully selected artwork should set you in the mood.

7 Sir Stamford at Circular Quay - Suite action

Mixing business and pleasure? Put your money on the split-level Presidential Suite, just a stone's throw from the finance district. A separate adjoining room means that your entourage can be on close call, unless of course you feel like entertaining them for a change courtesy of your room's very own grand piano.

Blue - Maritime mansions

The Ultra Loft Suite is a sailor's paradise, with open water views any way you look and a marina at your doorstep. Split over two levels, the bedroom and deluxe bathroom are up on top and you'll find your oversized living quarters laid out below.

9 Four Seasons - Hotel apartment style

More of a city penthouse apartment than a hotel room, the two-bedroom Presidential Suite aims to be your home away from home. Occupying the northeast corner of the hotel, major artworks adorn the walls and your guests will be looked after with their own powder room and outside access to a private dining room.

10 Radisson Blu - Yes, it IS rad

Ask for the Presidential Suite. If you need some downtime, head for the sunken lounge area and relax with state-of-the-art surround sound and all the mod cons you could want. There's also an office if you're really keen to work, but we won't tell if the bright city lights over the Juliet-style balcony offer some distraction.
