The Star Grand or the Treasury Hotel?

Both are sold on The Star's website, both are five-star, and they are a short walk apart. One is new and sits on top of everything in this guide; the other is in a sandstone building from 1901. Here is what the official pages say.

Choose The Star Grand if

You want the pool club — it is for The Star Grand's guests.
You want the Sky Deck, The Terrace and the bridge without crossing a street.
You need a defined accessible room category; the hotel lists two.
You plan our weekend as written: every time in it is measured from 33 William Street.

Look at the Treasury Hotel if

You care more about a historic building than a view from a tower.
High ceilings and a heritage room matter more to you than a pool.
You can live with uncertainty: its future depends on the restoration plans described above, so check what is open for your dates.

What we cannot tell you

Prices for the two change daily and we do not publish them. Room counts for the Treasury Hotel differ between pages, and the official pages do not give room sizes there. Our desk handles requests for The Star Grand, which is the subject of this site; for the Treasury Hotel, contact The Star's reservations team directly.

Send us your weekend dates

Tell us when you arrive and leave, how many of you there are and which room you are after. Our room desk checks availability and the current rate at The Star Grand for those dates, then writes back by email with what we found — usually the same day.

A request is not a booking and we never ask for card details on this site. If you like what we send, the reservation itself is made with the hotel or with the booking partner that holds the room.

How we are paid: if your request turns into a confirmed stay, the hotel or the booking partner that completes the reservation pays us a commission. You pay the same rate either way — see our revenue disclosure.
