Practical notes
Questions before you request The Star Sydney
Use these answers to place the two hotels, the spa, the pool and the Pyrmont arrival details before you send a request. The emphasis is practical: what the venue publishes, what it does not publish on the pages we could reach, and what you should ask the desk to confirm by email.

Before you send a request
The Star Sydney is at 80 Pyrmont Street, Pyrmont NSW 2009, Sydney, Australia, with two hotels on site: The Darling and The Star Grand. You can read the wider stay in the full review, or compare the published rooms and suites if you already know your dates.
The Star Sydney’s casino licence remains suspended (since 2022). NICC (25 September 2026): the Minister amended the Casino Control Regulation 2019 to extend the term of the manager, Nick Weeks, until 30 June 2027; ‘Mr Weeks will continue to hold the casino licence for The Star Pty Limited ... allowing the casino to continue operating gaming facilities while its licence remains suspended.’
This site is an independent request desk, not The Star. It is for room and spa-stay enquiries, not online casino play. Australia bans online casino play; The Star Sydney’s casino is a physical venue, and entry is restricted to adults who meet the venue’s entry requirements.
How many hotels are at The Star Sydney?
There are two hotels on site: The Darling and The Star Grand. The Darling publishes room categories including The Darling Rooms, Jewel Suites, Adored Suites, Stellar Suites and Penthouses. The Star Grand publishes Superior King Room, Superior Twin Room, Premium Suite, Royal Suites, Star Suites and two Penthouses. If you are choosing between them, start with The Darling or The Star Grand pages.
Does The Star Sydney publish a total room count?
Not on the official pages we could reach. The Star Grand page publishes “309 luxuriously appointed deluxe rooms, suites and penthouses”. For The Darling, an official room count was not verified on the pages we could reach, and secondary figures conflict, so this site does not print a number. The safer way to compare is by published room category and amenity.
Which room categories can I request?
For The Darling, the published categories are The Darling Rooms, Jewel Suites, Adored Suites, Stellar Suites and Penthouses. For The Star Grand, the published categories are Superior King Room, Superior Twin Room, Premium Suite, Royal Suites, Star Suites and Penthouses. You can ask for a harbour side or higher floor, but the hotel must confirm availability; it should not be treated as promised.
What are The Darling Spa hours?
The spa hours vary between official pages, so check directly with The Darling Spa before you plan a treatment day. The spa page lists Sun–Thu 10:00am–6:00pm and Fri–Sat 10:00am–7:00pm, while the hotel page says 9:30am–7:00pm Mon–Sun. The spa is on Level 2 of The Darling, and you can also read our The Darling Spa notes.
What does The Darling Spa publish about its facilities?
The Darling Spa is published as being on Level 2 of The Darling, with 11 treatment rooms plus two couples suites, a steam room, Darling Spa jacuzzi, boutique gym and a relaxation and tea lounge. The venue also publishes outdoor heated pool and jacuzzi access on Level 5 for spa guests. For official booking, use The Darling Spa booking page.
What pool can hotel guests use?
The Darling publishes a 25m outdoor pool on Level 5, open 8am–8pm daily and heated to 26 degrees. The Star Grand publishes a harbour-view pool on Level 5, heated to 26 degrees, with The Star Grand Gym and Pool open from 6am–9pm daily. Under-16s must be accompanied at The Star Grand pool. See our separate page on the pool before you pack.
Is there a gym?
Yes, both hotel pages publish gym information. The Darling Gym is on Level 2 within the spa, open 24 hours daily, and under-16s are not permitted. The Star Grand publishes The Star Grand Gym and Pool on Level 5, open from 6am–9pm daily. If a gym session is central to your stay, ask the desk to confirm current access with the hotel.
Can under-18s enter the casino?
No. The venue states: “Guests must be aged 18 years or over to enter the casino.” Before entry, you may be required to provide acceptable proof of age showing you are at least 18, and The Star may retain ID it suspects is forged or falsified. This site does not offer or link to online casino play.
What is the dress standard for the casino?
The published standard says patrons are required to be dressed neat and tidy at all times. The unacceptable items listed include singlet or sleeveless tops for males, ripped, torn or soiled clothing, and face paint or disguises that inhibit visual identification. The Star retains the right to refuse entry. These rules are about entry to the physical venue.
What is the parking height limit?
The published parking note says there is no parking for vehicles over 2.0m. Car park entrances are the Main Entrance at 55 Pirrama Road, Pyrmont, and the Members Entrance at 2 Edward Street, Pyrmont. Bicycle parking is on Level P3 via Pirrama Road. For a fuller arrival note, see getting there by light rail and ferry.
Is light rail close to the hotel?
Yes. The public transport information states that the L1 Dulwich Hill line stops at The Star, and the venue says light rail runs from Central Station via Darling Harbour to The Star, 7 days. Ferry is also published: the F4 Pyrmont Bay service stops at Pyrmont Bay Wharf, described as a five-minute walk by Sydney Lyric information. From Sydney Airport (SYD), the Airport Link train reaches Central, where you change to the light rail. Routes from the airport and Central · Open in Google Maps
How does the request form work?
You send the desk your dates, the number of adults, the hotel or room category you prefer, and any spa timing you would like checked. The desk then confirms options by email, usually within one working day, and no card details are taken by this site. If you proceed, the booking is between you and the hotel or booking partner.
Who handles cancellations or changes?
Cancellation, amendment and payment terms sit with the hotel or booking partner that confirms your stay, not this website. Ask for the applicable cancellation terms before you accept an offer, especially if your dates include a theatre night, dinner booking or spa treatment. The request desk can help you put the question clearly before you commit.
