I couldn't recommend the Star enough. The service and their attention to detail were incredible. Reminded me of being back on Cruise Ship.

Our stay at the Darling was really fantastic. We went for my partner's 30th Birthday and the staff (particularly Peter) made our stay very special. The hotel was clean, quiet, and had great dining options close by (Sokyo is lovely, all Star dining options are next door). Our room (adored suite) was magnificent and felt very private despite the amazing views of the city. We had a wonderful weekend, and will definitely return to The Darling for our next city stay.
