In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
Meriton Suites Kent Street sits in a building that was one of the last designs by Harry Seidler, the legendary Australian architect, and reviews say you feel his clean lines from the lobby onward. There are around 430 suites, many with their own kitchen, fitted out with modern designer furniture. The suites feel airy and easy to live in — more like your own apartment than a hotel room.
Food and amenities
Every suite comes with a microwave, an espresso machine, a flat-screen TV and free Wi-Fi. Reviewers like brewing fresh coffee in the room first thing and sipping it by the window before heading out. The free in-room kitchen makes this a natural fit for families who want their own space and a quick home-cooked meal. Downstairs you get a free indoor pool, a spa bath, sauna and gym.
Location and getting there
The building is on Kent Street in the heart of the CBD. It is about a 4-minute walk to Town Hall, where you can pick up a train to anywhere in the city, and roughly 8 minutes to Darling Harbour. Central Station is around 1.2 km away, so Town Hall is the easier transit link. Up on the 15th floor there is a sun deck where guests sit out for the city views in the early evening.
Things to know before booking
This is a large building with hundreds of rooms, so it gets busy at peak times. Private parking is available but costs extra. And while Town Hall is close, Central Station is a fair walk at about 1.2 km — fine if you plan around the nearer station. What gives us confidence is the track record: 250+ reviews on Trip.com at 8.7, a number that points to consistency.
Our take
Meriton Suites Kent Street works best for families and business travellers who want a kitchen suite in the CBD at a starting rate that runs lower than the other Meritons on our list. If you want value plus a free indoor pool, this one lands right.
