The 14-story Menzies was built in 1963 as Sydney's first premier hotel. It's positioned right in the center of town and sports one of the city's few public clocks on top of its impressive facade. Rooms are spacious and newly refurbished, decorated with colonial furniture and outfitted with a fax machine and all the mod cons (modern conveniences). Deluxe rooms, as you'd expect, are slightly larger and a touch more upscale. Though it took A$14 million (U.S.$9.8 million) to modernize it in 1997, this hotel has retained its grand dame appeal.
