Blu Bar on 36

The girls and I came here for a catch up and got the pink high tea. There's also a vegan option for the non-meat eaters. The food was really lovely. The sweet ones were better than the savoury ones but still all really good. The tea options were diverse. I tried two types. A smoked red gum black tea with soy milk and the lime and lemon myrtle green tea. Very delicate and yummy. And I loved the beautiful tea set. The view was amazing.

A friend invited us for high tea. The atmosphere was great, and the service was excellent—everyone was approachable and friendly. The only downside was the food; the coffee was nice, but the high tea snacks weren’t very good and were a bit disappointing.

My husband and I were given as a gift for high tea at the Blu Bar on 36. We were received by a lovely staff member by the name of Mandy. She was very professional, kind, well and soft spoken young lady that went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, relaxed and enjoying our time. Would definitely recommend the Blu Bar for its beautiful and flavoursome food. Professional service and magnificent views.

I had the best time at this epic top story bar - overlooking the rocks, harbour bridge and opera house, the view was amazing! The drinks were also so well thought out and tasty, I had the Down Under with a floating koala. All the bar staff were super welcoming and friendly- shout out to Salo for taking care of us and also the rest of the bar staff too. Highly recommend a visit, my family loved it!

Our recent High Tea at Blu Bar, Shangri-La Sydney, fell far short of expectations.Upon arrival, we politely requested a table by the bay window overlooking the Harbour Bridge, as one was clearly unoccupied. Despite our request, we were informed that this table was reserved, despite the absence of any signage indicating such. We were subsequently seated at an adjacent table, significantly diminishing the anticipated enjoyment of the harbor views. During our meal, a regrettable incident occurred when a waitress accidentally dipped her finger in my coffee. While we graciously accepted her offer of a replacement, we were disheartened to find that the replacement lacked the beautiful latte art that adorned the initial beverage. This detail, which we had been anticipating, significantly detracted from the overall aesthetic appeal of the experience. To further exacerbate our disappointment, we observed a couple seated next to us being relocated to the very table we had initially requested. They subsequently enjoyed the prime view and attentive service for the duration of their visit. This sequence of events strongly suggests preferential treatment, potentially based on discriminatory factors. The Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (RDA) is a cornerstone of Australian law, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, color, descent, or national or ethnic origin. We believe that our experience may have been influenced by such factors, and we would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this matter further with your management. The entire experience fell far short of our expectations for a High Tea at a 5-star hotel, particularly considering the significant cost associated with the service. We trust that you will take our concerns seriously and investigate this matter thoroughly.

We are having drinks with a view on the 36th floor. The drinks are expensive for what you get. $17 for a 6 month old beer, but the water views are priceless.

The atmosphere was fantastic, and the view alone makes it worth a visit! However, the High Tea menu could use some improvement—I was disappointed by the lack of savory options.

It was my Birthday Celebration catch up with my lovely friend, arrived a bit early at 11.20 am, but unfortunately reception at the bar sent me back to lobby instead of offering enjoy the view from the bar location due to clean up process after breakfast. Bar area was empty ... Rest of the story- we had nice service, food was delicious, Stella help us with drinks and Red was poring Champaign). Amazing views and even a extra macaroons with Happy Birthday chocolate from Stella) Definitely we will be visiting your lovely bar for more experience. P.S Please fix a hook in the second cabin in Ladies toilet)
