Related question - I'll be staying at the Novotel Sydney International in a couple of weeks and am curious which room provides the best views for plane cough? ( I understand that the Pullman is better but I got an 11 AM flight with AY up to SIN and don't want to schlep my luggage to the international terminal).Property: Pullman Sydney Airport

Originally had this booked 3 months ago as a 1 night stay for Mrs Jase and I as we had an early flight out to HTI. About 8 weeks ago I received a phone call from my parents who told me they were flying out to the UK on QR Saturday night and wanted to catch up so I booked an extra room and changed ours to a 2 night stay. At the time I cheekily asked if an upgrade to room 1118 was available and at checkin we found that our wish was granted and that the other room also received a nice upgrade and view. Staff were a bit overwhelmed at times it seems and the property was very busy.
Room 1118 is a corner room with fantastic views over SYD and spent several hours on both days savouring the views. EL is still not open which is a pain as everyone gets shunted down to a roped off part in the restaurant and seats were hard to find. Thankfully as Diamonds we were assured we would get seats guaranteed.
The old EL still had a fridge with soft drink and water available 24hrs and was a nice quiet place to relax and watch TV. Breakfast at Mobius was the usual assortment but the coffee was pretty average IMO. Dinner at Mobius one night and was pretty decent and hit the spot with the Accor plus discount proactively offered.

I liked the Sofitel in Singapore where they had a water purifier with cold, room temp and hot water in the bathroom.Wrt canned water, I'd prefer that over having to go get water from a fountain as some hotels are doing now.
I think you'll find that plastic is a much better insulator than aluminium for keeping a drink cold.Aluminium definitely gets recycled back into cans, it s much better than plastic bottles which aren't always recycled and when they are it's not back into bottles. Aluminium better for the environment and keeps drinks nice and cool.

I wouldn't use that (ick factor of being in same room as toilet), prefer sparkling bottled/canned water which has always been available in the Sofitels I've stayed at.
The room had a filtered drinking water tap,
