Located as the base of the Sydney Tower, Westfield Sydney is a high end shopping center in the heart of Sydney downtown. Its major retailers are stores like Myer and Zara, with luxury brands like Gucci, Fendi, and Chanel. It is owned by the Centre Group, which was previously part of the Westfield Group, a multi-national based in Australia. The Westfield Group was split in 2014 into a Australia/New Zealand portion (Centre group which owns this mall) and the Westfield Corporation, which owns many shopping centers in Europe and the US, including many that I've been to (Westfield Old Orchard, Westfield Century City, Westfield Topanga, and Westfield Culver City). We spent a bit of time here while waiting for our reservation at the Sydney Tower, whose customer entrance is located in this mall. read more

My goodness this was a massive mall. I mean I'm just thinking of walking through it and I feel a bit tired. We came to it to hang out a bit before going up to the Sydney Tower Eye and I was expecting a like regular Westfield, not this gigantic collection of shops. We walked up from the QVB and noticed right away that this mall inhabits two buildings. The main pedestrian thoroughfare that runs between the two buildings is nice and would be a nice place to hang out, if it weren't so intensely crowded. I guess it didn't help that a big make-up brand was doing a meet and greet with what I believe to be a K-Pop star. Many, many school age kids here for that. The inside of the mall (in the building that holds the eye) is very clean and laid out well. The escalators in here make sense and that made me happy. We were a bit overwhelmed so we only went into a few shops but I very much appreciate that there are both high and low end shopping experiences. The bathrooms were also very clean and tidy, if a bit hard to get to. read more

If you're looking for higher end/designer shopping, Westfield is where it's at. You'll find the major designer brands like Prada, Chanel, Ferragamo, etc. There's a lovely food court on level 5 and 6. Wide variety of options from gelato to soup dumplings to yogurt drinks (TBA). You can connect to other malls like Queen Victoria Center from here as well. read more

After visiting a few malls in the NSW area I would say I prefer this one. This is the one most similar to the ones in the states and I really liked the decor and layout of it. There are higher end brands here and everything looks very chic and beautifully displayed. The products are brightly lit and there is plenty of shops to go around. I didn't see many unique brands or shops and I didn't buy much because products here are more expensive than in the states, but it was still a good experience just to window shop and look at the different styles. If you go at night there are street performers, which is a sight to see. It's definitely a place to visit if you're in the area and want to do some shopping or just walk around. read more

Great mall to go to. So many stores to go to. I enjoyed walking around the mall. Looks pretty fancy. There a guy outside painting last supper and giving free art. Really cool. Had so much fun. read more

Westfield Sydney is a shopping mall in the Sydney CBD. There are a couple other notable shopping malls in the vicinity, but I would consider this to be the primary mall in the area. The mall is located on Pitt St Mall and close to other malls like Queen Victoria Building and The Galeries among others. The mall is broken off into two different complexes that are across from each other on Pitt St Mall. The western portion is primarily occupied by the department store, Myer. The eastern portion houses many boutique shops. The mix of retailers and dining establishments at Westfield leans toward upscale. Mainstream retailers like Gap, Sephora and Zara share space with brands like Chanel, Givenchy and Gucci. Though it seems like the more pricey brands are situated on higher floors here. As for dining, there is also a similar mix of eateries from cheap to high end. The mall has quite a number of cafes on each floor. I like how this mall makes use of the open walkways and turned some of that space into cafes. Each complex also has a food court. There are a number of notable world brands that are housed at Westfield including Din Tai Fung, Ippudo, Laduree, Max Brenner and Tim Ho Wan. Westfield also is home to one of the main attractions in Sydney which is the Sydney Tower and its observatory, Sydney Tower Eye. It resembles the Space Needle a bit and has a great view of Sydney with views of Darling Harbour, Hyde Park and Sydney Harbour Bridge. Though the view of Sydney Opera House is obstructed by large buildings. Lastly, I wanted to note that shopping malls in Sydney are one of the best places to find free Wi-Fi if you are traveling and don't have a data plan. Westfield offers free Wi-Fi for 3 hours each day or 1 GB of data, whichever is less though you need to register to use it. As far as malls in the Sydney CBD go, Westfield Sydney is the best one as far as shopping and dining options. If you are visiting Sydney, I am sure you will find yourself here at least once during your trip. read more

It's a very busy mall in a chaotic part of Sydney. It has nice shops and restaurants. Gucci, Laduree, Din Tai Fung, Ippudo, etc. I was mainly concerned about food to be quite honest. Sushi, pho, curry, dumplings, pizza, pasta, tacos, gelato, etc. It's right across the street from Queen Victoria Building. It's easy to get to. You can easily walk here from the Wynyard metro station. There are also bus stops here. This mall is pretty big and caters to all sorts of people. Students, tourists, yuppies, foodies and window shoppers. The best part is the free wifi! read more

Expensive but then again you get what you pay for. More high end food court compared to the el cheapo hunter street fare. I'm always here for lunch for the variety and consistency. My expectations are always met at the food court or I head over to DJs for a prawn roll. Westfield's has enough clothing stores to spend a day in and you can finish off with a macaron over in Laduree (I'm a sucker for the violet macaron there but still a Pierre Herme fanboy if I'm in Paris) or head over to nespresso to buy your coffee pods and free coffee. Great place to visit to shop, eat, shop, and eat haha. read more

Oh yes. We love the variety here. Signage is scarce here, but I'm a smart girl and I can figure it out. I'd imagine parking here would be a nightmare, but it's easy to get to by foot/public transport. I actually prefer Westfield Chatswood though; parking isn't as much of a nightmare and the variety is still there. 3/5. read more

When I landed in Australia, I wanted to visit a couple of Sydney's malls. Of course, see what items I could bring back and compare what stores were similar to the United States. I didn't realize that the word monopoly didn't apply here because most of the malls were owned by Westfield. Let's take a quick peek at the heart of Sydney's Westfield Mall. If you are planning to pay a visit downtown Sydney, it'll be hard to notice of the tower that bares the name, Westfield. So, no need to look on your phone if you are lost. Just look up and that tall tower will lead you to the heart of downtown Sydney. Westfield Sydney is one of the classiest Westfield malls that I have ever been to. I don't recognize any of the stores, but the stores seem to be of high quality. The stores seem to be endless. I am not sure where it starts and/or where it begins. If you get lost, you can use one of the digital screens to help locate a particular store that Westfield Sydney has. Unfortunately, I did not locate a Fossil Store. Not looking good! However, Myers does have big presence in Australia. I think of Myers as Macy's sister. You can probably see that Myers is very dedicated to quality from cosmetics to jewelry to clothing. At the top level of Westfield Sydney, I was introduced to Australia's version of Best Buy called, JB Hi Fi. Think of Best Buy's logo, but combined with Big Lots. Thus creating a store that markets weirdly. Below the JB Hi Fi level is a medium sized food court. I didn't dine in there since most of the action is happening outside. I know the cousins that I were with were getting their cosmetics and making sure that they are always beautiful. Westfield Sydney seems to be trying to be the new face of Sydney overtaking the Sydney Opera House. I think my 2nd Family made the adventure fun. Usually, I don't visit malls unless I am doing a major wardrobe change, but I had fun with with one of my 2nd cousins daughter while the others were getting dolled up. If you've been to Westfield in the United States, you may want to make a visit to Westfield Sydney and see how their mall blows ours out of the water. You think I write too much? Well, you can call me a Yelp-O-Holic! read more

Westfield Sydney - Its not just a mall, its a venue. - Shopping Centers Near Me - Sydney, NSW

Perfect place to stroll around when in Sydney, Great selection of upscale and bargain items. Just a couple of blocks away from Circular Quay - it is an easy walk so I definitely recommend walking (great way to drop that calories you consumed from lunch at Circular Quay) read more

You might want to shop here if you are a wealthy person looking for designer goods all in one convenient location and you don't have the time to fly to Hawaii where you can buy all the same stuff for 30 to 40 percent less (full retail). The only thing I ever come here for is the food court. I was here the other day and I realised that the other reason I don't like this place is because it reminds me of a mausoleum with all its black marble and spot lighting. Either that or a Vegas casino. It sure as hell does not feel like a shopping mall and it does not entice me to want to go into a shop and spend money. Usually I am searching for the most direct route in and out of the food court... and thankfully, there is a super secret escalator that takes you up there from the street level, but I'll be damned if I can tell you how to find it... maybe another day I will pay closer attention and update this review. read more

Wow, silly me, I wrote the wrong review for this. Anyway, this is a nice Westfield! It's one of the nicer Westfields. They have Laduree which is a well known macaron place so you should definitely come if you like macarons. At the top is the Sydney Tower eye which is absolutely beautiful at night. They offer free wifi which is really nice. Overall: pretty normal mall but it has some nice high end stores. read more

Great mall! You can also visit the Sydney Eye while you're here shopping. Great food court across the street. read more

Westfield? More like LEFTfield! My God I have never seen such vile auras in my life as when I came here. I came to this shopping mall hoping I could find some regalia for my biannual Maidens Gathering. This year the Gathering will be held in Byron so as you can imagine I need to pull out all the stops in order to ensure I am in my full regalia as the Byron Maids are of the highest distinction. I usually bring my assitant to shopping malls with me so that she can carry my handbag for me and my crystals that I carry at all times. However she is still in hospital so I had to come here by myself. (She is still insisting she is unwell despite being perfectly fine to work which is infuriating me and this is not helpful for my aura). I arrived and immediately I could see no store would be fitting for regalia but alas I pressed on. I walked into one store and immediately I was shaken to my core, it was as if a bullet had pierced my aura. The store was covered in faux spiritual symbols and to make matters worse they were playing the most foul rap music which was not cleansing my spirit. I asked the selfie obsessed teen working there if they had any regalia and she looked at me as if I was some kind of day tripper. I explained to her I was attending the Byron Maidens Dinner. She told me they had some 'dresses' I could try on. I was so insulted and told her that her aura was disgusting me with its foul green odour. She then had the audacity to ask me to leave! I could not believe it! Just as I thought my day could not get worse, I was confronted by a hand sanitiser display! Encouraging people to sanitise their hands to "stop the spread"! Don't these people know that crystal cleansing is the only way you can remain having a beautiful purple aura? Hand sanitiser cannot cleanse your aura! Upon telling this to a security guard, I was informed it was not for auras at all, but to "help stop the spread of COVID-19". What nonsense! COVID-19 cannot harm you! Only foul green auras can!! I was so disgusted I left in a shock. I went home feeling faint and immediately realigned my chakras. Diane The Crystal Maiden. P.S. I already cleansed the whole centre with my crystals, so good luck with your 'hand sanitiser' now. read more

I have to admit...I am a huge mall rat and have a shopping addiction, hence why I found myself at this mall almost everyday during my recent visit to Sydney LOL. During my Aussie trip I found out that Westfield was originally an Australian company from 1960 until 2014, when it split into two companies: Scentre Group (Australia + New Zealand), and Westfield Corp (UK, Europe + USA). Needless to say, the Westfield Sydney (which I assume is a flagship), is HUGE. The layout of this mall is really confusing for first-time visitors because it's split into different buildings, and each one has multiple floors. Even after visiting a few times I still had a hard time navigating through it! They have some floors such as Floor 3 and 4 which are dedicated to all higher end stores. Floors 5-6 mostly have food options (both food court style + sit down restaurants). I love that this mall easily connects to the Queen Victoria Building, and is also right by the Strand Arcade. Heaven for shopping addicts like me! Since this mall is so huge, they have a TON of stores for everybody. I went with my aunt and dad, and we were all able to find things that we liked even though we all have very different tastes. Overall, if you are into shopping, this mall is a must! Just get a map because it's confusing to navigate around! read more

Rejoice when this establishment at Sydney's Pitt Street Mall opened in time just before Christmas. It attracted the crowds, although at the time it was highly uncertain as to whether or not all of the traffic ever brought anything here. If you love chic, trendy and style and the latest quality fashion: then the centrepoint side is a great place to shop for you. A great establishment to enjoy quality drinks, and their food court is actually upstairs as opposed to downstairs making this establishment a bit different. If your in the mood for some Asian Fusion, head up to their food court and enjoy your lunch there; otherwise you are just wasting your time. It is a joy to walk through, although the novelty begins to wear off sooner or later. The beauty salon downstairs is also great. You are paying extra to get an eyebrow was on this side of the centre than if you headed across the road; however for new and more room it is worth the extra $4. Their hang out lounges are just so divine as well. The higher levels attract less crowds. And there are great links to both DJ's and Myers. read more

You could say $1.2bn is a lot to spend on building a shopping mall, and it is! But then again, its 7 stories of shopping and eating are definitely worth a visit. It's certainly big anyway - I found a whole new section the other day that I hadn't come across before, and I'm in the city quite a bit, who knows what else there is to discover! As well as the shopping, there is an array of upmarket food options, including Justin North's Becasse on Level 5. The Level 5 foodcourt also covers pretty much every food type you could want from swanky hot dogs at the Snag Stand to dumplings at Din Tai Fung to awesome reuben sandwiches at Reuben & Moore. So yes, it's worth going for the food alone, but back to the shopping. Zara was the big draw card when it opened its doors back in June, but there are plenty of others on hand, from cheap and cheerful to ridiculously expensive and delighted (if you can afford it). So it pretty buch covers all the bases, so why go anywhere else? Well, it's indoors for one, so if it's a nice day you might want to venture outdoors to do your shopping, but then again, you might like the shade and air con. Think I might be nitpicking a little bit there. As malls go, it's pretty fantastic, although if you're coming from Dubai or Minnesota (2 slightly different places granted), don't expect aquariums or roller coasters, not sure there's enough room in the CBD for those sort of things, but do expect great shopping! read more

Although on the smaller side, this is the most impressive, beautiful, and luxurious shopping mall I've ever had the pleasure of shopping in. If you're from the states, it's nicer than South Coast Plaza in OC and the ambiance is very reminiscent of Bacchanal Vegas or SLS Beverly Hills, very sleek, modern, and upscale. Designer brands include Chanel, Miu Miu, Prada, and Gucci, as well as contemporary brands like Michael Kors and Kate Spade. I was even more impressed by their food options. Laduree, Tim Ho Wan, Cha Time, Ippudo, and Din Tai Fung all under one roof. I was speechless. So many good eats from all over the world congregated in Sydney. Out of the five days we stayed in Sydney, we came to this food court to eat for four meals. If you like nice things, this Westfield is worth stopping by and checking out. It's also located immediately next to Pitt Mall and near the Queen Victoria Building, so it's pretty convenient. read more

I seem to spend way more time here than I ever mean or plan to. Sometimes I feel like Jonah swallowed up by the whale and the whale has loads of shops and a food court inside it. And I can't get out. Tried to take a trolley out of here the other day as I was parked down the street and there's some new lock system where one wheel freezes when you pass a certain point, rendering the entire thing immediately unusable. Impressive. Annoying, but impressive. read more

Compared to the Westfield shopping centre that it replaced, this new refurbishment is one of the most elaborate in Australia. After spending several years testing the patience of Sydney City locals with constant construction, and $1.2B worth of refurbishment, the Westfield CBD has changed nearly everything other than it's name. This is the holy grail, the mecca, the ruby encrusted jewell of the city, with no expense spared on marble, aluminium, glass, and I'm sure jewels somewhere. The space is mirrored like an amusement park, although strategically this helps make the inside corridors & passage seem a lot larger. The food court has even been rethought, no more McDonalds & KFC, this is the upper class food court, where the only thing inexpensive is the free view. Quality food establishments sell tasty, somewhat overpriced, meals for lunch and dinner. Imagine sexy chic & trendy people spending lot's of money and time here over the weekend, it's literally a new tourist attraction, and locals & businesses alike love it. For me, it's a bit too over the top, and could be toned down to a more realistic 'we're not all millionaires' feel. read more

Shopping paradise in the CBD and like all Westfield malls, this has all the major fashion brands. (Zara / Nike/ Gap/ Armani/ Review etc) It is usually packed but the basement level can be a breather from the crowd. There are also plenty of food options (cafes and a big foodcourt on the 5th floor) Note: - There are several entrances/exits so it can be confusing for first-timers. - Bathrooms on certain floors only read more

We had a quick stop here during our recent trip to Sydney as we had to return something for a colleague of my girlfriend to Myers. I can safely say that this is the shiniest and nicest Westfield Mall I have ever been to. The place is obviously catering to the high end market and it's no secret there are a lot of people in Sydney visiting from this particular region of the world. The stores are all named brands, but like someone mentioned this isn't just a mall, it's a venue. It's attached to the Sydney Eye as well as an outdoor mall with both the Apple and Microsoft Store in location. Initially it can seem a little too hectic and I don't want to know what it's like during the holidays, but from what I saw it's Westfield to the tenth degree. read more

The best shopping centre in Sydney! Finally, we have a shopping centre that is similar to the upscale shopping centres of South East Asia. There are designer branded stores, department stores David Jones and Myer, boutique stalls featuring emerging designers and mid-range stores on the lower ground level, a fancy food court, restaurants, and the entrance to Centrepoint Tower is also in the centre. There are limited entertainment options - no cinema complex or bowling / arcade games. Also no grocery stores or general / variety stores. There is a space at the Zara entrance where pop up exhibitions feature each week. Shopping here is such a treat! read more

What's that you said? You've got money to burn? A credit card that doesn't look worn out enough? Then get thee down to Westfield Sydney, a couple of swipes of that card and flash a couple hundo's around; and you'll be as good as new! And chances are, you'll have some fancy new threads to show off. There's always so much happening at Westfield Sydney. Buskers in the mall, a sale at Zara, a new line of watches at Tag Heuer, or a new pair of Connies has come out at Hype. Either way, you'll never be short of something to buy, or something to look at. It doesn't matter which end or side of town you work in, you're never far away from Westfield Sydney; even if it's just to join the stampeding herds in the food court under Myer. Being a shopaholic, I could burn up a fortnights pay here in one go; and just keep rambling around until my bank card ran away screaming, or the bank just gave me the big thumbs down. Some may find the way the interior's decorated a tad too shiny, but I think that adds to the opulent atmosphere that you should expect from a shopping centre towards the upper-end of the spectrum. Be warned that you may spend sometime finding what you're after; but once you have, all will be right with the world... that's while your left trying to work out which arm to carry that extra bag on. read more

Great mall! Well worth a visit. This mall is a great way to spend your time. They have wide selections of product as well.

By far, it's the classiest Westfield I've ever visited in the whole country. The ambience sets the mood for all potential buyers to stretch into their purse/wallet to draw out their credit card. The numerous top brand shops give u a grand feeling. Food. Who doesn't love to eat? The upper levels are mostly devoted to all the foodies out there like you & I. The quality of the food are beyond words. Even the cafeteria has a high standard. Next time try it for yourself & you'll understand the need to come back for more... Cleanliness of a mall is extremely important to get all 5 stars ratings. The bathroom smell pleasant, looks clean & well maintained on a regular basis. The hand dryers are the speed drying ones & I reckon all bathroom should hv this kind of hand dyers. Westfield Sydney, I would come back in a heart beat. Kudos CC read more
