QT is the dog-friendly hotel on this list. It lists 198 rooms and suites, dog-friendly rooms, and a day spa called spaQ, on Market Street.
By our routing the terminal is about 1.5 road miles (2.5 km), 5 minutes, and White Bay is 2.4. QT prints no distance and names no station — but it does print its parking: self-park through Wilson Parking in Pitt Street at A$49 (about US$35) a night, or valet at A$89 (about US$60) a night.
Gowings, Parlour, QTea and a bar are named. The page gives no breakfast terms and lists no pool, and it prints no dog fee or size limit. Reception is staffed round the clock, with check-in from 3 pm and check-out 11 am.
I'd book it if you're travelling with a dog, and I'd ask about the fee before anything else.
Book it if
- The dog is coming too, and you want it in the room.
- A day spa and a bar on the premises sound like part of the night.
- You'd pick a design hotel over a plain chain room.
Look elsewhere if
- You can't skip the pool.
- You want breakfast terms in writing.
- You need the dog fee before you commit.
Dog, spa, taxi: the night at 49 Market Street
Check-in to gangway, taking QT at its word and our routing for the rest.
The page names Gowings, Parlour, QTea, a bar and the spaQ day spa.
Book a cab, since no ride is listed; our routing says about 5 minutes.
The page gives no breakfast terms — ask before you plan the morning.
QT prints no distance, so we measured: about 1.5 road miles (2.5 km) to the Overseas Passenger Terminal, 5 minutes with no traffic, and 2.4 to White Bay Cruise Terminal. A morning cab can run slow on those 1.5 miles, so book it early.
Driving? The parking section below has the Pitt Street prices.
Night-Before Score: 30 of 100, and the 5 points for the evening
Only QT’s own pages feed the score; the method is on the hub.
Market Street to the quay: a taxi you book yourself
Our routing puts the airport about 7.8 road miles from the hotel and the Overseas Passenger Terminal about 1.5. Both are for empty roads, and anything unlisted below is a ride you arrange.
The hotel calls itself a short drive from Sydney Airport; QT lists no transfer.
No ride to a terminal is listed, so you're booking a cab.
White Bay is 2.4 road miles on the same routing.
From SYD without a hotel shuttle
Sydney Airport is about 7.8 road miles from Market Street, roughly 14 minutes on clear roads. With light bags the Airport Link into the city comes first; a taxi is door to door, with no walk at the end. The airport page compares them.
The page names no station and gives no walking time.
Self-park or valet, both priced in the parking section below.
Nothing is listed for the ship; ask reception to book the cab.

If your flight lands on sail day, skip the night at QT and use the airport page to time the ride.
Which terminal
OPTCarnival Adventure is the awkward case: in the Port Authority's October schedule it calls at both terminals, which sit 1.5 and 2.4 road miles away by our routing, so the Sydney cruise guide doesn't pair lines with terminals either.

No parking at the terminal on cruise daysThe hotel parking covers your night. For the sailing, the Port Authority says the Overseas Passenger Terminal has no parking while cruise ships are in, and it caps White Bay's drop-off lot at 15 minutes; Wilson Parking's nearby car parks may suit a cruise, but its page doesn’t confirm a minimum stay.
