Ace Hotel, Sydney

47 Wentworth Avenue, Central Business District, 2000 Sydney, Australia. (show on map)

Expert reviews

CN Traveler review:

“The Ace, 18 stories high with 257 rooms, is located in a magnificent early-20th-century building that vibrates with top-to-toe creative energy. Revived by Australia’s most in-demand interior architects, Flack Studio, the former brick factory has kept its old bones – high ceilings and exposed brick and concrete walls – offset with one-of-a-kind furniture, art, and bric-a-brac by the country’s best designers, artists, and makers.”

Featured in CN Traveler’s Hotlist 2023.

Telegraph review:

“This design-centric hotel in the inner-city neighbourhood of Surry Hills, Sydney’s coolest enclave, proves that there is more to Sydney than just its beaches and harbour. It’s ground floor bars and rooftop restaurant has made this a top-to-toe hang-out for Sydney’s in-the-know crowd.”

What guests liked

All you need to know

Located near the central business district, in the trendy and upscale Surry Hills area, the Ace Hotel Sydney is the brand’s first venture in the Southern Hemisphere. However, its execution is just as confident as any of their other hotels.

Housed in a 19th-century industrial building, it exudes a charming patina that embodies the essence of both the Ace brand and Australian culture. The designers have done an exceptional job in creating a space that constantly reminds guests of their unique location and the community they are a part of.

The rooms at Ace Hotel Sydney share the same aesthetic as their counterparts in North America. They feature vintage-inspired wool blankets, subtle retro touches, and a cozy atmosphere.

Some rooms even come equipped with turntables or acoustic guitars, while elements like exposed brick walls add an extra layer of visual interest.

Beautiful hotel and great location !

Design, bat and restaurant all very high end. Love all the interiors and the high end products. Love the aesthetic. The food in the downstairs area was very well priced and yummy. Yummy cocktails in both bars.

No movies or Netflix, old tv. (The Qt has movies and TV etc) For breakfast the staff were really bad. Slow service too forever and the coffee was really bad. Sorry I’m a coffee snob. Mecca coffee is very bitter or maybe it was burnt as barista wasn’t great. I had two breakfasts. I work in events and hospitality so I might be a tough critic. Bar fridge is very small.

Uber cool place to stay in Sydney

Love the design of this hotel and how friendly the team are and how how cool the lobby bar is. Always meet interesting people when I stay here.

There isn't a pool which is a bummer on a hot day.

A short cozy stay and friendly staff.

Clean, cozy and friendly staff.

We didn’t receive a welcome note which is ok (was not expecting it) however we did find a welcome note addressed to a previous guest where the hotel info, blank paper, pencil is stored from a previous stay. For a 5 star hotel small details are important and this was missed. We didn’t feel as special :(

Exceptional stay in modern, cool, comfortable hotel in central Sydney / Surry Hills

Exceptional stay in central Sydney / Surry Hills at the Ace Hotel. Super modern, cool decor, and really comfortable with great amenities (e.g. really comfy bed and massive shower!). We loved our stay and would definitely be back. Shout out to the baristas in the ground floor cafe who make a banging coffee, and to the reception staff who were incredibly friendly and even let us check in a few hours early after a long overnight flight. Recommend for couples looking for a trendy base to explore Sydney!

Cool, vibrant hotel in great location

The hotel is lovely and the bar downstairs is a great spot for a drink before dinner, or on the way up to your room.

The check in service was not very smooth. We were delayed in getting to our company function while the front desk worked things out.

Comfortable, convenient and great vibe

Great decor, good vibe, very comfortable

The low light for applying make up, the lack of hooks for hanging towels, and the ridiculous delay in room availability. We didn’t get in until about 6 and I had to actively follow-up with the reception people - thankfully we could enjoy the wait drinking happy hour cocktails and people watching in the bar. The bar staff were excellent. We will be back though

It was comfortable & easy to get to central Sydney but not 5 star & overpriced considering other hotels near the

The bed was very comfortable, well stocked mini bar which we didn’t use. I would describe the hotel as bougie, designed for a younger crowd

Very dark lighting. We didn’t like the bathroom- this was the entrance to the room. & toilet & shower extremely darkly lit, not enough storage for clothes. Definitely not 5 star, it is over priced

Just what I needed!

The room was excellent! Very comfortable and clean and beautifully decorated. It was a really great place to stay for one night while on business.

I thought the size of the room was quite small for the price. And it would have been nice to have a little more privacy on the terrace between the other guests. But it was otherwise lovely.

Whoever designed the lighting for the vanity/sink area should be arrested for malpractice. Garish and nearly impossible to even see oneself.

Excellent location. Great Front desk and restaurant staff. Delicious breakfast. Poor housekeeping.

Excellent Location. Brilliant Staff at Front desk & manager and restaurant and cafe - Service is always with so much energy, with a smile, warm and welcoming, and always helpful. The bar, restaurant, cafe and front desk ambience is inviting, fresh, well designed and creative and impressive personality.

Housekeeping a room maintenance is very poor. We had two rooms on the 10th floor. Rooms 1012 and 1014. The lobby was not vacuumed the whole we were there for 6 nights (we added 5 more nights) - we walked past a big dead cockroach on the carpet just opposite the door every single day despite requests with cleaner to vacuum it. The rooms had balls of carpet dusts. Room 1012 in particular was poorly maintained - toilet door screw handle came off loose, and housekeeping didnt fix it. housekeeping didn't close door after cleaning and left door open with their card key in the card slot in - luckily we had nothing was stolen! Room 1012 shower room door was faulty so water from shower goes all over the floor outside soaking the whole area. Room 1014 the terrace area is not swept , wiped, moped at all. Quite dirty.

Comfortable city hotel.

A nice hotel close to central station and Hyde Park with a large comfortable bed. Their Loam restaurant was good value for money.

Housekeeping was a bit chaotic with room not serviced and had to request tea/coffee/milk replenishment,however, when informed staff responded quickly.

Location & Front staff excellent! Housekeeping fail!

Location is super! Front desk and restaurant staff were always helpful, welcoming and efficient. Design and Decor is creative and ambience is energetic and vibrant. Such a refreshing creative feel from any other property anywhere around the Sydney.

Housekeeping & maintenance is a total fail - we had two rooms and stayed for 6 nights - one of the rooms was 1012. It was not vacuumed even though we requested it twice and we knew front desk noted it down. The carpet was thick with balls of dust; the shower room door didn’t close properly so the water will drench the whole floor, the door to the toilet kept coming off loose. The door was not closed properly by the housekeeping staff and staff key left in the key slot after - and we found our door open after a full day of being out! Total lack of security!

Loved our stay and would stay again if in town; highly recommend.

Excellent service, styling inside and location. The attached restaurant serves really good food and has great atmosphere in and around the hotel. Room was stocked really well with coffee supplies, snacks, cups, glasses etc.

The entrance and bathroom coincide too abruptly, while the bathroom is also separate from the sink. The shower is extremely dark, to the point of being difficult to use at all. Room carpet felt a little dated and dirty.

An absolute delight

Loved the Interiors and the spacious of the room ( we booked the large room and it delivered). The in room record player and chosen records / music were a lovely nostalgic personal touch before a dinner out. Very comfortable king bed, bath and the room service breakfast was amazing. The customer service was fabulous as was the check out at 12 pm. We left revitalised ! Thank you

That we couldn’t stay longer

Loved it! the bed was the highlight of the stay like I couldn’t get out of bed, the shower was amazing

The bed!!! So comfy and the pillows so fluffy, the shower was so relaxing and the aesthetics of the room and hotel were beautiful

At most, the toilet door was shut off completely so when traveling with a companion, it’s a bit out there

We will consider returning as our stay provided the ideal start to our Australian holiday.

Our room was spacious, clean and finished to a high standard. The bar and restaurant provided a delightful ambience in which to meet fellow travellers. We found the staff extremely pleasant and helpful and the whole experience provided the perfect launching pad for our first two days in Australia. The hotel is conveniently situated for multiple choices of travelling to Sydney Harbour but we ended up with a very pleasant walk back.

Lighting poor in toilet and shower room. Car park was expensive and there were inadequate instructions on how to get back to the hotel. A map showing the one way system would have been helpful.

Very easy hotel to get in and out. Good location in the city center, nice staff and clean, modern rooms.

Our room was facing the inner court and you almost couldn’t tell if it was day or night since so little light reached us. The hotel itself is nice but this for us was a big no no. Make sure you check this when booking.

Loved this funky hotel.

Great location and very cool aesthetic. The staff were friendly, and the food and cocktails at the restaurant/bar were fabulous.

The bathroom door is not a complete door, so it's lacking a little privacy if you're travelling with someone.
