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.

Loved our stay!

Excellent friendly staff, great breakfast, loved the lobby bar!!

The only thing and it's really not that much of an issue is the room was a little on the small side, we had travelled internationally so had quite a few large cases other than that it would of been fine!

If you appreciate great design and architecture it's a must stay!

Best hotel experience I'd had of late. Stayed with my best friend in a twin room which was super comfortable. Beds were amazing (although I only realised in the morning there was a pillow menu as I'm not a fan of feather pillows). Room is tight but all you need, bathroom generous for a room of this size. Just loved all the details, everything feels so curated and bespoke. We were staying for a concert in Town Hall which was an easy walk. Lots of eating and drinking options within the hotel. Would 100000% go back!

Nothing!

Very good

Funky vibe to the hotel. We stayed in the large room so if felt spacious for the night. Nice lower cbd view. Great location for what we were doing for the night.

Bathroom was very dark and there was no coffee pod machine only instant coffee, seriously what is the 90s? Construction noise next door from 7am.

Great location, modern hotel with all amenities

Great location. Room was good size with all amenities. Had room on 10th floor which was very quiet. Staff at the desk were extremely helpful and polite

Breakfast wasn’t included, but was actually thankful as it wasn’t great and v expensive for what you got. Plenty of better places nearby to have breakfast- AP Bakery

Very nice interior, felt VERY clean, and the location was great

The room itself felt very new and clean; we got a free upgrade to a medium sized room and it was certainly better than the original small one we sought. The interior design is very neat and I appreciated what seemed like sound proofing? The room was quiet and the perfect temperature, controlled by ourselves.

I don’t like the placement of the room’s drain, as it’s right where one would stand in front of the sink to do anything. No slippers were provided and everything extra did cost quite a bit more than I expected. The lighting in the toilet and shower areas was very dim; can be relaxing for some, but for others, it’s a struggle to see which flush button to push.

Great design and art through the hotel, some surprising interventions by artists like Jason Phu, Tony Albert, Julia Gutman and more The overall design was also of a very high standard.and much more enjoyable than the average "corporate " style hotel.

Lovely hotel, very different in all the right ways.

The venue exceeded our expectations from the images provided, it was very comfortable and the large room was lovely and comfortable, the touches of the guitar and record player in the room added to the ambience. Room service from Loam Restaurant was just as good upstairs in the room as it was downstairs in the restaurant.

The onsite cafe Good Chemistry had good coffee but the food options were disappointing

Concrete jungle luxury

The attention to detail was amazing and the staff were so friendly, warm and accomodating. The furnishings are stunning, the bed was soooooo comfy and the little touches (like the Deiji Studios robes) were so luxe. The location was great, the overall “vibe” of the hotel is grungy / factory / exposed brick but with a “levelled up” feel of luxury. The rooftop bar Kiln was also divine, so beautiful and chic. Would definitely stay here again and looking forward to it!

Very good

Great location, close to a lot of popular restaurants and bars in Surry Hills. Great bar downstairs and a good (albeit compact) gym.

Rooms are lovely but fairly small and there is very little privacy in terms of the way the bathroom is set up (shower and toilet doors open straight into the bedroom). Just something to be mindful of!

Cool luxury

This is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. Great vibe, awesome decor, all the mod cons. Would definitely recommend!

The tea selection was pretty sub par and the mugs were very small. This is a tiny issue, but as a tea drinker, I was a bit disappointed.

The staff was friendly, helpful and fun. Cannot say enough positive things about them!!! Hotel is located in Surry Hills, in walking distance from the train station and Hyde Park. Great vibe.

The lighting in the room was driving me crazy. lol. Mood lighting in the shower and toilet area - barely enough to see! Shaving legs ? Forget about it! Also, when you turned one light off, another one went on. One light was on all night - only way to shut all lights off was to pull the keycard - which shuts off the A/C.

The hotel is absolutely beautiful, with a unique and thoughtfully curated design in every corner. The restaurants are excellent, and we were lucky to enjoy a weekend with fantastic live music. The staff is very friendly and attentive. After staying at the Ace in New York and Sydney, our next destination is Japan!

We booked two large rooms, but one was noticeably smaller than the other. Although the staff made an effort to offer a replacement, we didn’t quite get what we originally reserved. Housekeeping didn’t vacuum the room during our stay.

Love it - any time in Sydney it’s my

The reception staff actively found me a room knowing I’d arrived very early in the morning after a 26 hour commute from London. They also accommodated me for an extra night when there was the fire at Heathrow. Their cafe and room service was amazing- I dare you to find a better breakfast and the bed and pillows! Even when dealing with uk to au jetlaf they made all the difference.

I have told all the friends who came to Sydney for the same event as me that they should have booked the ace. This was my second visit and I love everything about it. The reception, cafe and bar staff are lovely, the rooms are clean and so well designed and comfortable and the service is fab. There is nothing I don’t like about it - I’ve been so well taken care of. The only disaster was a fire alarm at 8am when id been up at a party quite late the night before but totally out of their control and they got us back to our rooms really quickly.
