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.

Cool NYC vibes in the heart of Sydney CBD

Very chic and cool NYC vibes as soon as you walk in the door. Staff were exceptionally friendly and professional and couldn’t do enough for you. Rooms were spacious and the whole space had such a fabulous vibe. Awesome mini bar and room service. Location was excellent. I will definitely be back as I didn’t get a chance to try the restaurant or roof top bar.

Can’t find a thing!

A perfect dash of Europe come Brooklyn in Sydney !

The staff welcomed us late at night, we were surprised the party going on next door in the bar! Once up in the room there was total silence which we needed after coming from Europe, it was so quiet and dark we slept until friends arrived and the hotel had to ring and wake us up to receive them. The bed was very comfortable obviously ! The location was perfect for what we needed. I loved the atmosphere both in the bar and on the 18th floor. The room comes well equipped too.

Enjoyed my stay

Ace reminds me very much of Ovolo Nishi in Canberra. Classy, quirky, artsy and professional. Staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating. I LOVED how well soundproofed the rooms were!!!

My stay was very smooth. The only bum note was the coffee situation. They need a pod machine. It’s 2025, granulated packet coffee is not chic. And sadly, even the espresso I ordered at the lobby was so bad I couldn’t drink it 😭

refresh my day

The staff are super nice and helpful. I enjoyed the food at both the downstairs and rooftop restaurants. I had 3 or 4 meals at the hotel and every one of them was tasty and well-prepared.

There are a few steps leading up to the hotel reception, so hauling your luggage can be a bit tiring — but thankfully, the staff are all super friendly and happy to help.

Would recommend to everyone to stay here - so beautiful, quiet rooms amongst the vibey fun happening upstairs and downst

Everything - the community vibes was amazing, staff were beautiful and happy, food was delish, drinks were awesome - I felt like I wanted all my friends to stay in the hotel with me because it was a vibe- they loved visiting too!

The only thing was the metal clinking sounds every now and then that was coming from the vents but mentioned to staff and may have just been something off with the aircon. Otherwise maybe some harder pillows please - but I didn’t ask so that’s on me!

Lights too dim in bedroom. Hard to read and do work. For those into mood lighting that’s fine, but how about install a dimmer so the rest of us have a choice.

Super funky hotel in great location

I have wanted to stay at the Ace Hotel since it opened - Finally got to tick it off my list! Great location, amazing style, incredible mini bar - I loved my stay and will be back!

The pillows were really flat, if you are someone like me who prefers more firm pillows I would recommend bringing your own

Reliably stylish and comfortable, in the best part of Sydney.

This is always my favourite place to stay in Sydney. The staff at the front desk and in Kiln Restaurant are exceptional. It’s so close to everything.

There’s no parking on site, and the car parks close by are quite expensive. The staff in the downstairs cafe are a bit off handed and arrogant, very much out of keeping with the rest of the hotel staff.

Great value, comfy stay

My room was comfortable and warm with a great bed. The staff were polite and accommodating. Loved the toiletries and that there was a steamer in the room. Really good for the price.

Found it tricky to use the chromscast without logging out and logging in to the WiFi a few times, and the music downstairs could be improved.

mood lighting

Ten minute walk from Central. 20 minute walk to main street of Surry Hills for dinner. Room was large and comfy, and bath salts given for the bath. two free drinks for the rooftop bar

the taps turn the opposite way which takes a bit of getting used to. Not much of a view from Level 8.

The facilities are all excellent. Very well equipped gym, fabulous restaurant/bar/communal areas . Rooms well appointed. The general vibe of the hotel is very cool and a place that you are happy to linger. Highly recommend.Location is perfect - placed close to the CBD and to Surry Hills.

Cool, charactful and charming, and very convenient. It took us 7 minutes to run to Central to catch our train home.

I loved the Lobby bar and Loam cafe and the all round friendly vibe. The hotel has warm and welcoming feel: beautiful, characterful decor and such cool and charming staff.

The room was a bit squishy for 3 us but would be very comfortable for 1 or 2
