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.

Reasonable experience for the price (which was affordable by Sydney standards)

I love the Ace Hotel Toronto. It's for this reason that I booked the Ace Sydney. The design language is consistent and the location - right in the trendy heart of Surry Hills - it great.

The rooms are smaller than other Ace locations - this is probably a Sydney thing - but still was a bit of a let-down as my standards were we by Toronto. The brunch as also average by Australian standards.

A good stay.

Sydney doesn't have that many good boutique hotels. Ace is one of the exceptions: great location, solid F&B and good-looking, comfortable rooms.

Great location, comfortable, good vibe.

We loved the atmosphere of the Ace hotel. The rooms were very nice and comfortable.

Little things like having no hand soap on the vanity, the shampoo wasn’t actually shampoo, and not enough space to hang towels after use. The mini fridge was too full to put any of your own things in it.

This hotel is so extra and full of character, we fell in love instantly. We brought our pet along, and the staff were so kind and accommodating. Even with some restrictions in the common areas of the hotel, they made sure we were always comfortable and taken care of. Beautiful room, great food, and such lovely people. We’ll be back for sure!

A beautiful hotel and a top location. Quiet well appointed and a great bar and restaurant with super friendly staff

Fantastic location and exceptional staff. Very comfortable beds, and very nice room. Had everything we needed.

Our room tiled floor was dirty and needed a vacuum and mop and two of the glasses in the room were dirty and had not been cleaned. There was food and sticky stuff on the outside of them and liquid residue on their inside surfaces.

City cool vibes

The hotel offers a relaxed city cool vibe, the suite was spacious and the L shaped sofa was great to relax and enjoy the view of the city. The beds were comfortable and helped us sleep soundly through the night. Drinks and dinner had just enough charm to them to make staying in feel special.

Enjoyable but did hope for a coffee off room service.

The atmosphere, view and comfortable bed.

The room was serviced late, there was hand lotion where hand wash should have been. I called 3 times for room service and could not get what I wanted or any communication around options. I also was hung up on when I called at one point.

Peaceful, well located, calming environment in in the heart of the city! Hard to find but they made it happen!

Love the colour scheme of the entire property, calming and welcoming at the same time, no overdue but just enough!

Lack of amenities in the room, you need to ask for small stuff(soap, tooth brush etc.) and cafe food is average.

Great location, just a short walk to Surry Hills where you’ll find plenty of lovely cafés and restaurants. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and we were lucky to stay on the 17th floor with a beautiful view. On our last day, the hotel surprised us with champagne to celebrate our stay at Ace—such a thoughtful gesture that made our first trip to Sydney even more memorable. Highly recommended for couples looking for a hotel with a lively and vibrant atmosphere. ✨

A reasonable hotel on the edge of Surry Hills.

We had a medium-sized room, which was just big enough for the two of us and large bags after we moved the guitar in the room! It has a somewhat strange setup with the basin area within the main room. The shower and toilet are separate, so there is no big problem.

I thought the room was too dark at times as there was no main light. The shower was good, but nowhere to hang towels. Stupid!

Comfortable, super well fitted out. Staff were great and the whole place is really nice. Really great stay

I can imagine that the room would feel tight for two people. Great for solo traveller but there’s not much space if there’s more than one of you or if you had lots of luggage.

Enjoyed our stay, will stay in the future.

This modern hotel radiates a fantastic vibe, and the attention to detail in the finishing touches certainly didn't go unnoticed. The quality of the products is evident, featuring a wonderful variety of unique items that truly stand out. Furthermore, the food was nothing short of exceptional.

The room was a little smaller than I expected.

The decor and the room was clean and well maintained. The terrace was a bonus. The staff were outstanding and so helpful with storing bags and letting our daughters store theirs too when they arrived from a long drive. Can’t praise them enough.

Slightly expensive compared to others in the area. Very dark in the shower and toilet

A hotel for all 5 senses

A hotel for all 5 senses: the food was delicious, spaces immaculate, music on, comfiest beds my back has ever touched, the place smelled beautiful. A feast of art is scattered across the hotel, Julia Gutman spotted. Not much to say, close to perfect in vibe and hospitality

Staff at Loam and the bar (although lovely) can consider being a bit more helpful and problem solving. Loam particularly was unhelpful and turn down a reservation request abruptly.

I am old and.need to spend some time each day relaxing in my room.. There is nowhere to sit but the bed or a tiny stool which has no back and is too low for me to get up from. I can't drink tea nor read the SMH lying down.

The whole hotel was a great vibe. It was stylish, clean and had a nice feel. The rooms were good and had everything we needed. The locaiton was good, close to everything we wanted to do.

The bathroom design is a bit awkward and not great. Would be better if it was fully separate like other hotels.

Fun hotel with a great vibe.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. My friend and I enjoyed a nice late lunch in the restaurant. And I had a cocktail in the bar in the evening. The bed was comfortable.

The shower door opened in such a way that I could not put the bathmat on the floor outside the shower. It was a little awkward. The light switches seemed to be in strange places too. Took some getting used to. And as an older guest, I found the door room numbers (carved in wood) impossible to read! I was in a room ending in 7, and I actually tried two other rooms (ending in 1 and 4) until I finally found the correct one!
