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.

We all love staying at the Ace Hotel and will be back!

We arrived early from Victoria and dropped our bags off and freshened up before exploring Sydney. The Ace Hotel is in a great location close to central station and just south of the ANZAC memorial and Hyde Park. During our stay we walked to restaurants in Surrey Hills and Paddington, to the NSW Art Gallery, botanical gardens and city centre, circular quay and Sydney Opera House. The bar area at the Ace Hotel is an excellent place to Catch up with friends and relax. Breakfast at the back of the hotel was great quality and reasonably priced. This is our third stay at the Ace Hotel in Sydney.

We did not like leaving! However, when our flights back to Melbourne were cancelled we were able to stay another night at a reasonable rate!

Fabulous

Wonderful hotel in the middle of Sydney CBD with a stellar view from upper floors. Did not use the bars / restaurant this time around but they were busy which probably indicates they are worth a visit!

Rooms had nice separate toilet to shower, but toilets didn't have a door that went all the way from ceiling to floor. Fine if you're travelling with a partner, but might not be great if you're sharing with a friend!

convenient and comfortable stay in a tremendous central location

Really comfortable bed provided a good nights sleep, the temperature control really added to the overall comfortable environment. The room was well appointed, and plenty of amenities to help our stay. The room was cleaned immaculately every day. Staff were kind curteous and couldnt do enough for us. A top top recommendation

Overall very happy will definitely stay there again

Central location Spacious dining/bar area Nice breakfast Staff particularly helpful gave us our room early despite arriving at 7am. Also looked after our luggage for a few days whilst we visited Uluru

Invoicing haphazard dates of breakfasts and bar food all lumped onto one date. Not clear what we were paying for when

AMAZING HOTEL & STAFF

AMAZING… this was our third stay here and it won’t be our last. The staff are incredible and go above and beyond to make your stay special. The beds are big and comfy. The lobby bar is an added bonus. Especially fun on the weekends. Great location within easy walking distance to the city.

Amazing stay at hotel that sets the benchmark

Amazing stylish new hotel in Surry Hills. Lively vibe in the lobby with several options (bar with dj in the afternoon, restaurant and casual cafe). Fantastic restaurant on the 18th floor.

Check-in could have been friendlier and more informative.

Modern loved the lobby bar area

Room small - bathroom was strange configuration. Vanity in main room toilet separate to a shower room. No overhead lighting in toilet or shower only strip lighting - making ng it too dark

Best sleep of my life and great location in Sydney!

The bed was so comfortable and the blackout curtains were fantastic. The staff were always friendly and helpful. As a Sydneysider myself, the location is the perfect place to stay in Sydney!

The room service website didn’t include the casual cafe, Good Chemistry, downstairs. Sometimes I just wanted a small breakfast snack.

Good but not sure it lived up to the hype

Location, easy to walk to most places though not right smack in the middle of the city.

Felt a bit “cool” in terms of staff and the customer service. Also, the room was TINY and for the price it didn’t match. It was about $50 cheaper than where I usually stay and that was on sale but the size was sooo much smaller. Amazing views though.

Always good, our sixth stay. Just need good coffee in the room. Happy to pay.

Staff welcoming us back by name and remembering our dogs name.

No good coffee in room. Would love a Nespresso or similar machine in the room to have a coffee without having to get up and dressed and go downstairs...
