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.

Very good

I really enjoyed my stay at Ace Hotel Sydney. The location is excellent, and the F&B options within the hotel are a standout, especially the restaurant on the 18th floor and the bar—both offering a great atmosphere, delicious food, and drinks. The young guy at reception who checked me in was absolutely fantastic—super friendly, welcoming, and exactly the kind of person you want to see in hospitality. More staff like him would make a big difference!

However, there are some areas that need improvement. The lighting in the room was insufficient, particularly in the bathroom, toilet, and wardrobe area where the mirror is—it was way too dim, making it difficult to get ready. Also, the room itself was extremely small, barely enough space even for one person.

The fridge designed to attach to the cabinet door, somehow it didn’t close correctly so the fridge couldn’t freeze…

Incredible service, gorgeous hotel - fabulous time.

After a small hiccup in our check in process, manager went above and beyond including a complimentary ungraded room, and drinks. Much more than we would expect in such a situation.

Cool architecture and funky vibes, super welcoming friendly staff ultra convenient inner city location.

Wow factor +. Funky cool vibes with the incredible convenience of a great bar and two restaurants on site. That and a 6 minute Uber ride to our venue - loved it.

No conspire carpark nor drop off zone. Comes with the inner city location of course. But it was pure luck we got a carpark on a busy weekend. Would have been a spoiler if we had not.

We had an awesome, fun filled weekend at the Ace Hotel and it’s now our go to hotel for city stays!

As a design buff and music lover, I loved the unique features like art work everywhere, record players, radios and guitars in the rooms, concrete ceilings, comfy 70’s style chairs etc. I’ve never been in a hotel that had such a pumping lobby on a weekend! Dj sets and a good crowd made it exciting and you really didn’t need to leave the bar for a god time!

I would’ve liked every room to have a record player. I requested a room with one and was told our room had one but it didn’t.

Good location close to shops and circular key.

Taking train from airport, exit at Museum station, just a 5 min walk to hotel. Clean facilities, comfortable bed

Lighting in the bathroom area was dark, the privacy of an enclosed bathroom was not there. You had to dry in the shower area and use the toilet in another side of the open bathroom

A short cosy stay

After a 24 hour journey this was exactly what I needed. Cosy and comfortable with welcoming staff. Loved the shampoo/conditioner etc. and the robe, steamer etc. were a great addition!

My room was pretty small with no where to put my luggage at all, which I guess is what I paid for, but a luggage rack or something would have been great. It was also really incredibly dark, especially in the shower and toilet which was really frustrating whilst trying to beat jet lag.

Ace Hotel Sydney is one of the best hotels we’ve experienced in Sydney. We’ve stayed twice, and both visits have been amazing . The staff are outstanding, the facilities are excellent, and the interior design truly sets it apart from other hotels in Sydney. During our second stay, we encountered an issue with our room, but a staff member, Pablo, handled it professionally and with great care, making our overall experience and comfort.
