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.

Fun hotel in the heart of Sydney!

This is a very fun hotel! Our room had a vinyl player so we brought our own vinyls to use which really elevated the experience. The room design is very thoughtful. Plenty of storage areas and places to put your bags. Great location, would definitely return again.

The reception was incredibly busy as there were only two staffed rostered on when there probably needed to be at least 4-5. Minor complainant but makes asking questions at the front desk a bit difficult.

Location fantastic & the beds and pillows extremely comfortable

Very low lighting which made it difficult to get ready. I couldn’t find the hair dryer and it was instant coffee, I would have expected a coffee machine in this style of accommodation and price point.

It was a nice short stay at Ace Hotel Sydney. We would love to come back and stay there again

I like Ace Hotel for its location, relative new, the rooms are clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. It has a casual up market vibe; not too serious.

Nothing really.

A perfectly relaxing stay with cool vibes, great music, and the most comfortable bed!

Absolutely loved our stay! The atmosphere was effortlessly cool and welcoming. The record player in the room was such a fun touch — we spent hours listening to a great mix of vinyls. The bedding was incredibly comfortable, made of natural fabrics that felt fresh and cozy. Every detail made the stay feel thoughtful and unique. Can’t wait to come back!

Honestly, when the checkout survey asked what I didn’t like, nothing came to mind. Can’t wait to stay here again!

Great location for city stay!

Location is perfect, love being on the edge of the city and close to Surry Hills restaurants. Quiet and easy to walk everywhere. Funky industrial aesthetic. Beds were comfy. Happy hour cocktail in downstairs lounge was delicious!

Our room was not made up on the second day, housekeeping arrived at 4.30pm and we’d arrived back in room to get ready to go out again so that was disappointing. The roof top bar being closed on Sunday night was annoying. No parking. Carpet was fraying near tiles. Didn’t love the blankets as bed covers.

Great facilities, good energy. I’ll be back.

Check-in is easy, the rooms are well maintained and comfortable. While some can be on the smaller side, for a little extra cost, you can enjoy much larger and more comfortable rooms. There are three options for dining, from the fancier Kiln to the casual Loam or, for a quick daytime coffee, an excellent cafe. I’ve never used the bar on the ground level, but it has a nice buzz of an evening. Location wise, it’s on the fringe of downtown and adjacent to vibrant Surry Hills. It’s a great spot.

I had to rush to check out and it took longer than usual at a peak period.

Really fun hotel. Lots of luscious textural layering throughout the hotel. Excellent mini bar choices. Lovely high ceilings in the rooms. Good dining options.

Immaculately clean. Beautiful decor and such vibrant lively fun surroundings! The downstairs bar was full and inviting, incredible martini and views from the roof.

My bedroom door would make a lot of noise. I wedged a flannel in it to stop it moving.

Very nice hotel, clean with a warm young vibe

The hotel is very stylish and has a cool atmosphere, love every little details in the room. The restaurants and bar are all very nice too and the food and cocktails are to the expected standard. The stuff is all very friendly

Few minor things can be improved like there is no light on the closet (and it really needs one), and after cleaning the room they would not replace things like coffe or tea bags so we had to ask the reception for more.

Loved it - would stay again. Quiet and well thought out.

Location was great, within easy walking distance to the Sydney art gallery, botanic gardens and harbour. Absolutely loved how quiet the room was, a huge plus for a light sleeper. Pillows were also fantastic and not gigantic firm abominations as some hotels tend to go for looks and not comfort. Very much appreciated the ability to leave our bags there as we waited for check in. The bar in the hotel on ground level had a great range of tequilas. Also its proximity to a hidden gem of a coffee/muffin place tucked behind the AFP building.

It was super peculiar, we had a male knock on our door and say 'House keeping' in the late afternoon and try to open the door - it sounded like they had a card that worked. Eeek! We said we didn't want anything and they didn't come in and left. We didn't hear any other rooms being asked for housekeeping.
