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.

So ace

Amazing atmosphere, stylish, comfortable furnishings, friendly people, amazing food and service. We felt so welcome and at home during our stay. I wanted to move in!

A couple of minor housekeeping things - a toothbrush and tissues from the previous guest were left in the room, and the radio didn't work - but didn't detract from our experience.

They allowed us to check in (after they found a room) at 9am when we arrived, which, after a 22hr flight journey, was amazingly perfect. The room was silent (even though the piles of glassware from the rooms next door signalled they had very fun and loud evenings!). There was plenty of storage, and great amenities in the room. And the room was gorgeous! Everything we could have asked for, done exceptionally well!

We ordered room service for breakfast which was delivered quickly and professionally and utterly delicious. It was so good we did it again the next morning :) Beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of space for what we needed. Loved the big shower, hot water never gave up. Block out curtains made sure we slept in way longer than we usually do, making it a great holiday. Really great bar downstairs just in case you didn't want to go far for anything, but close to some fantastic restaurants and public transport.

Great Experience

Great location, friendly staff and the on site cafe and restaurant/bar were excellent. The aesthetic was well delivered on down to the small details.

I wish the shower and toilet had brighter lights or they were on a dimmer like the rest of the room. The dim lighting was a bit claustrophobic.

An exceptionally cool, lax and comfy hotel. a truely unique place and experience.

The ace hotel is an exceptionally cool, lax and comfy hotel. One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in, including the restaurant, friendly staff, and uber cool room. I enjoyed the turntable and speaker in the room, including the massive floor-to-ceiling windows, gorgeous views, and the king-size lounge and king-size bed. My only regret is not staying for a few more nights! What a treasure.

I wish the hotel had a swimming pool and spa.

Pretty much everything

Lights for wc and shower not at obvious locations, the door of wc and shower not full height, could hear noise from water pipes from another room, so basically the design of the wet areas could be improved

We love Ace, stay most the time we visit Sydney. Rooms are great, love the location. Can’t fault it, we always come back!

The only thing that would elevate the experience would be a club sandwich added to room service menu 😊

If you have any appreciation for the gift of sight, reward your eyes by staying at the Ace hotel.

As a first timer it appeared well placed for someone like myself who likes to venture without much of a purpose. I found nearby coffee houses with ease, although necessitating welcomed and frequent changes in elevation, abundant parks with trees so tall they seemed to have had their inception during the jurassic period, and vistas of trains, and train crossings, adding a pleasant feeling to the city. For what is worth mentioning in the room itself, begin by thinking of a bunker recently updated with modern amenities - concrete ceilings, the thank-the-heavens-its-back-in style rust coloured carpets to host the bed, surrounded on one side by soft earth toned brick flooring, and cream coloured flowing blinds across the window on the other. There was also a marble basin, flute bathroom windows, light-coloured bricks, and emerald tiles to compliment the rain shower. The restaurant on the top floor, Kiln, cannot be rendered to any words created in written language, its simply an indescribable must experience aesthetic for the senses.

In the night I found myself searching for the light switches on the lights above the bed head like an old man needing to find his glasses on the side table in the morning. There should be switches on the side tables rather than the lights themselves. Perhaps I did not look hard enough, but there was no light in the bathroom. Although its much part of the room, out of habit or otherwise, I prefer to have the door closed when sitting on the toilet. For difficult sleepers such as myself, small plastic coverings that can be shifted to hide the green lights that made me feel like I was back at a psytrance rave in the early 2000s, would be appreciated, or perhaps a light killswitch that keeps the other features of the room running, such as the AC or fridge. Have a soft pillow option. I think there must be a mandate across hotels to have a certain thickness of pillows, which is too much; they are both too heigh and too hard, there must be a healthy medium.

Pleasant would be happy to stay again

Location was close to all amenities and good restaurants. convenience store 30 metres up the road. Central station easy walk away. I liked, particularly, the guitar in the room. That was a first for me and I'm 76!

An amazing experience in a beautifully designed hotel.

This is a wonderful, beautifully designed hotel in an ideal location for exploring Sydney. The staff is exceptionally friendly and made our stay truly memorable. You can enjoy a delicious breakfast in the restaurant and relax with a cocktail in the evening while taking in the city views. If we ever have the chance to visit Sydney again, we will definitely return to this hotel.

This time the cleaners had oversprayed room spray which was over powering. Aircon took care of it in an hour.
