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.

A great hotel in the best part of Sydney

We love the Ace for it's unique design and location

The staff are wonderful however we have been to the Ace at least 10 times and they never seem to know this. A simple welcome back or thanks for staying with us again would be a nice touch.

All in all a great stay

Comfortable bed, great location, nice coffee shop and bar. Nice shower.

Noisy air conditioning with a bright light that illuminated the room and made it difficult to sleep.

Close to central so easy to get where you need. Fab bars and eats in nearby Surrey Hills.

Design all around you is great. Makes it really enjoyable environment to be in. Restaurant is great, and the cafe for coffee and morning juice etc great too. Rooms are calm and have great showers.

Lighting is lovely and moody just little tricky for make up - perhaps a mirror light would help.

Great Stay in Sydney with great restaurants

The hotel is overall great, it feels trendy and modern. The restaurants are great. It’s just one metro stop away from the Opera or a 30-minute walk.

It doesn’t offer breakfast and rooms can be a little bit on the small side.

Friendly staff, stylish rooms, bar and restaurant on site, great locale

Only element was not much space to move around bed and block out blinds didn’t have a pull stick - that’s being very picky however!

It was a beautiful old property restored to a very high level. Throughout the hotel everything was of a high standard which probably my reason for a slightly lower rate was the room was on the small side for us with our cases but with historical buildings you have to compromise somewhere. staff super helpful and friendly and they did their utmost to get our room ready as we had arrived at 8am after a 24 hour flight. Would definitely return ...

Our fav place to stay in Sydney

Friendly vibe across reception, cafe and bar staff including bar security. The room was super clean room, well designed with a particularly comfortable bed and the perfect amount of room for a 2 night stay.

This hotel just became our fav place to stay in Sydney. We will be back again soon and hoping that you change very little.....except maybe a designated drop off/pick up area in front of the hotel for added convenience.

Very good

A very unique hotel, we enjoyed the creativity and the colours. Seems like a very luxurious hotel with the restaurants and great reception staff. Good amenities

Although there is a shower door, the water pools underneath and soaks the floor mat, having to wipe it up everytime. The lights in the room were very dark at the entry, although some are on dimmers still hard to see. The guitar and the record player were an interesting touch but created more clutter in the double double room and we wanted to put our things on the tables

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.

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.
