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.

An absolute delight

Loved the Interiors and the spacious of the room ( we booked the large room and it delivered). The in room record player and chosen records / music were a lovely nostalgic personal touch before a dinner out. Very comfortable king bed, bath and the room service breakfast was amazing. The customer service was fabulous as was the check out at 12 pm. We left revitalised ! Thank you

That we couldn’t stay longer

Loved it! the bed was the highlight of the stay like I couldn’t get out of bed, the shower was amazing

The bed!!! So comfy and the pillows so fluffy, the shower was so relaxing and the aesthetics of the room and hotel were beautiful

At most, the toilet door was shut off completely so when traveling with a companion, it’s a bit out there

We will consider returning as our stay provided the ideal start to our Australian holiday.

Our room was spacious, clean and finished to a high standard. The bar and restaurant provided a delightful ambience in which to meet fellow travellers. We found the staff extremely pleasant and helpful and the whole experience provided the perfect launching pad for our first two days in Australia. The hotel is conveniently situated for multiple choices of travelling to Sydney Harbour but we ended up with a very pleasant walk back.

Lighting poor in toilet and shower room. Car park was expensive and there were inadequate instructions on how to get back to the hotel. A map showing the one way system would have been helpful.

Very good

Very easy hotel to get in and out. Good location in the city center, nice staff and clean, modern rooms.

Our room was facing the inner court and you almost couldn’t tell if it was day or night since so little light reached us. The hotel itself is nice but this for us was a big no no. Make sure you check this when booking.

Loved this funky hotel.

Great location and very cool aesthetic. The staff were friendly, and the food and cocktails at the restaurant/bar were fabulous.

The bathroom door is not a complete door, so it's lacking a little privacy if you're travelling with someone.

Location was great. Roof top bar was wonderful and staff amazing.

We left 2 items in the closet and whilst one was retuned the other was not which was very disappointing. Our fault for leaving but the staff that cleaned the room are not honest.

The hotel was beautiful. Very clean, vintage vibe but modern. The staff were helpful and friendly. We arrived at about 2 with our room almost ready. We were happy to wait and were given a complimentary drink from the bar. Which was a lovely touch. In a great location as well and easy walk to the train station. We both absolutely loved the hotel and recommend to anyone

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.

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.

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.
