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.

Perfect for a quick business trip

Funky little hotel - room was very small but as I was working it wasn't an issue. I was only there to sleep. Staff were great - i initially booked the wrong date and they waived all non-cancellation fees so I could rebook the correct date. It was during the Taylor Swift madness and the price wasn't exorbitant considering the scarcity of rooms that night.

Room was definitely "cosy"

Fashionable hotel with easy access to transport.

Great location not far from Central Station. Very nice decor and lovely bar downstairs to enjoy late at night after exploring the city. Restaurants of all sorts near by and public transport very close with trains and trams both handy. Loved the styling in the room and foyer and the staff were very very friendly.

Nothing to not like.

Perfect city stay

Great rooms. Even the medium room felt very luxurious and big. The bar was great as were the restaurants/cafe. The room was immaculate and always cleaned to perfection. Staff were lovely. Honestly everything was exceptional.

The only thing missing was a swimming pool but that’s not even a flaw really. Maybe a bit better lighting in the bathroom and potentially consider a on-the-house minibar in a boutique hotel of such calibre.

Great place to relax and chill, catch up with people and as a base for seeing Sydney.

Love the feel of the hotel, the hospitality and the general vibe. Just a really nice, relaxed place to spend time.

The rooms are smaller, but have everything you need, and use the space really well.

Fabulous stay, would definitely book again.

We loved the location and the room was lovely. Comfy bed, bit noisy as we were on floor 17 under the roof top bar so we could hear people moving chairs etc. Great bar, cafe and restaurant area but we didn't really have time to spend in there. Wish we had more time.

Being under the rooftop bar as we could hear people moving their chairs around. We ordered room service breakfast one morning and they didn't have the decaf coffee we ordered so brought normal so it got wasted but the breakfast was lovely.

Aesthetic retreat in perfect central location

Located in a great location, able to walk to museums, shopping and restaurants. Room was large and everything was very clean and aesthetically chosen. Both the lobby restaurant & the rooftop were great too! Everything throughout the hotel is very considered, art in all areas and the hotel didn't seem overly "busy" - so lifts up and down were quick too!

The record player didn't have any instructions and wasn't working at all. Staff had to come back 3 times to sort it out and switch it over. Would be great if there were some basic instructions alongside it. The shower doesn't have anywhere to hang your towel, so we had to leave clothes/towels on the edge of the bathroom sink and reach out to grab them (probably not an issue if travelling with your partner, but we were friends sharing the room).

Had the best stay and in a great location

The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The hotel decor was really cool. The room we had was exactly as we expected, we had two double beds: I slept in one with our little guy and my husband slept in one with our pre-schooler. The restaurant was also so nice and again, lovely helpful staff! Perfect location too, near Museum station and felt safe around at night.
