Establishment Hotel, Sydney
More photosExpert reviews
“With its loft-like designed spaces and dimly lit hallways that smell of incense, this place feels like your chic pied-à-terre in Sydney.”
“In a discreet laneway, this designer boutique hotel in a refurbished 19th-century warehouse evokes Asia with its incense aromas and dark-wood fittings. There are two principal room styles: ‘light’ and sexier ‘dark’.”
“Establishment is Sydney’s stylish headquarters for dining, drinking and sleeping, and is home to a range of top restaurants, bars, and a nightclub. It’s within walking distance to some of Sydney’s most well-known sights, but with so much going on under the one roof, you might have trouble leaving.”

Mostly The good. And the Bad
The location was in great Proximity, to most, if not all of Sydney's Darlington Harbour Attractions.
Room was clean. and tidy. Bathroom wad awesome.
Staff were friendly.
The Security staff and bouncers are very quick to turn away ppl who can't dance. Saying they look drunk. When it comes to Latin dancing everyone is bad.
. I was very quickly Tapped and annoyed that they removed me without a breath test or sobriety test.

Will definitely recommend this hotel and return to stay again.
The Reception staff were very welcoming and went above and beyond.
Slightly noisy nearby room, but not a prolonged issue. There were no sweet options in the mini bar.

Ace Hotel, Sydney
CN Traveler + 1 more“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.”

Q Station Harbour National Park Hotel, Sydney
New York Times“History buffs and those in search of views and solitude will appreciate Q Station’s smartly refurbished rooms and historic cottages located inside a nook of the Sydney Harbour National Park in Manly. The grounds are dotted with historic buildings where guests can pass the time as quarantined migrants once did, playing billiards, table tennis or savoring the views of Sydney Harbour over cups of tea.”

Bondi Beach House Bed & Breakfast, Sydney
The Guardian“Accommodation in Sydney doesn’t come cheap, but one affordable secret is tucked among the palms and frangipani trees of south Bondi Beach. A former school, the Bondi Beach House has nine sunny rooms and suites, each decorated with tasteful antiques and Australian works of art.”
