Sydney Hotels

The hotels in Sydney offer something for every taste and budget, from international 5-star chains to chic boutique hotels in Sydney’s trendy suburbs.

The following hotels in Sydney are divided into three categories:

Luxurious (over A $ 300)
Moderate (A $ 100 to A $ 300)
Inexpensive (up to A $ 100).

These are minimum rates for a standard double room with breakfast.

A 10% hotel tax, commonly known as bed tax, is charged in central Sydney. This will be added to the invoice, but is already included in the prices shown here. Most hostels are exempt from bed tax.

BLUE

The BLUE (formerly W Sydney) has probably the boldest concept of any new Sydney hotel. It is located in a converted old harbor building on Woolloomooloo Bay. The exterior of the building has largely remained true to the original, as has the internal structure made of steel girders. The renovation revealed perfectly staged industrial chic.

The rooms are elegantly and modernly furnished and have large desks, broadband internet connection and two telephones.

Establishment

The best that boutique hotels have to offer can be found in the establishment. There are only 31 rooms in this super chic and elegant hotel, including two penthouse suites that differ in color. High warehouse-style ceilings, strong colors and black floorboards dominate the ambience. If you like it a bit more reserved, you can choose a room with a softer color palette. Each room is equipped with a desk, a minibar and a spacious bathroom. In addition to side trips to its various clubs, bars and restaurants, a visit to the award-winning hotel restaurant est is also worthwhile  .

Hotel Altamont
