5 Bridge Lane

This boutique hotel, with its sleek, modern design and first-class accommodations, is the perfect jumping-off point for seeing many of Sydney’s most famous sites. But with access to a private gym and plenty of on-site bars and restaurants, you’ll be hard-pressed just to make it past the front desk.

207 Darlinghurst Road

The arty and shabby-chic suburb of Darlinghurst makes the perfect setting for Altamont, a hip—and budget-friendly—boutique hotel. You’ll be a stone’s throw from Sydney’s coolest restaurants and nightlife hot spots. But the best part? The Altamont encourages late checkouts, so feel free to sleep in.

6 Cowper Wharf Road

The Taj Group’s first Australian property, Blue Sydney is a luxurious-feeling 100-room hotel located on the Wharf at Woolloomooloo in Sydney. You can relax in your well-appointed guest room and take in views of Sydney Harbor and the Royal Botanical Gardens. Or step out to explore the larger wharf complex.

14 Kings Cross Road

If you stay in one of Diamant’s 76 generously portioned rooms, you’ll quickly find yourself in the heart of the action. Located in the center of the Darlinghurst, Kings Cross, and Potts Point Triangle, Diamant is surrounded by an abundance of mouthwatering eateries and offers easy access to Sydney’s most vibrant nightlife.
