Sydney hotels for every type of traveller

Australia's largest city is also its most visited and it's easy to see why. From Palm Beach to Manly, Coogee to Bondi, Sydney has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Plus, there's even more to see when you venture away from the sandy shores and take in the city highlights. Marvel at the iconic Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, wander the shops in The Rocks neighbourhood, take in all the museums, art galleries, and the Royal Botanic Gardens and sample some of the city's best cuisine. Whether you travel alone on a solo adventure, go with a group of your best friends, take your sweetheart away for the trip of a lifetime, or make it a family holiday to remember, there's a place to stay in Sydney for any occasion.

  • Look at Circular Quay or The Rocks to find a hotel right on Sydney harbour. Here you'll find cafes, restaurants, and bars and be within walking distance of the most popular city sights and attractions. 
  • For a quieter trip try Watson's Bay or Manly. It's under an hour away on the ferry from Sydney but with a more laid-back vibe. 
  • For a budget-friendly stay, consider Darlinghurst and check out self-catering apartments here that are especially convenient for families.
