Our take on Hotel Palisade
“A 1916 pub-hotel on the Millers Point bluff, restored with a handful of polished rooms, the Henry Deane rooftop bar and bridge views; the connoisseur's boutique rather than a full-service hotel.”

Where else to stay
Best in Sydney
Capella Sydney
Farrer Place, CBD sandstone precinct, Sydney, Australia
The 1912 Department of Education sandstone, transformed in 2023: the Auriga spa pool, Brasserie 1930 and the country's finest interiors; the stay itself is the attraction.

Four Seasons Hotel Sydney
George Street, Circular Quay, Sydney, Australia
The harbour-view tower at Circular Quay: Opera House panoramas from the full-harbour rooms, walking distance to everything, and gentler rates than the harbour's other big names.
9.2Excellent · 8,139 guest reviews
Park Hyatt Sydney
Campbells Cove, The Rocks, Sydney, Australia
The low-rise at the water's edge beneath the Harbour Bridge, reinvented in a 2012 overhaul: Opera House views straight across the cove from the harbour rooms and the rooftop pool, and the most romantic address in Sydney. Priced accordingly.
9.4Excellent · 694 guest reviews
Crown Towers Sydney
Barangaroo, Sydney, Australia
The 75-storey tower that opened on the Barangaroo waterfront in late 2020: big glass-walled rooms with harbour and bridge views, Crown Spa and a run of big-name restaurants. A casino resort underneath, so it suits those who like scale.

The Langham, Sydney
Kent Street, Millers Point, Sydney, Australia
A small, residential-feeling hotel on the quiet western edge of the Rocks: English-country interiors, an indoor pool under a starlit ceiling and one of the city's best afternoon teas. Few views, a great deal of calm.
9.4Excellent · 1,562 guest reviews
Shangri-La Sydney
The Rocks, Sydney, Australia
A 36-storey tower above the Rocks with harbour, bridge and Opera House views from most rooms and Blu Bar on 36 at the top: a big, efficient hotel whose view-for-money ratio is the best in the city.

Hotels we rank alongside Hotel Palisade
Ovolo Sydney
Finger Wharf, Woolloomooloo, Sydney, Australia
Loft-style rooms inside the 1915 Woolloomooloo Finger Wharf, a short walk from the Botanic Garden: design-forward, generous inclusions and a water's-edge restaurant strip outside; the fun, fairly priced alternative. A renovation announced in August 2026 is under way, with the hotel open at reduced capacity: refurbished rooms come first, with new cocktail bars and dining due late in 2026.
9.4Excellent · 2,477 guest reviews
Kimpton Margot Sydney
Pitt Street, CBD, Sydney, Australia
The Art Deco former Sydney Water headquarters (1939), reborn as a Kimpton: streamlined period interiors, Luke Mangan's Luke's Kitchen and a rooftop pool; a characterful CBD hotel, open since 2022.
9.2Excellent · 1,457 guest reviews
The Fullerton Hotel Sydney
Martin Place, CBD, Sydney, Australia
Sydney's grand Victorian General Post Office, run by Singapore's Fullerton group: heritage rooms in the sandstone GPO wing, a central address between the harbour and the shops, and fair rates for the building.
9.0Excellent · 11,137 guest reviews
Pier One Sydney Harbour, Autograph Collection
Walsh Bay, Sydney, Australia
A converted heritage wharf right beneath the Harbour Bridge: water-level rooms, a relaxed harbourside bar and the Rocks on the doorstep; the easy-going waterfront alternative to the towers.
8.9Very good · 1,981 guest reviews
W Sydney
Darling Harbour, Sydney, Australia
Marriott's W in the Ribbon building over Darling Harbour: an infinity pool above the water, loud design and a busy bar scene; the scene pick rather than the serene one, well placed for the harbourside and the convention centre.
