Harbour Rocks Hotel Sydney 

A boutique hotel in the heart of The Rocks

Dating back to 1887, this charming boutique hotel is heritage listed.

Located in Sydney’s historic Rocks area, this fully refurbished boutique hotel whisks you back to a bygone era. The beautiful hotel is steeped in history – built by 12 convict carpenters and 16 hired men on the site of Sydney’s first hospital. Start your day with a caffeine-boosting coffee and breakfast bagel from Creperie Suzette before heading out on foot to explore the Sydney Harbour Bridge, The Opera House and the Museum of Contemporary Art - all within walking distance of the hotel. Browse the nearby boutique shops and art galleries, before taking a ferry from Circular Quay to the beaches at Manly or Watsons Bay before returning to the hotel for dinner at Tayim Restaurant or any of The Rocks popular restaurants.

The hotel's restaurant, Tayim, specialises in Middle Eastern cuisine and sprawls out onto a lovely al fresco terrace. Creperie by Suzette offers a range of sweet and savoury morning snacks, perfect for an energy boost before exploring Sydney. Don’t miss a nightcap at Eric's bar where you can learn about the 19th-century seafarer who gave the bar its name. You are also just steps from a good range of international restaurants in The Rocks.

As this is a heritage hotel there is not a guest lift here.

This hotel has a wheelchair accessible room on the ground floor.
