"With a great location in the middle of the Rocks... the Russell still somehow manages to feel more like a cosy country B&B than a city-centre hotel." Full review

"A small hotel with popular shared-bathroom rooms, plus en-suite options; the priciest have views of Circular Quay."

"Sure, it's a Hilton, and hence a magnet for large groups... But a $150 million renovation in 2005 infused this place with a knockout design."

"Alongside super chef Luke Mangan’s glass brasserie and New York designer Tony Chi’s Zeta bar, there are luxurious guest rooms and relaxation suites that are divided into Zen-like zones."
