"You couldn’t be closer to the action than at The Grace. The restored hotel dates from the 1930s and its refurbishment has retained the building’s original Art Deco style."

"This charming hotel is housed in an 11-storey corner block – a loose copy of the Tribune Tower in Chicago – that began life in 1930 as the headquarters of department store giant Grace Brothers." Full review

"Its location, albeit a long 20-minute walk to the Opera House, is fairly reflected in the relatively modest rates. The hotel adjoins an arcade in the bustling south side of the financial district." Full review

"You can't get much closer to the waterfront than this converted factory: It sits smack-dab on a wharf, with boats tucking into their docks outside the windows."

"This modern boutique hotel is one of the coolest in Sydney. Sip fabulous cocktails at the awardwinning Water Bar and enjoy the luxury robes and Aveda bath products."

"Guests love the authentic structures of the former wharf (pulleys, giant trusses, and brontosaurus-like machinery), its location... and the chance to be on the harbor but in a quieter location." Full review

"Carefully constructed around support beams and pipes from a 100-year-old wheat and wool wharf, Blue Sydney offers a beautiful mix of old and new that juts out into the Woolloomooloo harbor." Full review
