Establishment

This is one of the most fashionable and desirable places in town. Two suites and 33 rooms offer a choice of lively or tranquil colour schemes, marble or stone bathrooms with separate baths and showers, thick sheets, and CD and DVD players.
Formule 1 Kings Cross

You can count on rooms being spick and span at this reliable budget motel chain. All accommodate three people for the flat room rate, most with a queen and single bunk bed. There’s a TV but not much else.
Four Seasons Hotel

You’ll be able to spot this superbly-located high-rise hotel from many vantages. Inside, the higher the floor number, the better the view. Corner rooms have a full harbour panorama. The marble-clad lobby leads to lovely lounge areas and two fine restaurants.
Hilton

Re-opening in 2005 after massive renovations, the Hilton Sydney is one of the city’spremier land-marks. Alongside super chef Luke Mangan’s glass brasserie and New York designer Tony Chi’s Zeta bar, the luxurious guest rooms include relaxation suites.
Holiday Inn Darling Harbour

The location’s great and so is the Heritage-listed woolstore that houses the hotel. They offer good facilities for business travellers in the executive suites.
Hughenden

This former gentleman’s mansion is a Woollahra institution. Writers’ groups meet and artists exhibit their work within its walls, providing a connection to the surrounding arty community.
Ibis Darling Harbour

The pleasant three-star Ibis hotel is close to all the Darling Harbour attractions, and is a good alternative for a water view without the usual hefty charge.
InterContinental Sydney

A beautiful 1851 Treasury building offers five-star luxury. The soaring foyer has a lovely lounge. All rooms have window seats, a chaise longue and views of the city or harbour and Botanic Gardens.
Jonah’s

Have dinner at Jonah’s and stay at their wonderful guesthouse. Each of the eight deluxe rooms has a private balcony with ocean views, a king bed and Jacuzzi.
Kirketon

Rates at the über-stylish and formerly super-expensive Kirketon have been slashed, so you can afford to splash on a spacious executive room. This hotel contains some of Sydney’s hottest destinations, including Salt.
