Establishment Hotel  

Hidden down Bridge Lane in Sydney’s CBD, this boutique luxury hotel sits steps from Australia Square and Macquarie Place. Stroll to the Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, The Rocks and the Botanical Gardens. Nestled above some of the city’s best eateries like Mr. Wong and Sushi e, it’s a prime city-center base for food and culture.

Housed in a restored 1930s publishing building, the 31 individually decorated suites mix rustic beams and cast-iron fixtures with modern comforts. Expect spacious layouts, pillowtop beds with Egyptian cotton sheets, refrigerators and minibars, flat screens and iPads, plus bathrooms with deep soaking tubs, separate showers and rainfall heads.

Live it up with a nightclub and fitness center onsite, unwind with massage and spa services, or take a dip in the indoor and outdoor pools. Concierge and wedding services keep things effortless, while 24-hour room service and multiple bars/lounges mean late-night bites and drinks are never far away.

Conference space and meeting rooms are available for events, backed by complimentary wireless internet access and limo/town-car options. Express check-out, luggage storage and concierge services make work stays slick and simple.

Choose from three on-site restaurants including the acclaimed Sushi e, plus four bars and lounges. Full breakfasts are served daily (for a fee), and 24-hour room service covers late-night cravings—perfect for sampling Sydney’s flavors without leaving the hotel.
