Harbour Rocks Hotel is set in the heart of Sydney’s historic Rocks district, and at over 150 years old is steeped in history itself. This charming boutique hotel provides personal, high quality service and a unique 'home-from-home' ambiance in the midst of this bustling, vibrant city.
Rooms are decorated in a simple and elegant style, and come in a range of categories, with some featuring superb views across the historic Rocks and Sydney Harbour and the luxurious Penthouse Suite boasting views of the iconic Opera House.
There are many dining options close by, in addition to the small on site restaurant, Scarlett, which is open daily and offers a delightful selection of traditional dishes. There's also Eric’s Bar, which is a great place to end the day with a glass of local Australian beer or wine.
