Sydney Hotels

Insights from kimkim local specialists for our hand-selected hotels in Sydney, Australia
Sprawling Sydney extends as far as the suburbs of the Northern Beaches and the foothills of the Blue Mountains, but most of the city's famous sites are concentrated around its iconic harbor and the CBD (Central Business District). Our curated hotels include luxury options like the harborside Park Hyatt, complete with Opera House views, and Capella Sydney, a kimkim favorite housed in a spectacular heritage building just steps from Circular Quay. Those looking for a more boutique stay can base themselves in Sydney's oldest neighborhood at the historic Harbour Rocks Hotel, or explore the trendy inner suburbs from the contemporary VIBE Hotel Sydney—located a stone's throw from vibrant Darlinghurst and the foodie mecca of Surry Hills.
