Warmth of character and old world hospitality characterise this delightful small hotel in the heart of the Rocks.The Russell retains the charm of its 1887 origins, whilst offering elegant and comfortable accommodation. Located across the road from Sydney Harbour, and just 10 minutes walk from the Sydney Opera House, Art Gallery of New South Wales, theatres, city shopping and Sydney's finest restaurants. The Russell is the ideal location from which to explore the city sights.

With only twenty-nine rooms, each indiviually decorated, The Russell offers a hospitality and comfort that eludes larger hotels. All rooms have fresh flowers, period furniture and fluffy bathrobes. Our rooftop garden overlooks Circular Quay where you could catch up on your correspondence, read, or perhaps just relax. The service offered is exactly what you would expect - genuinely warm, personalised, discreet and friendly, reflecting the style and ambience of the hotel.

Frommer's Tavel Guide 2003 describes The Russell Hotel as ,"The coziest place to stay in The Rocks and perhaps all of Sydney.

Before setting off to see the sights, enjoy a complimentary light breakfast in Acacia Restaurant, where you may want to return for a delicious lunch or dinner.
