03
The Old Clare Hotel
Sydney
A former brewery and pub in Chippendale converted into a design hotel with several restaurants and bars.
Sydney is built around its harbor, and the best boutique hotels make the most of the water. Woolloomooloo's Finger Wharf, a long timber pier turned into apartments and a design hotel, looks across to the Botanic Garden, while Potts Point and Darlinghurst offer hotels in Art Deco and Victorian buildings a short walk from the cafés and restaurants of Kings Cross and Surry Hills. Bondi has its own Italian-influenced small hotel right on the beachfront promenade.
Where to stay
Choose Woolloomooloo or Potts Point for harbor views and walkable dining, the Rocks and Circular Quay for sightseeing, and Bondi for the beach. Most visitors use the ferries and trains rather than cars.
Good to know
Spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) are the most comfortable seasons; summer is hot and busy, and New Year's Eve fills the harbor.
