The Grace Sydney

A great heritage building nicely renovated beautiful interior and architecture. The lobby looks amazing, you are staying at historical place. The location is so central to attractions from Darling Harbour, Rocks, opera house and etc. all within 15min walking distance. Rooms were nice and comfortable, good size bed, shower. And they had this pleasant aroma and nice temperature when we arrived. Really enjoyed our stay!

Our stay at The Grace Hotel was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The service at reception was excellent — warm, professional, and efficient during both check-in and check-out. Our room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable, and the welcoming bottle of champagne on ice was such a thoughtful touch. We loved that the mini bar was complimentary and included bottled water, juice, and soft drinks — a really nice gesture that made the stay feel extra special. Breakfast the next morning was impressive, with a huge buffet of both hot and cold options. The variety and freshness stood out and set us up perfectly for the day. The hotel’s central CBD location made it easy to walk to shops, restaurants, and attractions. Paid parking was close by — we didn’t realise it wasn’t directly on-site, but it was only a short walk and still very convenient for a city stay. The Art Deco charm of the building, combined with modern, well-maintained rooms, created the perfect blend of character and comfort. Overall, The Grace Hotel offers a beautiful mix of history, great service, and thoughtful extras. We’d happily stay again and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a stylish city stay.

Stayed for two nights (three rooms booked via Booking.com) and everything was seamless, easy parking, smooth check-in, and genuinely friendly staff. We had two Signature Deluxe Twin rooms and one Signature Superior King (disabled access). All were spotless, spacious, and well-kept. Showers were hot, beds had that perfect medium-firm feel, and the soft pillows made for a great night’s sleep. My 8-year-old niece came along and was utterly dazzled by how fancy everything was. She loved the mini bar, room service popcorn, slippers, robes, the indoor pool and she’s still talking about the pancake machine at the buffet breakfast (solid 10/10 from her). The Grace Hotel itself oozes history. Built in the 1930s as the old Grace Bros. headquarters, it’s a beautiful example of Art Deco architecture. Everywhere you turn there’s something interesting to look at, elegant arches, polished stone, and that old-world charm you don’t get in modern hotels. It’s also in a brilliant location, walking distance to the QVB, Pitt Street Mall, Darling Harbour, Barangaroo and the Light Rail. Bonus points for being allergy-friendly: no heavy fragrances, tiled hotel rooms, and rugs that can be removed if needed, small details that really make a difference. All in all, a great stay in a stunning historic building. We’ll definitely be back… mostly because my niece now thinks she’s an heiress who travels with robes, slippers, and an unlimited pancake button.
