10 Best Sydney Hotels With Harbour Views

Gold Coast Travel Co
Visiting Sydney is all about the harbour. As a city Sydney has a big marine focus whether its Sydney’s famous beaches or the even more famous harbour. Would you like to spend a few days in a hotel that has a fantastic view of Sydney Harbour Bridge, The Opera House or the whole harbour? If so you are in the right place. Hotels with amazing harbour views aren’t cheap or even moderately priced, but the views are spectacular. From quaint boutique lodgings to luxurious premium hotels, here is my list of the 10 best hotels in Sydney with a view of its famous harbour.

Pier One Sydney Harbour

Located right on the point of Walsh's Bay the Pier One is in a great location for walking Sydney, The Rocks and viewing the harbour. The rooms here are a little smaller than other hotels on this list but the décor is beautiful. A mix of traditional Sydney heritage style with a  luxurious fit out makes this a beautiful place to stay, particularly for couples. This hotel is very close to the Harbour bridge so the views are super close up and there's no Opera house views here.
