Pier One

This is one of the best locations for a hotel in the World, in my humble opinion. Located just under Sydney Harbour Bridge the views and location is completely unrivalled in the CBD.

The Pier One Sydney Harbour, built over 100 years ago as a working cargo Wharf and passenger transit point, it is somewhat of a Sydney treasure. Pier One Sydney Harbour is undoubtedly rich in character has been transformed into a modern contemporary hotel.

The view from the rooms are incredible, the bedrooms are stylish yet homely and the breakfast is everything you could want and more (whilst sitting outside on the harbour watching the world go by).

With 189 re-imagined private sanctuaries, with either water or city skyline views, including 18 suites, 4 of which boast incredible balconies over Sydney Harbour and Walsh Bay, Pier One is a timeless blend of heritage architecture with chic luxury modern features.

A stay at a hotel is not complete without the cool, cotton signature bathrobes which invite you to slip into something more comfortable (we did), play some tunes on the iPod/smartphone technology available in every room and soak up one of the most celebrated cityscapes in the world.

We were told that we were welcome at any time of the day or night to select a cuddle buddy from the pillow menu – nice!
