The Grace Hotel

New South Wales , Australia


NEED TO KNOW

  • Situated in the heart of Sydney's CBD, The Grace Hotel fronts three of Sydney's most prominent streets - York, King and Clarence
  • The award-winning Grace Café serves modern Australian cuisine using fresh seasonal produce
  • A spa, sauna and steam room are located in the top floor recreation centre
  • The hotel has an indoor lap pool
  • Other facilities include bars and lounges and a fitness centre

THE HOTEL
Built by Grace Bros. in the 1920s as a showpiece for their successful retail business, The Grace Hotel has been beautifully restored to its former glory.  It is now one of Sydney's most prominent historical landmarks, a fine example of Art Deco design with a distinguished Neo-Gothic exterior.

All rooms are spacious and modern, with clean contemporary lines in evidence throughout.  The décor is dominated by warm, earthy colours, whilst the furniture is both stylish and comfortable.

The Grace is an ideal base from which to explore Sydney - being only a few minutes walk from Darling Harbour, Cockle Bay and King St. Wharf as well as the best shopping at the Queen Victoria Building David Jones city stores, Pitt St. Mall, and of course Myers in the Sydney Central Plaza. The Rocks, Circular Quay, Harbour Bridge and the iconic Sydney Opera House are all within easy reach.
