Ace Hotel Sydney

Ace Hotel Sydney

Three kilometres from Sydney's centre, in Surry Hills, Ace Hotel Sydney rises eighteen floors above streets that lead to the Haymarket Library, the Rail Heritage Centre and the Golden Water Mouth fountain. Opened in 2023, the 255-room hotel carries the design-forward stamp the Ace name built its reputation on, but here it's grounded in local work: Flack Studio Sydney curates the art program, so the lobby and corridors read like a rotating collection rather than a template shipped in from Brooklyn or Palm Springs. Guests eat at LOAM or Kiln, or take coffee in a lobby stocked with a library instead of a gift shop. Rooms range from a Small Queen with mini bar and bathrobe to a 527-square-foot Standard Double Suite, though none of the standard categories list a view, so ask before booking if daylight matters. There's a gym for anyone keeping a routine on the road, a conference hall for the ones who aren't fully off the clock, and a policy that welcomes dogs, provided you're ready for a 120 AUD pet deposit on top of the standard 300 AUD room deposit. Parking isn't on-site: expect to pay 50 AUD a day nearby, which suits people arriving by train or on foot more than anyone who drove in. This isn't a hotel for guests chasing hushed, old-world formality; it's for people who want a stay that feels like it belongs to the block it sits on, art program included. Wheelchair access reaches the restaurant and common areas, and the desk staff work across several languages. The building holds its personality without needing to announce it. Ace Hotel Sydney sits three kilometres from the centre in Surry Hills, eighteen floors built in 2023 with Flack Studio's rotating art program in the lobby. It suits design-hotel regulars and dog owners willing to pay the pet deposit, less so drivers, since parking costs 50 AUD daily.
