Hotels in The Rocks, Sydney

The Rocks is Sydney's oldest neighbourhood — a compact precinct of sandstone warehouses and Georgian terraces huddled beneath the Harbour Bridge at the northern tip of the CBD. The bridge, the Opera House, the Circular Quay ferry wharves and the Museum of Contemporary Art are all within a five-minute walk; the weekend market fills the cobbled lanes. Tourist-focused and priced accordingly, but the location is simply incomparable: the bridge looms overhead, the harbour glitters on three sides and every ferry and train in Sydney starts from the quay below. It suits first-time visitors and special occasions; nowhere captures Sydney's setting quite like this.

101 hotels within walking distance of The Rocks, in the heart of Sydney, including 83 properties rated 4 stars or higher. The closest is Harbour Rocks by Ode Hotels, about 94m from the centre of the neighbourhood. The nearest major venue is Sydney Cricket Ground (3.8 km), as the crow flies.
