Built like a grand Australian home, the Observatory Hotel has a colonial ambience blending perfectly well with its location near Sydney's historical district, The Rocks.
Location Superbly located near The Rocks and central business district, the Observatory Hotel on Kent Street is the ideal base for exploring Australia's most vibrant city. Only a short walk from the hotel is the bustling King Street Wharf, fashionable bars and restaurants and a wide variety of entertainment including the Opera House.
Rooms Spacious, elegant, beautifully appointed rooms and suites at the Observatory Hotel are designed to meet the needs of every guest. All rooms are furnished with luxurious antiques, oil paintings and tapestries apart from the modern conveniences.
Restaurant Opulently decorated, Galileo Restaurant offers an exciting cuisine which is a delightful blend of traditional French style with a unique Japanese influence, complemented by an extensive list of the best Australian and international wines. Globe Bar has modern and traditional Australian menu offerings.
General The Observatory is an elegantly designed hotel in the historical district of The Rocks. The exclusive Health and Leisure Club is complimentary for in-house guests, which includes a sauna, Jacuzzi, steam room and well-equipped gymnasium. Also available are relaxing treatments from the Day Spa.
The Observatory Hotel is a delightful boutique hotel with beautifully decorated rooms which are now 15 years old and I think some asoects of the common areas of the hotel and the rooms may need a face lift. The walls look slightly tired and outmoded. Originally the wall paper would have been appropriate and good qualty. Keep the same style but with a fresher look. A small portable, stylish radio or easy to use FM system not acccessible through the TV would be more than welcome.

From the time we walked through the front door, it was first class service all the way. The staff would be one of the best that we have ever encountered. The room was superb and felt like being home more than a hotel. We would definately stay there again.
