Chic Accommodation Options in Sydney

When visiting a city as complex and fun as Sydney, it’s best to stay out of big hotels and look for some other options. Smaller-sized boutique hotels are an excellent choice for any traveler looking for a place to stay.

These hotels are homey, cozy, and are often suited to any taste or budget. Furthermore, they’re known for going above and beyond in elevating the overnight experience with unrivaled attention to detail and specialized service.

But wait, I don’t want to stay in a hotel?

No one said that you have to! Sydney is big, and Sydney is exciting. If you’re a person who prefers renting a place during your stay, there are numerous options for that.

Some people rent their apartments directly, and some turn to agencies for Airbnb property management in Sydney to put their properties on the market. Using Airbnb is recommended since it is still the safest way of finding an apartment and booking it.

Now, let’s take a look at some of the best cheap but chic accommodations that you can find in Sydney.

This 42-story building is oddly intimate and is perfect for a modern traveler who wants to make a statement. It has everything that a person might need: Pool, Wi-Fi, Sauna, Fitness center, Bar Room and Laundry service.

Even though Fraser Suites does not offer specialized services like five-star hotels, the glamorous rooms and amazing views make this hotel one of the best in Sydney. It’s also family friendly, so feel free to take your kids with you – If you want to spoil them.

Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel

The Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel has been East Sydney’s icon for a long time, and for a good reason. If you plan to drink and party while you’re in Sydney, then look no further. In the heart of this recently revamped place is a pub, with lots of mismatched tables that just add to the charm of this hotel.

This hotel has that beachside charm you’ve only seen in the movies, but that doesn’t mean that its rooms are not luxurious. Every room is equipped with an AC device and a flat screen TV which you’ll probably use only when the hangovers kick in. If you’re interested in food, alcohol, and beaches, forget about all other hotels and make Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel your home while you’re in Australia.

Contemporary Hotels

Those who value their privacy above all else should take a good look at Contemporary Hotels. Luxurious and cozy homes are just a couple of clicks away.
