Frommer's "This is the coziest place to stay in The Rocks, and perhaps in all of Sydney." Full review
Fodor's "For charm, character, and central location, it's hard to beat this ornate Victorian hotel." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A lovely oldfashioned hotel sits above a historic pub, the Fortune of War."
Time Out "With a great location in the middle of the Rocks... the Russell still somehow manages to feel more like a cosy country B&B than a city-centre hotel." Full review
Rough Guide "A small hotel with popular shared-bathroom rooms, plus en-suite options; the priciest have views of Circular Quay."
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Old-world charm meets gentle contemporary styling at this long-standing favourite." Full review
Star Service "In a prized location near The Rocks, amid restored 18th- and 19th-century buildings, this property is a winsome eclectic selection with a blend of traditional and contemporary styles." Full review

Concierge "Sure, it's a Hilton, and hence a magnet for large groups... But a $150 million renovation in 2005 infused this place with a knockout design."
DK Eyewitness "Alongside super chef Luke Mangan’s glass brasserie and New York designer Tony Chi’s Zeta bar, there are luxurious guest rooms and relaxation suites that are divided into Zen-like zones."
Condé Nast Traveler "The Hilton is primarily tailored to the needs of its executive clientele. Every guest room serves up the muted modernism expected of a 577-room, five-star business hotel." Full review
Time Out "Since its refurbishment three years ago, the Hilton has reinstated itself as one of the city’s premier five-star hotels." Full review
Star Service "The large lobby is dominated by an aluminum sculpture coiling up the center of the atrium to the fourth floor. Service is seamless and efficient." Full review
Fodor's "At this landmark hotel in downtown Sydney you enter a spacious, light-filled lobby displaying a stunning four-story sculpture." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Try to contain your glee as you waltz into the deluxe Hilton." Full review
Gayot "This contemporary hotel adds urbane sophistication to the classic Hilton experience."
The Telegraph8.0
"The Hilton is a large property brimming with all the features necessary for a luxe stay in Sydney: a destination-in-itself restaurant, two bars, an executive lounge, pool, gym and spa." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Rising 43 stories above downtown, this glass-and-concrete hotel is centrally located across from the Town Hall railway station." Full review
