Travel + Leisure "Set on Sydney's stunning Bondi Beach, the 12-room Hotel Ravesis has enticing pops of pastel — both on the hotel's façade and interior — that play off the adjacent beach's gold-and-blue palette"
Independent "With unrivalled water views, Ravesis is the suburb’s only beachfront hotel. With a chic white-and-pastel-pink facade and Art Deco windows, there’s a vintage-retro feel to it."

Concierge "Kirketon was once Sydney's, nay, Australia's coolest hotel... The lobby still exudes a raffish air of coolness, and the moody lighting provides a perfectly discreet atmosphere for the occasional celebrity guest."

DK Eyewitness "This boutique hotel is an oasis of style, glamour and comfort in the heart of the vibrant suburb of Darlinghurst."
Time Out "Rooms today come with nice touches such as chocolates and Kevin Murphy toiletries, and the overall design is contemporary minimalist, with rich colours and slick bathrooms with showers." Full review
Star Service "Two blocks north of the edgier, more sophisticated Medusa, on the southern boundary of Kings Cross, this property is more laid-back and better equipped than its sophisticated sibling Diamant Hotel." Full review
Rough Guide "Fashionable place in an excellent location, with beautiful staff, slick service and great restaurants (including Asian ones) and cafés on the doorstep. $149."
Frommer's "Popular among hip, fashionable types, this slightly offbeat boutique hotel in Darlinghurst offers rooms lightly stocked with modernist furniture and custom-made fittings." Full review

Definitely ask for a room away from the main road.
