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

The Telegraph8.0
"This triangular sandstone building, shaped like a diminutive Flatiron, was once the home of Australia’s oldest existing newspaper - but the only thing hot off the press today is this five-star hotel’s $12m face lift." Full review
Lonely Planet "The rooms are spacious, if a little generic, with marble bathrooms and all the typical big-hotel comforts." Full review
Time Out "This CBD hotel is now home to Bentley which is a reason to go there in itself, a full health club/spa, conference facilities and 362 guest rooms, all in the heart of the city." Full review
