Nautical-themed luxury constructed atop the bay in The Rocks
It is hard to get closer to the spectacular Sydney bay than where Sebel Peir One sits. This nautical-themed hotel is constructed atop the water and hugs the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Well-appointed rooms offer giant telescopes for viewing the ships setting out to the Pacific. Heritage quarters allow guests to look out over the city. The hotel pontoon shuttles guests around town and the formidable bay-front restaurant and bar lure locals and tourists for authentic Australian cuisine. 
Highlights
  • Pontoon boat shuttle for hotel guests
  • Luxurious nautical-themed quarters with telescopes and spectacular views
  • View the sunset from Front Restaurant
Rooms

Federation-style historic architecture morphs with executive décor in the hotel's 161 nautical-themed rooms. Waterview rooms offer a bang for your buck with massive windows offering vistas to Walsh Bay. All quarters feature original wood and iron from the pier, plus comfortable white topped beds and spacious bathrooms, many including Jacuzzi tubs and marble vanities. Business travelers make use of the mahogany work desk to connect to Wi-Fi or high-speed Internet (fees apply).

Features

Cruise around town in the private hotel pontoon, then return for a sunset dinner of Moreton bay bugs, barramundi or kingfish risotto at Front Restaurant (open for breakfast, lunch and dinner). Late into the evening the Front Bar, with a floodlit glass floor offers Sex in the City style cocktails. The hotel has a fitness center onsite and Wi-Fi is available (fees apply).

Excellent hotel!

We had a great time at the Sebel Pier One. It's conveniently located. They even gave us a free honeymoon bottle of champagne for our room! :)

Great location, within walking

Great location, within walking distance of The Rocks heritage area and Sydney Harbour and I particularly loved the overall "pier" feel of the surroundings. Attentive service, especially when the restaurant was fully booked, we were quickly offered alternatives to dine. The only thing that they may need to look at is installing a ramp/providing better access for disabled guests or guests with young children.

Very nicely located - if I go

Very nicely located - if I go to Sydney for a holiday, I would seriously consider staying here. Room and bathroom were nice. Good bed and decent pillows Only a few annoyances - curtains not completely blockout. The vacuum toilet may save water, but it is really loud, and scared the beejeebus out of me the first (and second) time I used it. The lifts are too small (I was there for a seminar and had to go up and down a lot), and the touch buttons can be accidentally activated by an elbow or bottom! The fire stairs should clearly state you can't enter another floor from them. They only lead to the ground, which is fine.

A very well located hotel and

A very well located hotel and excellent sound proofing on rooms. There is a wonderful selection of hip restaurants nearby on the wharf area next to the hotel. All-day internet was available at a moderate tarriff - not so for a bottle of hotel mineral water. All in all a good hotel for Sydney sightseeing.
