Minimalist design and plush comforts in posh Surry Hills
After a makeover, the Sebel Surry Hills Hotel looks as if it just leapt from the pages of a design magazine. Decidedly hip, rooms, public spaces and the hotel's popular restaurants are crowded with the beautiful and design-savvy. The posh address in Surry Hills affords easy access to shopping, entertainment and public transport. Yet you might find it hard to leave--relaxing beds, plentiful amenities and abundant support for business travelers draw repeat customers. 
Highlights
  • Townhouse Bar and Restaurant's lively beer garden
  • Indoor heated pool, spa and sauna
  • Sleek design
  • Located in one of Sydney's hippest neighborhoods
Rooms

The hotel's 271 contemporary rooms feature signature cloud beds, draped in cream spreads, black and tan throws and sage pillows. White walls too crisp for art are contrasted by black-checkered carpet and noir wood furniture, plus gray pullout sofas. The effect is spare but classy. Rooms also feature large LCD TVs, white tiled bathrooms and Wi-Fi (fees apply).

Features

Sydney scenesters congregate at the Townhouse Bar and Restaurant, sipping brews in the beer garden and sampling fresh pub grub in the dining room from noon until late. Breakfast is served daily in Albies Restaurant and Bar, but the chef's real skills shine at dinner (Monday-Saturday). Order sustainable cuisine like confit duck leg, duck and foie gras sausage, beetroot and lentils. 

The hotel also features a full fitness center, indoor heated lap pool, sauna, spa, parking (fees apply) and high-speed Internet access (fees apply).

Great location and excellent staff

The location was great, close to the train station and to public buses. The concierge, [...], was amazing and very helpful as were the rest of the staff members. The rooms were nice sized and neatly kept. The pool was satisfactory but the hot tub and sauna were not hot. The hot tub felt like tepid bath water.

Great hotel... helpful concierge!

We only spent 1 night here but wished we'd stayed longer. Newly renovated, very clean, very safe hotel. The concierge was very helpful when we checked in and arranged out airport transportation quickly and efficiently for the next morning. Close to George St., Darling Harbor and the train station. It's also close to the free downtown shuttle, too, but check the schedule because they stop early. Very "American" hotel with our expected amenities. Would be a great place to acclimate to the big time change.

The staff made a special effort

The staff made a special effort to make us feel welcome. The only thing that could possibly be improved were the espresso coffees that we ordered. (We had espresso coffees in Quay West in Brisbane and they were better.) I think that the coffee and the way it was made in Sydney both need improvement. Otherwise everything was great. We loved the gluten free bread.

The hotel was very nice, although i was expecting a little more for the few fish floating under glass in the floor. The bed and pillows weren't very comfortable at all which was the only downfall.

Sebel Surrey Hills Hotel

We stayed at the Sebel Surrey Hills for one night before flying back to the U.S. It is a perfect location as it is an easy walk (even with suitcases) from the Central Train station. We took the train from the airport one afternoon and back to the airport the next afternoon. The hotel is within walking distance of Darling Harbor, China Town, and Circular Quay. It is around the corner from the 555 bus line which is a free bus that circulates through the central business district including Circular Quay. The service was pleasant, the rooms were spotless and roomy. We did not use the pool or fitness center. I highly recommend this hotel.
