Katoomba itself is a time warp and this hotel is so quirky and so different and a great experience . It is unique . On its own . After cookie cutter sameness of so many modern hotels this place stands out

The Carrington is a beautiful old hotel that has seen better days. It is getting worn out. You have to battle the lift to get on it, the floors and stairs creak ominously. We booked dinner reservations for their lovely dining room but they were not necessary-only 6 other people were seated/eating while we were there. The location may have something to do with this. It is my understanding that Katoomba was once a lovely town, but it also has seen better days. My suggestion is to stay and visit nearby Laura.
