This is a wonderful old, elegant building equipped with all the necessary modern conveniences (except no elevators/lifts which was no problem for us). The continental breakfast was lovely. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location is perfect for getting around town. It is just one block from stop 4 on Skybus for getting to and from the airport. After that we walked everywhere. It was just 10-15 minutes or less to everything we needed including restaurants, bars, the waterfront, shopping, and several museums. We would definitely stay here again!

Best boutique hotel in town

If I could give this boutique hotel SIX stars, I would. The personal touch was everywhere. Holly, managing the front reception on my arrival, was amazing. She helped me sort out connections to a few things, as my phone did not working Australia due to the shut down of the 3G network. Asking questions, she was able to offer suggestions for meals and things to see and do. The in luded breakfast was a treat and perfect way to start the day. The decor is stunning in the public rooms. The guest rooms are a bit dated, and the water temperature and pressure remind me of England. But overall, the locationand the atmosphere are simply divine.

This property is a hidden gem! Everything from the location, staff, complimentary breakfast and comfort of the property exceeded my expectations. I reserved stays here pre and post trip for an organized tour when the tour meeting point hotel was non-responsive to my requests for accommodation reservations. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Not only was The Macquarie less expensive than the chain hotel, the staff went above and beyond to anticipate any needs I may have as a solo traveler, stored luggage for me while on tour and made wonderful recommendations for dinner. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!
