Be At The Heart Of It All With Sydney Accommodation At The Rocks

The town of Sydney began with a settlement right by the water today known as the Rocks. Sydney accommodation at The Rocks offers views of an amazing city, harbour architecture and the wide rolling sea. Most importantly, find yourself located at the heart of bustling urban life.

The hotel most suitably named is probably Harbour Rocks. Make this your starting off point for all activities around The Rocks and Sydney. During the first day or so, if you need to get over jet lag and accustom your body to a new time zone, stay put in your air conditioned room. View a movie on your large LCD screen or connect with friends via high speed internet until you can finally fall asleep when you should. If you book the Penthouse, a soak in the jacuzzi might help cure insomnia. Wake up to a radio alarm if you worry about sleeping through a day of vacation.

After a good rest you could be ready for the city itself, with its hustle and general vibrancy. You are so close to Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House you could walk. The same goes for a turn around the Contemporary Arts Museum and Circular Quay. Though guests may need to return to their rooms for tea or coffee to keep their strength up, at least it is not far to return before starting your adventure once more.

For lodging that takes you back a century, stay with Australian Heritage Bed and Breakfast. The name gives you some idea of what makes the place so special: part of the history of Sydney, this is a landmark, easily recognisable from its triangular shape and bright paint job. Staying here is like absorbing a part of the past.

Rooms plant guests conveniently close to night life. In fact, just go downstairs. Eat here, have a drink, meet other tourists or friendly locals. A climb to the roof top terrace provides views of the city that might help you to plan for the next day.

Another heritage hotel is the Glenmore. Since the 1920s it has welcomed guests looking for a drink and conversation. Sip beer at the roof top beer garden, another location from which to see Sydney life far below.

Book a room at Shangri-La for a more modern experience. Feel as though you entered an autonomous world, where you can do most things you need to before even taking a tour around the shops and attractions outside. Visit the pastry shop, restaurant and bar, or just buy some souvenirs. Be sure to save some money for the other stores and cafes close to hand.

Business clients will appreciate a number of professional settings. Though some deals are best made over a glass of whiskey at the bar, others benefit from private meeting rooms or a fine meal. Arrange for any postal requirements you might have including courier service while working away from home. Let staff handle airport transportation, even give you a lift via the handy city shuttle, to help get you to your next flight or engagement promptly.
