Choosing Sydney Australia Accommodation For Business & Leisure Travelers

When looking at Sydney Australia accommodation choices, it is helpful to remember how much diversity the city and its suburbs offer. From the commercial buzz in the tall CBD buildings to the luxurious quarters in the Rocks and the sweeping views of Darling Harbour, there's a special place to stay for every different type of traveler. Here's a brief summary of the best accommodation choices and locations in Sydney.

All told, Sydney has over 320 hotels that collectively offer all kinds of rooms and suites for every budget, from cheap to family, convention and airport hotels and luxury resorts. Tourists generally prefer the hotels that are as near to the city centre as possible - this means everything from the CBD to the Central Station, Oxford Street, Darling Harbour and the Rocks District.

This makes it easy to check out the sights and attractions and access public transport. Out of the 200 odd hotels in and around the city centre, there are many which cater to budget travelers. But many backpackers and student groups usually prefer the backpacker hostels in the CBD, Haymarket, Kings Cross and places in the eastern suburbs like Bondi.

Cheapskates who also need free parking may want to give motels on the roads like the Hume Highway which lead into Sydney a try. On the other end, luxury hotels with sweeping views of the Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge can be found on the waterfront. These hotels are mostly located in the Rocks District and Darling Harbour.

Business travelers looking for executive suites and business-friendly facilities and amenities will find plenty of choices in the CBD and near the Convention Centre. Sydney Airport hotels are also good places for this kind of accommodation. So are the ones in the vicinity of the Sydney Tower.

For large groups and families and those looking at an extended stay, a hotel may not be the best or most suitable choice. To accommodate more people at a lower cost with plenty of facilities, Sydney has a large number of serviced apartments and vacation rentals. Facilities will include a full service kitchen, a living area and separate bedrooms.

In addition, there are also a couple more unorthodox options such as camping and renting an RV. It is possible to pitch a tent at Lane Cove. The park even has a train stop and is just a few miles from the city centre. Renting an RV for camping out (it's called a campervan down under), is suitable for travelers considering day trips out of Sydney to the majestic Blue Mountains or the Hunter Valley wine country.

It should be clear by now that Sydney Australia accommodation choices are just as diverse as the city and its people, the economy and the demographics of the visitors. Sydney today is capable of offering hospitality in all its forms to travelers, thanks to the power and hard work of its 4.2 million residents. The only question that visitors need to figure out is which choice is most suitable for their trip.
