The Observatory Hotel ~ an Orient-Express Hotel ~ is located in the historical "Rocks" district of the city, and close to the vibrant new entertainment and dining areas of Cockle Bay and King Street Wharf.

The deluxe multi-award winning Observatory Hotel has built its outstanding reputation on a combination of personalized service, exceptional facilities and faultless professionalism.

The hotel is reminiscent of a grand 19th Century Australian home, luxuriously furnished with antiques, original oil paintings and fine tapestries.

The hotel's fine dining restaurant, Galileo, is a leader in Sydney.

The Observatory has a Day Spa and Health Club located in the quietest part of the hotel. It provides a sanctuary from the busy pressures of the day.

Each of the 96 guest rooms has a CD player, individual video, and luxurious bathrooms, while either colonial style sash windows or period balconies circulate fresh air and command charming views of Observatory Hill or historic Walsh Bay in Sydney Harbour.

And, accommodation rooms, each individually decorated, combine the finest in décor and comfort with all the amenities that travelers expect today.

Particularly for the business traveler is the new Broadband Internet and wireless access.

This is not only available in guestrooms, but it is available in the Globe Bar, Galileo Restaurant and conference rooms. You're never far from your family, or office, and can even surf the net whilst having lunch.

The Observatory Hotel is located approximately 12 kilometers drive from the Sydney Airport.
