If living amongst historical sandstone buildings, iconic sights and quaint cobbled streets don’t bring out the deep cultural feel of a place rooted in time, nothing else will. The Holiday Inn in Old Sydney offers an ideal way to experience Sydney’s colonial past and its modern architecture all at the same time.
With close proximity to Circular Quay and the surrounding areas of Sydney’s first colony, staying at the Holiday Inn makes exploring the historic Rocks precinct by foot easy and fun. Situated on the first road made by Europeans following their arrival to Sydney Cove in January 1788, the hotel offers great hospitality and a lovely rustic feel to its interiors
Though the rooms are equipped with modern furniture and fixtures, the rest of the hotel oozes in old charm coupled with an amazing 360-degree panorama from their rooftop. What makes their location so perfect is the ability to save on time from getting from one iconic sight to another. If you’re one to get on the Hop-On Hop-Off sight-seeing buses, then the Holiday Inn is conveniently located right opposite bus stop No. 24 on the Hop-on Hop-Off’s red route.
The breath-taking panorama!
