The 3 Best Hotels for Families in Sydney
1. Pullman Quay Grand Sydney Harbour
Hotel Phone: 9256 4000
The location is superlative: facing Circular Quay (for trains and ferries), it’s a one-minute stroll to the Opera House, and only a little further to the vast Botanical Gardens and historical Rocks area (for cafés). The rooms – called suites – have one or two bedrooms. They feature a fully-equipped kitchenette and lounge/dining area, and the sofa can convert into a double bed for no extra cost for up to two children under 11. All views of the harbor or gardens from the sizeable balconies are excellent. The large indoor swimming pool is great for kids.

2. Novotel Darling Harbour
Hotel Phone: 9288 7180
The choice of family-friendly hotels in the inner city is surprisingly poor. These standard rooms are large enough for two double beds, while an extra single can also be squeezed in, and interconnecting rooms are available. The one and two-bedroom Loft Suites feature a downstairs living room and can easily sleep a family of five. The upside is definitely the location and the pleasant outdoor pool. The floodlit tennis court is a rare attraction.

3. Sebel Manly Beach
Hotel Phone: 9977 8866
Along the quieter end of the esplanade, the Sebel is an excellent choice for families of four to six. It’s spread over two towers, each with an outdoor pool. The Family Rooms contain a queen bed and two single beds. More spacious one and two-bedroom apartments feature a kitchenette, lounge/dining area, and sizeable balcony. A cot can be arranged, and child-minding services are also available. Directly across from an expansive shady beach, the hotel is about 15 minutes on foot along the delightful outdoor pedestrian mall to the ferry terminal.
