The Russell Boutique Hotel, located at 143A George St in The Rocks, Sydney, offers rooms with air conditioning, ceiling fans, and opening windows. Each room includes a television, tea and coffee making facilities, bathrobes, a hairdryer, a minibar, and an iron with ironing board. Room types include Economy Single (small room with a single bed, no bathroom), Classic King/Twin (king bed or two single beds with ensuite bathroom), and Superior Rooms (king-sized bed with ensuite). Certain rooms provide views of George Street and First Fleet Park. The Russell room features two rooms with a separate sitting area and accommodates a third person on a sofa bed. All rooms provide a safe. The hotel is currently undergoing renovations and some rooms may look slightly different once the renovations are complete.

Dining: Bars and Bistro

The Russell Boutique Hotel features three bar and dining options: The Push (a chic cocktail bar), The Fortune of War (Sydney's Oldest Pub dating back to 1828), and the First Fleet Bistro. A complimentary continental breakfast of fruit, toast, cereals, and yogurt is offered in the mornings at The Push. The Fortune of War has retained its old-world charm. Bistro 1828 (soon-to-open) provides table service for a relaxed meal. Guests can bring their own wine. The Russell Wine Bar on the ground floor is where guests enjoy a complimentary continental breakfast each morning.

Leisure: Rooftop and Relaxation

Guests have access to a private rooftop area with views of The Rocks and the Harbour Bridge. A lounge area features a balcony overlooking George Street, along with a library containing books, magazines, and tourist guides. The Rooftop area and Sitting Room of the hotel are for guest use only and not open to the public. They are unmonitored areas therefore use of these spaces is strictly at the risk of the guest.

“This family-owned boutique hotel, one of the oldest in Sydney, stands out for its historical charm in The Rocks. I appreciate its blend of heritage design with modern comforts, not to mention the rooftop area with views of Circular Quay. The complimentary breakfast and on-site pub add to its appeal.”
