A Georgian townhouse transformed into a 10-suite boutique hotel, a stone's throw from Kings Cross and the harbour.
Spicers Potts Point
From
216.125 €
“Only 10 suites in an 1880 house, 9.6/10 rating on 297 reviews, guesthouse vibe rather than palace.”
Spicers Potts Point occupies a Victorian house on Victoria Street, in the residential neighbourhood overlooking Woolloomooloo. We are far from the 200-room palace: 10 suites, personalised service, private house atmosphere. The interiors blend period mouldings, blonde parquet, contemporary Australian furniture, white marble bathrooms. From 216 € a night, which positions the address as an intimate alternative to the big CBD hotels. The Potts Point neighbourhood remains calm, tree-lined, with nearby cafés and restaurants two minutes away. We recommend for a discreet stay, without liveried concierge or monumental lobby. Ideal if seeking residential Sydney rather than postcard version 😌
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend Spicers Potts Point to couples fleeing impersonal large hotels and seeking a human-scale address. It's a choice for travellers aged 35 and over, romantic weekends, discreet anniversaries, returns from Darlinghurst dinners without crossing the whole city. Families will find the offering too intimate, the address remains designed for adults seeking calm.
The building
Architecture and interiors
The house dates from 1880, late Victorian era, typical Sydney sandstone façade of the neighbourhood. Interiors renovated in a contemporary Australian spirit: mouldings preserved, light parquet, neutral linen and off-white palette. The 10 suites occupy two floors, each different, between 30 and 50 m² depending on configuration. Ceiling height 3.20 m, original sash windows, bathrooms redone in white marble and chrome fittings.
