What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Little National Hotel Sydney packs 230 rooms into a steel-framed tower in the CBD, following Japanese and Scandinavian principles: pale timber, matte-black detailing, uncluttered lines.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set directly above Wynyard Station on Clarence Street, the hotel is a short stroll from Barangaroo's waterfront dining and Circular Quay.
The rooms
Super-king beds stretch wall to wall against floor-to-ceiling windows, framed by pale timber joinery, automated blinds, and walk-in rain showers.
The gym
Olympic weightlifting platforms, squat racks, and Technogym cardio machines connect directly to the hotel's workout app.
Rooftop Lounge and Terrace Bar
The marble bar pours Australian wines and orange espresso martinis, opening onto a planted timber terrace with skyline views.
How it began
Architects Bates Smart built the 12-story steel tower within airspace rights directly above Wynyard Walk on a compact footprint.
