Hotel Palisade
Characterful suites and revelry in the Rocks district






Lying above Sydney’s docklands, the 8 suites of this nautically-inspired boutique offer a charming counterpoint to the chic watering hole focus of the address, with murals and old-fashioned fixtures in marble-clad bathrooms imbuing a cohesive theme throughout. On the ground floor, a public house offers salubrious sips and sups for walk-ins, but upstairs, on the fourth and fifth level, the Henry Deane cocktail lounge shines with covetable views of the harbour and out to Bangaroo. Contemporarily bedecked and featuring a number of separate spaces for private get-togethers, glass walled booths and terrace space, its arguably the city's best sundowner spot.
