Pier One Sydney Harbour

Marine-themed property on the water

Housed in a lovingly converted former shipping wharf, this marine-themed hotel is not just by the water, but actually built on it. Guests can gaze down through the glass floor in the lobby, into the gently lapping waves directly below, to fully grasp that concept. The airy interiors are bright and modern, but with heritage touches like original exposed wooden beams and steel girders. Discreetly nestled alongside the towering structure of Sydney's iconic Harbour Bridge, its rooms look across at cheerful Luna Park and the majestic Opera House.
