Sydney Boutique Hotel - Description of Victoria Court

Victoria Court, a historic Sydney boutique hotel, is centrally located on quiet, leafy Victoria Street in elegant Potts Point; the heart of Sydney's gastronomic precinct. The hotel is an ideal base from which to explore and do business in Sydney. It is within minutes of the Opera House, the Central Business District, the Harbour, Chinatown and the famous Beaches. Victoria Street is an address much favoured in the history of Sydney. In earlier times, it was the preferred residential choice of some of the city's most influential and wealthy merchant families who lived there because it was so close to the magnificent harbour. Right at its heart stands Victoria Court, whose buildings date from 1881 and retain the gracious ambience of that age, while incorporating all the refinements of a modern, first class establishment.

Guests are offered friendly and personalised service in an informal atmosphere and amidst Victorian charm. Not unexpectedly, no two rooms are alike, and cater to various budgets. Most rooms have marble fireplaces, some have four poster beds and others feature balconies which offer views over Victoria Street, which is classified by the National Trust as a street of historical significance. All rooms have en-suite bathrooms, hairdryers, air-conditioning, colour television, radio-clock, safe, coffee/tea making facilities and direct dial telephone for both local and international calls.

Guests can relax and read the daily papers or browse through books in the fire-placed lounge.
