The Grace Hotel

The Grace Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I love this hotel and it remains a favourite. It is classy but understated. Everything is efficient. The location is brilliant as very central and easy to get anywhere from its position as close to Town Hall station and trams to Circular Quay. Plenty of places to eat nearby but for a casual easy drink and meal the Italian cafe restaurant located in the hotel is great with good staff, and a casual vibe. I couldn’t fault anything and our room was quiet with a pleasant tree outlook ."
