Pier One Sydney Harbour

Bliss Beneath the Bridge

Nestled almost directly under the southern pylon of the Harbour Bridge, pier one offers arguably the best views in all directions, with Sydney Harbour on one side and Walsh Bay on the other. On dry land, many of Australia’s most popular cultural landmarks – like the famed opera house and circular quay – are within walking distance of this prime location in the rocks.

The 102-year-old listed building once served as the ferry station for passengers returning to Northern Sydney from the city. An industrial-chic design echoes the hotel's rich harbor-side history, from the two former gantries that now serve as outdoor areas for its suites to the original beams and ironwork incorporated into guest rooms and public areas. Gantry Restaurant boasts a waterside terrace and serves modern Australian cuisine, and its zinc-finished bar is hung with bespoke boat-shaped light fixtures. Guest rooms, with furnishings reminiscent of first-class cabins and bayside terraces, are oases of calm in the heart of this vibrant city.
