Russell Hotel, The Rocks, Heritage hotel in The Rocks, Australia.
The Russell Hotel is housed in a Victorian building containing 30 individually decorated rooms with antique furnishings, pine dressers, and marble washstands throughout. The property also includes a rooftop garden and various modern amenities alongside these historic elements.
The building was constructed in 1887 as the Port Jackson Hotel and operated until 1923, when it lost its license during the temperance movement. It then transformed into a private hotel and eventually received its current name and updated purpose.
The building displays Queen Anne architectural features with its conical roof and decorative moldings that define The Rocks neighborhood's appearance. Visitors notice these details when walking through the hotel, which sits naturally within the historic streetscape of the area.
The hotel is located on George Street and provides continental breakfast, rooftop garden access, and free Wi-Fi for guests. The location is within walking distance of Circular Quay, the region's main transport hub.
The hotel sits on the site of the former 1788 hospital where surgeon John White treated the first European settlers of the Australian colony. This buried history shapes the location despite its current commercial use.
