Russell Hotel, The Rocks, Heritage hotel in The Rocks, Australia.

The Russell Hotel occupies a Victorian building with 30 individually decorated rooms featuring antique furnishings, pine dressers, and marble washstands throughout the property.

Built in 1887 as the Port Jackson Hotel, the establishment operated until 1923 when it lost its license during the temperance movement and transformed into a private hotel.

The building represents the Queen Anne architectural style with its conical roof and decorative moldings, contributing to The Rocks district architectural heritage.

Located at 143 George Street, the hotel provides continental breakfast, rooftop garden access, free Wi-Fi, and maintains a walking distance to Circular Quay transportation hub.

The property stands on the former site of the 1788 convict hospital, where surgeon John White treated the first European settlers of the Australian colony.
