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

The Russell Hotel occupies a three-storey sandstone building at 143 George Street, built in 1887 and listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register. Its facade carries Queen Anne detailing, including a conical roof and decorative mouldings. The upper floors hold 30 individually decorated rooms with antique furnishings, pine dressers and marble washstands, and a rooftop garden sits above the George Street frontage.

The site was part of the colony's first hospital, opened in 1788 under surgeon John White, and later a government quarry. Samuel Terry, the "Botany Bay Rothschild", built a terrace at 139–143 George Street in the mid-1820s; by 1845 it housed the Patent Slip Tavern. The current 1887 building was the Port Jackson Hotel until 1923, then the Russell Private Hotel from 1933.

The name Russell Hotel dates from 1933, when the upper floors began taking private guests after the licence was lost in 1923. The ground floor has been let separately ever since, first as a cafe for several decades and most recently as a restaurant and bar, so the building's two halves have long had different lives.

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.

Before the hotel, this was the colony's first hospital site: opened in 1788 under surgeon John White, it received 500 sick convicts with the Second Fleet alone, and a portable hospital shipped from England was used from 1790. The land later became a government quarry whose sandstone built Governor Macquarie's Sydney.
