Sussex Hotel, Heritage hotel in Sydney, Australia
The Sussex Hotel is a four-story building at 20 Sussex Street featuring multiple bars and a rooftop garden overlooking the city. The establishment provides both accommodation and dining services within the waterfront district of Sydney.
The building was constructed between 1913 and 1915, replacing an earlier inn that had stood on the waterfront since the 1840s. It emerged as a four-story structure in an area shaped by harbor activity and development.
The hotel reflects its role in Sydney's waterfront community through its location near the former working harbor and how locals and visitors use it as a gathering place today. It remains part of a neighborhood that carries the memory of the city's maritime past.
The hotel sits near Barangaroo Park and public transport options, making it easily accessible to visitors. You can stop by during the day to visit the bars or come back for dining and accommodation in the evening.
A prominent support pillar installed in 1970 during the Western Distributor road project runs through the building, showing how modern infrastructure was integrated with the historic structure. This pillar is a visible reminder of the urban changes that reshaped the neighborhood.
