A warm welcome to the
ROYAL HOTEL
Established since 1875
British Heritage Hotel Sydney

Historic Boutique Hotel
Sydney's best kept secret!


Dear guests,
I'm Carmen and we may likely meet during your stay since I spend a lot of time here at the Royal Hotel. It is the beloved home of two pets; a little toy poodle Baby Rango and Billy Bean the Siamese cat.



The Royal Hotel has been in our family for half a century. Before my great aunt Irene acquired it, the hotel had belonged to the Heron family which cared for it for two generations.

Come enjoy our wonderful vintage setting, a place steeped in history
with a timeless decor and a homely feel.

A proprety from the Victorian Era...
In fact, it is since 1795 that we arrived here from crossing the ocean, our boat was loaded with materials to build the hotel...
When in those days there was no electricity around here, nor running water, and also no cars. A stable for horses was a must, and newcomers would arrive by boats just a steep down the hotel.
Through the years, the hotel had many renovations and beautifully done upgrades.

We have been hosting guests for over 150 years...
And then in 1875...
It is quite rare nowadays to cross paths with a property which is rooted straight from British Royalty, and it also rightfully belonged to our former Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald.
Between his two terms he was living here, at the heart of Sydney, while he was involved with the beginnings of the Trans-Canadian railway project.
Welcome to the Royal Hotel, a cute little Inn stepped in history since the 1800’s.
