A smart, snug, soulful & sophisticated boutique hotel
You’re a savvy soul of this world. You’re too smart to pay top dollar for space you won’t fill, things you won’t use, staff you won’t see. So we’ve designed and built this hotel just for you. It’s everything you need, and nothing you don’t. A well planned, well appointed, well located and well priced Sydney stay experience. A hotel created for you, for right now.
At Aiden Darling Harbour, you do you. It’s your call. You can come at us with wide-eyed wonder, to soak up the cityscapes and landmarks around our breezy harbourside digs, immerse yourself in the local scene, stories and industrial heritage, and discover great coffee, delicious treats and quirky artworks both in and around the hotel. Or you can beeline for your super comfy bed and just sleep soundly through it all.
Multi-skilled hosts are here to help you on your mission, whatever it may be on each occasion. They are your porter, your barista, your wine pourer, your local guide, your executive assistant.
