Kirketon is an award-winning design hotel in the heart of Darlinghurst, voted one of the coolest boutique hotels in the world by Condé Nast Traveller. You'll be just steps away from the gay nightlife of Oxford Street and the Royal Botanic Garden. Stylish interiors, an award-winning restaurant and warm service make it a popular address for gay guests.
Ovolo Woolloomooloo resides on historic Finger Wharf, just above Sydney Harbour, just a stroll from the gay Darlinghurst district. The playful, design-strong five-star hotel impresses with spacious loft rooms and a relaxed, cosmopolitan atmosphere. A stylish retreat with lots of character and harbour flair.
Gay hotels and gay-friendly accommodation are concentrated in Sydney around Darlinghurst and Surry Hills, separated by Oxford Street with its gay nightlife. If you live here, you have the bars and clubs on foot on your doorstep and still be quickly in the city center, at Hyde Park or at the botanical garden. Several hotels in the district are openly aimed at queer guests or advertise their proximity to the scene, from boutique hotels to larger city hotels with their own restaurants.
But you are not committed to Darlinghurst. Neighbouring Potts Point offers plenty of choice, from chic chain hotels to small lodges, and is just a few minutes' walk from Oxford Street. With its proximity to Central Station and a lively café and restaurant scene, Surry Hills scores. Overall, Sydney is relaxed with queer travelers, so a double room for two men doesn't raise eyebrows anywhere. Which neighborhood suits you depends on what you're up to: Darlinghurst is the most practical for long nights in the scene, and if you're looking for more peace and sightseeing, Potts Point is often the place to be. Plan early if your visit falls around the time of Mardi Gras in late summer, as the houses near Oxford Street fill up quickly. You can find the location and house for your stay with the following selection.
