HARBOUR ROCKS BY ODE HOTELS, Sydney

Harbour Rocks By Ode Hotels - A 5-star heritage boutique hotel in The Rocks with Middle Eastern dining and historic architecture

Located in the heart of The Rocks precinct, this intimate Sydney hotel occupies a heritage building that has stood for over a century. The 59-room Harbour Rocks By Ode Hotels maintains its original structure while offering modern amenities including 32-inch LCD TVs, minibars, and work desks in each room. Heritage rooms feature original 1870s worker's cottage layouts, with select units containing ornamental fireplaces and sitting areas. The property houses multiple dining venues, including Tayim restaurant serving Middle Eastern cuisine by Executive Chef Leron Ben Avraham, and Creperie Suzette, a vintage-inspired French establishment with authentic Parisian crepe hot plates. Eric's Bar stocks boutique wines from global vineyards, while the Garden Terrace provides outdoor dining space.
