The Russell Boutique Hotel - A heritage landmark with Sydney's oldest pub and rooftop garden views

Located in The Rocks district, The Russell Boutique Hotel incorporates the Fortune of War, Sydney's oldest licensed establishment dating back to 1828. This historic Sydney hotel features air-conditioned rooms equipped with ceiling fans, TVs, tea/coffee facilities, bathrobes, and minibars. Three dining venues occupy the ground floor: The Push cocktail bar, Fortune of War pub, and First Fleet Bistro. The private rooftop garden offers views toward Circular Quay, while a lounge area includes a balcony overlooking George Street and a library with tourist guides. A complimentary continental breakfast is served at The Russell Wine Bar. Recent renovations added an elevator for guest convenience. The property sits within walking distance to acclaimed restaurants and theaters, with Circular Quay's ferry terminal providing access to Manly and Watson Bay.
