Cambridge Hotel

Surry Hills & Darlinghurst


You couldn’t wish for a more conveniently situated hotel for restaurant and bar life than this urban bolt hole. Modern and upbeat, this offers several grades of understated contemporary rooms, many of which have private balconies with city-skyline vistas. Staff are very cheery and welcoming. Downstairs, happening Baccomatto Osteria serves brilliant Italian food, including the hotel breakfast.
