Little Albion

Top choice in Surry Hills & Darlinghurst


This boutique hotel combines an attractive heritage building with a more modern development to great design success. Rooms range from compact 'crash pads' to commodious suites; characterful art in the public spaces leans more towards Albion St's gangster and brothel heritage than this former convent's history. A great honesty-bar area encourages socialising and there's a gorgeous rooftop garden.
