The Best Hotels in Bondi, Sydney

Hotel Ravesis

Beautiful Bondi Beach is one of the world's most iconic stretches of sand. Set slightly east of Sydney's bustling heart, this seaside idyll has long been a playground for the region's hip, fun-loving crowd. Surfers, sunbathers and partygoers have flocked to Bondi to see and be seen for decades — and this ever-popular spot has the trendy hotels to match.

Expect golden sands backed by a lively promenade and grassy expanse filled with picnicking families, friends enjoying ice cream, or surfers kicking back after a morning out on the waves. Just across the road are the buzzy cafés, bars and boutiques. Pick up pieces by up-and-coming Australian designers, gather for brunch within sight of the sea, or sip sundowners as day gives way to evening. The Bondi Icebergs Club, a local landmark with swimming pools hewn into the headland, is not to be missed — nor are the famous Bondi Markets. The best hotels in Bondi are within walking distance of the beach, perfect for couples, families and friends seeing to soak up the magic of this corner of Sydney.
