Photo of Sir Stamford at Circular Quay

“A grand traditional hotel, housed in a red-brick building from 1890. Think glittering chandeliers & an impressive collection of art & antiques, plus crackling fireplaces & big beds in spacious suites. A swimming pool, restaurant & whisky bar add to the appeal, and the high teas are terrific.”
