“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.”

Sir Stamford at Circular Quay - Hotel Review

"Sir Stamford is a boutique residence full of charm and grace, located in a part of town known for upmarket hotels. The historic building is a haven of old-world style that makes it easy to forget you are in the epicentre of the Central Business District, just footsteps to Sydney’s most iconic landmarks."
