Where to Stay
Sydney Contemporary week is one of the best excuses to visit Sydney, or to see your own city from a different perspective.
Our hotel partners offer exclusive rates for Fair visitors, whether you’re travelling in or simply making a night of it. With rooms filling quickly during Fair week, we recommend booking early.
Ace Hotel Sydney
Ace Hotel Sydney is a sweeping reimagination of a historical building, nestled in the vibrant neighbourhood of Surry Hills, and close to all that Sydney has to offer. Ace Sydney’s communal spaces, guest rooms and dining venues are a deep homage to Australia’s boundless creativity, and the hotel experience was awarded a 2025 MICHELIN Key. The hotel is designed with careful consideration by Flack Studio, drawing inspiration from architect Robin Boyd’s paradigm-shifting book, The Australian Ugliness, the paintings of Indigenous Australian artist Albert Namatjira and the building site’s legacy of pottery and ceramic creation. Inside the hotel, find an extensive art program that includes original pieces by celebrated Australian artists, including Nadia Hernandez, Nell, Julia Gutman, Jason Phu and more.
Rising 18 stories, Ace Hotel Sydney includes a lobby bar, ground-floor restaurant and laneway cafe, as well as award-winning restaurant and bar Kiln, currently helmed by Culinary Director Isobel Whelan-Little, and offering a singular Sydney dining experience.
