“The Russell Boutique Hotel feels steeped in Sydney's history, a place where the city's past and present meet. Its location in The Rocks places you steps away from Circular Quay and the Harbour Bridge, with the added perk of a rooftop view just for guests. What stands out is the personal touch of a family-owned hotel, where the included breakfast and historic pub add to the charm.”
