You Can Find Everything You Need At The Grace Hotel Sydney

By Sean Bond


Back in 1930 when the building first opened back in 1930 it was the Grace Brothers Department Store. It wasn't the one that fans of "Are You being Served?" the long running TV Britcom are familiar with. That one was in London and it wasn't real. This one was quite real and it was in Sydney. The lovely art deco building had become quite run down over the years but it was purchased in 1995, renovated and in 1997 reopened as the Grace Hotel Sydney.

Today the Grace Hotel has become every bit the show place its original owners intended it to be. The renovation kept the charm and style of the architecture and decor while the remodeling modernized and updated the building to meet modern standards of comfort and convenience. In addition to comfortable tastefully decorated rooms visitors can enjoy a heated indoor swimming pool, spa sauna and fitness rooms.

The Grace Brothers placed their store where they predicted the retail center of the city would someday be. Today one of the reasons people love to stay at the Grace Hotel is for its location in the midst of all the best shopping in the CBD. It's walking distance from the famous Queen Victoria building to the south and also walking distance to the cosmopolitan Pitt Street Mall to the east.

The Grace Hotel makes an excellent headquarters for family vacations. Famous landmarks such as Sydney Tower and Town Hall are within walking distance. It's also close to Darling Harbour, where Sydney Wildlife World and the Sydney Aquarium are located.

Circular Quay is about a twenty minute walk away to the north. Hyde Park Barracks Museum is just to the west and Pyrmont Bridge is to the east all within walking distance. If you get tired of walking or you want to explore some more distant sights Grace Hotel is a five minute walk from train and bus transportation.

One of the things families with children and other non smokers really like about the Grace Hotel is that it is a smoke-free environment. It's not just a place where you can request a non smoking room that you have to walk through clouds of smoke to get to. And a smoke-free room doesn't just mean that nobody has smoked in it lately. The Grace Hotel is a smoke-free hotel and you will breathe easier because it is.

The Grace Hotel offers a number of services to help make family vacations easier and more enjoyable. Childcare is available. There are laundry facilities on the premises and ironing boards and irons in all the rooms. A concierge can offer help planning activities that will please the children.

Business travelers as well as event planners will appreciate knowing that secretarial services are available as well as fax facilities and internet access. Meeting rooms of appropriate sizes are can be reserved. The hotel caters meetings, conferences and events of all descriptions.

You can make reservations and get information online and when you do remember to check for discounts, packages and special events. You don't want to miss a shoppers weekend or a dinner and theatre package. Ask about off-season specials.
