Sydney hotels with harbour or Opera House views.

This page lists hotels by what the supplier says about their rooms' views, not by what a hotel's marketing says.

Below are the hotels near the harbour where at least one room type is listed with a harbour or Opera House view, best-reviewed first, with a live all-in price for one night.

Guests

Sydney hotels with harbour or Opera House views, with live prices.

Best-reviewed first, one night for 2 adults: Fri 20 Nov – Sat 21 Nov 2026. All-in: GST counted, including any part the hotel collects at check-in.

Prices change with demand; the booking bar above prices any dates. Distances are in a straight line; the walk is longer.

How this list was chosen.

Our supplier lists, for most hotels, the view of each room type, with names such as Harbor View and Opera House View. We take the 4–5★ hotels (rated 8/10 or more on at least 50 reviews) within 3.5 km of the Opera House, look at the room types of the 30 closest to the Opera House, and list a hotel only when at least one names a harbour or Opera House view. The hotels listed are ranked by guest rating weighted by the number of reviews.

Three limits. The supplier does not list views for every hotel, so a hotel can have harbour-view rooms and be missing here. "Bridge view" is left out because the supplier does not say which bridge. And we check only the 30 hotels closest to the Opera House, so a hotel further out with such rooms does not appear.

The price shown is not the view room's price.

The price on each line is the hotel's lowest rate for the night across all its rooms, which may be a room without a view. A view room is a separate room type with its own price. Open the hotel and compare its room types: choose a rate whose room name says harbour or Opera House view.

New Year's Eve.

For the harbour fireworks on New Year's Eve, check each hotel's minimum-stay terms for the night before you compare prices. Our New Year's Eve page lists the hotels closest to Circular Quay and the Opera House for 30 December to 2 January.

Questions.

Which hotels on this list are best reviewed?

Of the hotels we list, the best-reviewed are Shangri-La Sydney (8.5/10, 13,414 reviews), Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel at Circular Quay (8.5/10, 6,396 reviews) and Sir Stamford Circular Quay (8.3/10, 6,441 reviews). We rank by guest rating weighted by the number of reviews, so a high score from a handful of guests does not outrank a slightly lower one from thousands.

How many Sydney hotels have these views?

10 of the 30 hotels closest to the Opera House (among the 4–5★ hotels rated 8/10 or more that we list within 3.5 km of the Opera House) have at least one room type whose view the supplier names as a match. A hotel further out with such rooms is not listed.

What is the cheapest of these hotels?

For the night of Fri 20 Nov – Sat 21 Nov 2026, Rendezvous Hotel Sydney The Rocks is the lowest priced of the 9 listed with rooms, from AUD 447 for two adults, all-in (the hotel's lowest rate, which may not be a room with the view). Prices change with the dates; the booking bar prices any night.

Is a harbour view room more expensive?

Usually a view room is its own room type with its own price, and the "from" price on this page is the hotel's lowest rate across all rooms. Open the hotel and compare the room types to see the view room's price for your dates.
