Sydney is widely recognized for being one of Australia's primary areas of beautiful architecture, both of the heritage variety and that which is distinctly contemporary. Typically, these luxurious hotels offer visitors all the perquisites of grandness and design excellence which characterize many aspects of local life.

It is here that many of the grandest feats of modern architecture can be found and it has more skyscrapers than any other street in the country. The best hotels in Sydney and those claiming to be among its finest are generally to be found on George Street or nearby.

Aside from the generous views, The Rocks has a wealth of added enticements to distract and delight during the day and into the night. Once a notorious place filled with rowdy sailors and all the colorful activities which are associated with the early settlement, it retains a degree of Bohemian charm. Although many of the old buildings were destroyed in the early 20th century to pave the way for redevelopment, considerable effort was latterly put into preserving the few beautiful examples of heritage architecture which remain. It is now a place of eclectic architecture and a colorful mix of people who find themselves coming to enjoy the rich melange of vibrant nightlife, market shopping and good restaurants.
