Australia is a relatively pricey destination, and as the most popular city for tourism, Sydney is perhaps the most expensive of the lot. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t great value options to be found in the city. These hotels are all comfortable and welcoming, and all benefit from excellent gay-friendly locations in Darlinghurst and Surry Hills. From this position, you’re within walking distance to most of gay Sydney, and an easy train or bus ride to all the major sights.
If you’re willing to splash out, Sydney has some truly outstanding luxury hotels. These range from classically elegant 5-stars to ultra-modern serviced apartments with all the comforts you could need for your stay. Many of the city’s best hotels are located around Hyde Park, which positions them close to the sights around the Harbor and, more importantly, to the Darlinghurst and Surry Hill gayborhood.
Australia is a tolerant and gay-friendly country. Being so, it’s unlikely visitors should experience any issues checking into any hotel in Sydney. The gay-friendly hotels selected above are some of the most booked hotels by gay travelers located in the Darlinghurst neighborhood with the most gay bars, clubs, and saunas.
Gay Hotels Sydney Darlinghurst
The main Sydney gayborhood is centered around the western part of Oxford Street, in the neighborhood of Darlinghurst. This Eastern suburb is a vibrant area filled with bars, cafes, restaurants, and clubs – many of them with rainbow flags proudly waving out front. An often-touted statistic is that 1 in 10 gay men in Sydney lives within two kilometers of Taylor Square at the heart of the gayborhood.
This is a great area to stay in for a number of reasons. The city is large and spread out, so it helps to stay near the gayborhood if you plan to make the most of gay Sydney. Plus, Darlinghurst is a pretty strategic area to stay for general sightseeing. The tourist heart of the city is not far, with sights including the Opera House, Botanic Gardens, and the Museum of Sydney all within a 20-minute bus ride or half-hour walk from Taylor Square.
