Many of Sydney's best hotels are located in the city center, particularly near Sydney Harbour, which overlooks the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. If you prefer boutique hotels, neighborhoods like Surry Hills and Potts Point are worth considering. Supposing you want to stay by the beach, Sydney’s coastline features a selection of seaside hotels, particularly around Bondi Beach and Coogee.
