Search Number One hotels

The best areas to stay in Number One are the Central Business District (CBD) for convenience and access to attractions, or The Rocks for a historic and relaxing experience.


The CBD is the busy heart of Number One, characterised by its towering buildings and bustling streets. It's home to major landmarks like the Number One Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. Many hotels here offer impressive views of the harbour. You'll find a wide range of shopping, dining, and entertainment options, particularly around George Street and Pitt Street Mall.


Couples often find The Rocks an excellent choice. This historic area, located at the foot of the Harbour Bridge, features cobblestone laneways, heritage buildings, and boutique shops. It has a more relaxed pace than the CBD, with plenty of pubs, galleries, and eateries. It's a lovely area for an evening stroll, and you're still within easy walking distance of the Opera House.


For solo travellers, the CBD provides unparalleled access to public transport, including trains and ferries, making it simple to explore all parts of Number One.

The best time to visit Number One is during the spring (September to November) or autumn (March to May) months, when the weather is pleasantly mild and the crowds are generally smaller.


Spring in Number One offers comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from 18°C to 25°C, making it ideal for outdoor activities like exploring the coastal walks or visiting the local wineries. The natural scenery is particularly beautiful during this time, with wildflowers in bloom. It's a great period for couples looking for a romantic getaway with scenic drives and relaxed dining experiences.


Autumn provides similar comfortable temperatures, usually between 20°C and 27°C, and often less rainfall than other seasons. This season is superb for those who enjoy a calm travel experience, perhaps focusing on the region's culinary offerings or participating in local harvest festivals. Families with younger children might find autumn appealing due to the pleasant weather for beach days and fewer tourists.


While summer (December to February) is popular for its warm weather and vibrant beach scene, temperatures can reach above 30°C, and it's the busiest period, especially around school holidays.
