The Ultimo features modern accommodation in the vibrant Chinatown district. Constructed in 1911 as a key component in Haymarket’s transition to become Sydney’s fresh fruit market, the heritage-listed building is a reminder of Sydney’s bustling and vibrant commercial heritage which continues to this day. The Ultimo is just a 3-minute walk from bus and light rail stops. It is only a 5-minute walk from the Central Train Station, providing easy access to all of Sydney’s attractions After an extensive refurbishment in 2016, the hotel features 95 rooms across seven categories from cozy Ultimo single rooms to spacious Ultimo Courtyard rooms. (The Courtyard room type also welcomes your furry friends!). We provide complimentary WiFi, and a barista coffee station in the lobby to round up your stay at The Ultimo Hotel in Sydney’s vibrant Chinatown neighborhood.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.2 for a two-person trip.

    We stayed to have a good location for the Taylor Swift concert and it was great. We loved how the hotel also decorated communal areas with Taylor Swift pictures and the life size cut out and played her music. It made the stay even more special...

    Good location - about 10mins walk from Central station (the station which the airport rail stops at and many other accessible lines). It’s about 15mins train ride from airport to Central station. Also, it’s between two light rail stops - Haymarket...
