Little National Hotel Sydney – Hotel Review

From check-in at the self-contained kiosks and unlimited wi-fi to a library on the rooftop, the hotel ticks every business need. Bespoke Joseph Karam lighting and original Katie Carmichael artworks adorn the reception, while large windows fill cosy guest rooms with lots of natural light.

The hotel is nestled between the high-rises of Darling Harbour and Wynyard, right in the heeart of Sydney's CBD. It's about a 25-minute drive to Sydney airport.

What’s near Little National Hotel Sydney?

Proximity to corporate addresses as well as to the thriving Barangaroo precinct makes Little National’s location highly desirable. It’s pretty much all on foot from there. Need to go further afield? Take a two-minute walk to Wynyard Station Interchange for buses and trains or hop on a ferry at Darling Harbour, a short three minutes’ away.

Room types

Luxe, minimalist interiors abound. With 23 rooms on each of the 10 levels, accommodation is compact but comfortable. There is one “Big Room” per floor providing 6sqm of extra space to the 17sqm standard rooms. Inside, an Arms of Morpheus king bed awaits. Test the bed out while sipping on a DeLonghi Nespresso, then wrap yourself up in a Brogo Australia mink robe post Appelles Apothecary shower while deciding to order in or head out.

Restaurants and bars

There’s a gorgeous bar and lounge (exclusive to hotel guests!) on the 11th floor of the hotel, with glittering views of the surrounding skyscrapers. While the food menu is limited to small charcuterie boards, the drinks list is extensive, with local beers, a selection of wines from the Margaret River and piquant cocktails such as Bombay Bramble. If you want to head out, the thriving precinct of Barangaroo is right at your doorstep.

Travel for work

Little National has the business traveller front of mind, with flexible check in, free wi-fi and complimentary printing services.

Gym

You won’t find a spa at the Little National, but you will get a work-out in the 24-hour Hale Technogym.

What you need to know

Every inch of the Little National is premium space. But the real magic is nabbing a table on the edges of the rooftop bar’s balcony and sneaking a peek at Sydney’s waterways to the west as the sun goes down.
