I am well-versed in the area. I have spent a lot of time over my years in North Sydney. Great pubs, places to eat and hotels as well as being well connected to the city. Trains, ferries and busses are all great options that make North Sydney a great base for a Sydney trip.
It is also home to Luna Park which is a great thing to do in North Sydney if it interests you.

I have kept my hotel list simple.
Each of these North Sydney hotels is my favourite for something it offers a guest that stays there.
View Sydney (8.6 Booking.com Review Score)
I will start with this great hotel in North Sydney as I have stayed here and so have family and friends. Granted my stay was back when it was called the North Sydney Harbourview Hotel.
I can confirm it does boast a great view of Sydney Harbour looking back towards the beautiful Sydney city skyline.

Vibe Hotel North Sydney (8.3 Booking.com Review Score)
Let's keep the vibes high on our hotel search. The outdoor pool is a highlight that jumps out to me at this hotel. What a luxury to swim in a pool like that at your North Sydney hotel. If the best Sydney hotel pools are what you're looking for, there may be some elevated options over the bridge.
Stay at Vibe Hotel for the best hotel pool in North Sydney.
Meriton Suites North Sydney (8.7 Booking.com Review Score)
I am convinced by the consistency of all the Meriton Suites properties I have stayed at this is one of the best places to stay in North Sydney. Not the finest or most elite hotel brand but for what they offer, they do it well. The option to use the kitchen and in-room laundry washing machine is always such a luxurious feature for some. To others it is essential.
That view back down the expressway, the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Harbour and the city skyline is really nice indeed.
It is worth noting that out of the hotels in this article, this property is quite often the cheapest hotel for some room and suite types.
Best apartments in North Sydney that have a balcony and suites with kitchens.
Rydges North Sydney (8.3 Booking.com Review Score)
This hotel has only just finished a complete refurbishment and I think it has turned out beautifully. I get great energy from the design, warmth, and naturally golden and light colour palette of this hotel. That alone seems a valid enough reason Rydges is one of the best hotels in North Sydney.
Stay here if you love staying in hotels that have just been refurbished and freshened up.
Quest North Sydney(9.0 Booking.com Review Score)
The highest and best-reviewed hotel in North Sydney. A great location and has a steam room and sauna. May be woth a trip to see for myself. These equipt apartments are great if you are thinking of fixing up some of your own meals.
Stay here if you are looking to book a stay in a great all-rounder hotel in North Sydney.
Citadines Walker North Sydney (8.6 Booking.com Review Score)
This is the newest hotel in North Sydney and has already marked itself as one of my favourites. Both the common areas and rooms are fresh and inviting.
I also am getting a touch of design intrigue. I am referring the the flowy blue ribbon reception. What do you see or feel when you see it or arrive at Citadines? A point of difference for this 252-key North Sydney Hotel.
Stay at Citadines for the newest hotel in North Sydney.
Heritage Home with Modern Comforts and Great Location (10 Booking.com Review Score)
If you are looking to stay in a house and looking for entire homes in North Sydney for your Sydney holiday I have a great option to look at for your trip. This heritage-designed 3-bedroom home is a balance between comfort and luxury. Great for a family trip or friends looking to have their own space to share some memory making time.
Its location is verging more on Crows Nest but thats not a good or bad thing. Crows Nest has a great range of places to eat and drink too.
Consider a stay here if you are looking to book an entire home in North Sydney.
