What We Love
Welcome to The Crown, where heritage characters meet contemporary cool in Sydney’s most creative postcode. This restored building houses six individually designed apartments that celebrate the neighbourhood's artistic soul while providing all the modern luxuries today's travellers crave. Each space tells its own story through carefully curated interiors featuring warm timber floors, brass accents, and neutral palettes that create an atmosphere of relaxed elegance.
The accommodation spans over three levels, offering everything from intimate studios perfect for solo stays to spacious one-bedroom retreats ideal for couples or business travellers. Whether you're here for a weekend escape or an extended corporate stay, each apartment provides a sanctuary where you can unwind after exploring everything this dynamic neighbourhood has to offer.
The cleverly designed ground-floor studio maximises every square metre in the building's quiet middle section, away from street activity yet perfectly positioned for neighbourhood adventures. A versatile double sofa bed transforms from day lounge to comfortable sleeping quarters, while the compact kitchenette includes a two-plate electric hob, small fridge-freezer, microwave, kettle, and toaster. With a walk-in shower, flat-screen TV, iron and ironing board, plus a portable cooling and heating fan, this unit delivers practical comfort ideal for solo professionals or couples seeking a Sydney base. Though this unit has no in-room laundry, a laundromat is conveniently nearby.
Surry Hills pulses with creative energy where art galleries rub shoulders with fashion-forward boutique. Every corner offers something to discover, from street art that transforms walls into outdoor galleries to cosy cafes serving up perfectly crafted espressos. Your Crown Street address places you perfectly between Sydney's glittering harbour and the rolling green spaces that provide urban escape when concrete jungle fatigue sets in. The CBD's corporate energy beckons just 2 kilometres north, a pleasant 20-minute walk through leafy streets or a quick 10-minute bus journey. The famous Bondi Beach lies just 20 minutes away by bus or car, while Coogee's sandy shores offer an appealing coastal escape. Multiple transport options keep you connected: Central Station sits nearby for interstate rail connections, and bus routes along Crown Street, Cleveland Street, and Oxford Street link you effortlessly to every corner of Sydney.

The Neighbourhood
- Begin your Surry Hills adventure by exploring independent galleries featuring emerging Australian artists alongside vintage boutiques with one-of-a-kind finds. Grab a coffee at four ate five, where the local creative community gathers for their daily ritual, before browsing through vintage clothing stores that highlights Sydney’s evolving fashion style.
- Surry Hills has earned its reputation as Sydney's premier dining precinct, with Crown Street at the centre of it all. Start with Vietnamese perfection at Khoi's, where traditional flavours transport you straight to Saigon's bustling energy. Giuls delivers Italian authenticity with handmade pasta that rivals Rome's finest trattorias. For fine dining options, choose between refined Japanese dining at Ito or modern American flavours at Amorica, both offering standout menus with exceptional services for an intimate night.
- As sunset approaches, Surry Hills transforms into Sydney's premier nightlife destination, with intimate venues scattered throughout the neighbourhood's tree-lined streets. Kickstart your night out at Lil Darlin Surry Hills, where craft cocktails and natural wines flow in a laid-back setting. Goros offers Japanese-inspired drinks and small plates in an atmosphere that feels like discovering Tokyo's hidden gems, while Bar Copains brings French bistro culture to Sydney with an impressive wine selection.
- Weekend mornings call for refreshing runs through Prince Alfred Park, where tree-lined paths and grassy spaces offer urban oasis moments just steps from your door. When retail therapy beckons, the CBD's shopping precincts offer everything from flagship stores along Pitt Street Mall to boutique treasures in heritage arcades. For the ultimate Sydney weekend fix, venture to Bondi Beach where golden sands meet rolling surf, perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or simply soaking up that essential coastal energy.
