Have you discovered Sydney’s best kept secret?

Now you can. Gazing across the unrivalled panorama of Sydney Harbour at sunset with our signature Exotic Summer cocktail in one hand, and a camera in the other, this is your opportunity to capture the beauty of Sydney’s icons from atop a unique rooftop at the Holiday Inn Old Sydney in The Rocks.

With sweeping, uninterrupted views of the skyline and overlooking the world’s most beautiful harbour, it comes as a surprise that this hidden gem remains tranquil amongst the bustle of Sydney’s CBD. Perched atop the heritage-listed Holiday Inn Old Sydney, the rare views that this rooftop offers is only one of many charming qualities that is exuded by the hotel.

Set against a backdrop of some Sydney’s oldest sandstone facade buildings, and only a street back from the harbour promenade, Holiday Inn Old Sydney effortlessly combines the old with the new. In an area rich in Australian colonial heritage and culture, you would also naturally expect the hotel to have its own share of history. Constructed in the early 19th century as a dairy farm site, the building has transformed through the years before its reconstruction in 1982 to operate as the heritage-listed hotel you see today.

Fusing the rich historical fabric of the hotel with the elegance of the modern city skyline, the rooftop of Holiday Inn Old Sydney sets the scene for an unforgettable experience that allows you to escape the everyday and unwind with friends, family, and colleagues. Specialising in networking events, milestone celebrations, and end-of-year festivities, our dedicated events team will assist you in creating a memorable event in one of Sydney’s most unique harbourside venues.
