57 Hotel

57 Hotel is a 92-room boutique stay in the middle of Surry Hills, Sydney, with a design concept drawn from New York’s Studio 54 and the luxe, expressive style of the 1970s. Its interiors are described as eclectic and quirky, while the rooms focus on contemporary practicality, with luxurious bedding and features intended to make a stay comfortable. Across the room range, the listed amenities include televisions, overhead rain showers, complimentary amenities, personal safes, cosmetic mirrors, hairdryers and ironing boards.

The hotel’s 57 Single is designed as a compact 13-square-metre room for solo travellers and overnight stays. It includes an ensuite with an overhead rain shower, a high-definition television and high-speed wireless internet, alongside the hotel’s signature amenities. That makes it a practical option for guests who plan to spend much of their time exploring Surry Hills or the wider city, as well as for business travellers looking for a straightforward base.

A number of useful inclusions are centred on the lobby and guest rooms. Complimentary Grab'n'Go morning bites are available every day from 7am to 10am, with breakfast pastries, muesli bars and fruit. Guests can also use complimentary Wi-Fi from check-in, a 24-hour espresso bar offering Nespresso coffee and tea, and the in-room 57 landline for free local calls. These touches give the hotel a convenient, low-fuss feel without suggesting a full-service dining venue.

Location is a major part of the appeal. The hotel says it is close to some of Surry Hills’ popular eateries and bars, while guest feedback on the site also describes it as an easy short walk from Central Station, including for travellers with luggage. Reviews highlight friendly reception staff, nearby cafes, bars and restaurants, and the included lobby coffee and pastry service. With its distinctive design, compact solo-room option, practical inclusions and position in Surry Hills, 57 Hotel suits solo, business and leisure travellers wanting to stay close to the neighbourhood’s food and nightlife.
