Silkari The Charrington at Chatswood

Silkari The Charrington at Chatswood is a 4-star Victorian boutique hotel in a quiet, leafy part of Chatswood, Sydney. The property has been refurbished to retain its period character while adding modern conveniences and personalised service. It offers a calmer base than a large city hotel, while still placing guests within a short stroll of Chatswood’s cafés, restaurants, shopping centres and transport hub.

Accommodation is arranged across several heritage-style room categories. The Heritage Queen Room includes a queen bed, air conditioning, television, private bathroom with walk-in shower, balcony, Wi-Fi and tea and coffee-making facilities. Garden-facing rooms open towards the property’s greenery, while the Deluxe and Superior Queen Rooms offer larger balconies; the Superior room also includes a lounge area and a multi-function room with a sink. Families and small groups can consider the Heritage Garden Family Queen Room, which has a queen bed and a second queen or king single bed in a separate sleeping space. All rooms are accessed by stairs, so this is an important practical detail for guests with mobility requirements.

A complimentary light continental breakfast is served in the ground-floor Courtyard Café. The self-serve selection includes cereal, toast and spreads, fresh fruit, yoghurt, tea and coffee, giving guests an easy start before exploring the North Shore or heading into the city. Wi-Fi, air conditioning and in-room tea and coffee-making facilities are included. Corporate travellers may also be eligible for complimentary morning and evening transfers to Delhi Road and Lane Cove Business Parks, subject to the hotel’s conditions and availability.

The location suits a range of stays. The Chatswood bus interchange, train station and metro station are about 550 metres away, or roughly an eight-minute walk, while the hotel states that Sydney’s CBD is around 15 minutes away. The nearby Concourse offers live arts and entertainment, and Chatswood’s shopping precinct includes Chatswood Chase and Westfield Chatswood. Guests can also use the hotel as a base for exploring wider Sydney attractions such as Balmoral Beach and Luna Park. The property’s DreamGreen eco-friendly bedding reflects Silkari Hotels’ stated focus on reducing environmental impact, adding a sustainability consideration to its traditional accommodation style.
