Situated in the heart of Surry Hills, Sydney, Crystalbrook Albion is an eclectic mix of heritage and contemporary detail true to its own DNA and that of Surry Hills. At our boutique hotel, we enjoy modern living through attitude, design, technology and a passion for a better world – or what we call #responsibleluxury. That means no plastic straws, water bottles or guest-room key cards; using technology to reduce paper, providing large-pump amenities bottles (saving more than 64,000 plastic bottles each year) and partnering with TerraCycle, OzHarvest and Containers for Change. Delightfully intimate, devastatingly gorgeous, genuinely original and refreshingly unpretentious, Crystalbrook Albion features 35 guest rooms (some which are pet-friendly!), a dedicated team of hosts on hand around the clock to offer individualised service, a rooftop garden oasis with views over Surry Hills and Sydney city and an honour bar featuring top-shelf beverages and gourmet nibbles. For something more substantial to indulge in, pop next door to Surry Hills' newest restaurant and bar, Shaffa. Crystalbrook Albion is housed within a unique heritage building full of history, dating back to its original construction in 1903 as a former school convent. The property was transformed into a modern boutique hotel in 2018, seamlessly merging a heritage-listed building with a new world of tantalising delights and surprises, largely influenced by 1920s and 1970s styles of interiors. The hotel is located in the buzzing inner Sydney suburb of Surry Hills, which is fast becoming a popular alternative to the CBD and home to some of Sydney's best food and beverage offerings such as Chin Chin, Firedoor and Nomad.
