About this property
The Ultimo features modern accommodation in the vibrant Chinatown district. Constructed in 1911 as a key component in Haymarket’s transition to become Sydney’s fresh fruit market, the heritage-listed building is a reminder of Sydney’s bustling and vibrant commercial heritage which continues to this day. The Ultimo is just a 3-minute walk from bus and light rail stops. It is only a 5-minute walk from the Central Train Station, providing easy access to all of Sydney’s attractions After an extensive refurbishment in 2016, the hotel features 95 rooms across seven categories from cozy Ultimo single rooms to spacious Ultimo Courtyard rooms. (The Courtyard room type also welcomes your furry friends!). We provide complimentary WiFi, and a barista coffee station in the lobby to round up your stay at The Ultimo Hotel in Sydney’s vibrant Chinatown neighborhood.
