Hotel Woolstore 1888 - Handwritten Collection
None of which would matter if all the social-futuristic eccentricities weren’t backed by a comfortable, well-run hotel in a good location. And they are. Hotel Woolstore 1888 sits just on the far side of Darling Harbour, near both the Sydney Fish Market and Convention Center, in Pyrmont. Though it’s a short trip from downtown, the blocks around the hotel have a low-key neighborhood feel, with plenty of good, locals-oriented bars and restaurants.
The rooms start out small — in a charming moment of self-awareness, the entry-level one is called the Shoebox — but they’re well put together, with high ceilings, cloud-like beds and plenty of sunlight. Sound-proofed period windows and desks built from timbers salvaged during renovation serve as reminders of the building’s industrial past, without making it feel too much like you’re sleeping in the 19th-century wool factory that this used to be. At the top of the scale, those shoeboxes turn into spacious, multi-level suites, one with its own private entrance (through a pair of ornate, gigantic blue doors), and one with a private roof terrace. And in every room, the technology skews toward the genuinely useful — not a mess of remotes or mood-guessing avant-garde light shows, but free wi-fi, pre-loaded iPads, and big, smart televisions.
In short, it’s an experience worth sharing — whether with a pair of new friends from the restaurant/kitchen/lobby/bar, or with ten thousand of your closest digital admirers.

Good vibe in lobby

The staff were super duper helpful. The breakfast in the hotel lobby's restaurant was amazing (I tried 3 different dishes during my stay). The lobby was a very lovely lounging space for coffee, happy hour, reading a book, meeting colleagues.

GOOD POSITION AND EXCELLENT SERVICE

Great atmosphere, friendly attentive staff, totally cool fit out and fantastic perks.
