Points of interest near Great Southern Hotel Sydney

Anzac Memorial

The monument was erected in 1934 to honour the Anzacs, soldiers of the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps, who served in World War I. The art-deco dome is dotted with exactly 120,000 stars—one for every person from New South Wales who served. The pines that grow at the southwest entry gate were planted from seeds harvested at Gallipoli. There’s a museum on site, as well as a lovely Rayner Hoff sculpture entitled ‘Sacrifice’.

Centennial Park

As Sydney’s largest park, Centennial covers 189 hectares with plenty of activities and wide-open spaces. The park has drawn both locals and visitors since its completion in 1888. There are wide, Victorian avenues for walking or jogging, horseback riding trails, ponds, statues, an outdoor theatre for summer concerts and the Royal Randwick Racecourse. The adjoining Queens Park lies at Centennial’s eastern edge and extends the space an additional 26 hectares.

Queen Victoria Building

Once slated for demolition, the Queen Victoria Building was beautifully restored in the 1980s and remains a stunning High Victorian architectural gem that dominates an entire city block. There are over 200 specialty shops featuring wrought iron details, copper domes, stained glass and mosaic tile floors. There is also a replica of Victoria’s crown jewels, a grand ballroom and 45-minute guided tours departing hourly.

Top Spot

Jan 2010 - Matt , NSW

Handy location to all Sydney's public transport. One block from Central station. We parked in a station around the corner and they stamped our ticket for a discount. They upgraded us on arrival without us asking for it. The room was large and comfortable. The staff were happy and helpful. There is a pub in the hotel for a quick drink before touring the city. The best spot for movies, theatre, Chinatown, nightlife and people watching.

Sep 2009 - Vicki, Batemans Bay NSW

My sister and I stayed a night to see a concert. We payed bargain basement price and it served our needs beautifully.

The room was small but clean and tidy with all amenities we required. The bed linen was very clean and crisp(5*****) My only negative comment is the shower recess could use a little more domestos and elbow grease.

Staff were very courteous and luggage hold facilities were very much appreciated. Will come back for sure if price is reasonable!!

Sep 2009 - Mike, Temuka, NZ

Look no further than the Great Southern if you want an economical stay in a fantastic location. We were a walk away from Chinatown, Paddy's Market, Darling Harbour, Central Station and St Peter Julian's Catholic Church!

The rooms were clean, quiet and the staff at reception were friendly and accommodating. We look forward to our next visit!

Jul 2009 - Anonymous, sydney

Overall great hotel, I got unlucky and my room was in front of 2 rooms that were under construction. So I got the smell of fresh paint for several days, the drilling noise, and always workers in front of room. plus they left a mess in the corridor.

Otherwise, good, but they charge you for internet, and the gym facilities. the breakfast is expensive and tasteless

Jul 2009 - Anonymous, Blacktown

I just loved this hotel, it was just in the best position for the Capitol Theatre, where we wanted to go. Very close to Chinatown and restaurants, the light rail and easy access to Darling Harbour etc, The rooms were very quiet and nicely decorated. And with buffet breakfast included, just perfect. I will definitely recommend The Great Southern Hotel to friends and hope to stay again myself, Thank you. K. R.
