Once the playground of bohemians, artists, and the rich and famous, Potts Point is brimming with stunning examples of Victorian and Art Deco architecture. From beautiful tree-lined avenues to winding streets down to parks and marinas overlooking Sydney harbour, this is a fantastic suburb to explore on foot.

This elegant and sophisticated neighbourhood with a distinctly European feel still retains some of its original glamour and reminders of its glitzy past. The nearby red-light district may be gone but a lively nightlife and vibrant dining scene remains. Hip cafes, organic delicatessens, quirky cocktail bars and eclectic boutique shopping are plentiful, making Potts Point a truly cosmopolitan destination.

With its own Parisian charm, Hotel Challis Potts Point sits on the elegant Challis Avenue. The boutique hotel offers a variety of beautifully styled rooms in a wonderful heritage-listed building.

For those looking for more budget-friendly boutique accommodation, The Jensen Potts Point delivers concept urban accommodation in a stunning art deco building. Possibly the closest to trendy West Village you’ll find outside of New York.
