Harbour Rocks Hotel

What Harbour Rocks Hotel does

Harbour Rocks Hotel is a heritage-listed boutique hotel located at 34-52 Harrington Street in The Rocks precinct of Sydney, NSW, Australia, occupying a sandstone building originally constructed in 1887. The property operates within the Ode Hotels anthology, a curated collection of boutique hotels under EVT (Experience & Travel Group) that also includes The Old Clare Hotel in Sydney and The Inchcolm in Brisbane. The hotel offers 8 room categories — Heritage Queen, Heritage Accessible, Heritage Superior Twin/Queen/King, Heritage Deluxe King, Studio King Suite, and Harbour View Suite — with published rates starting from AU$239 per night.

The business generates revenue from three streams: accommodation, food and beverage operations, and event venue hire. Food and beverage includes Tayim (Middle Eastern restaurant), Eric's Bar, and in-room dining; venues include the Garden Terrace, Harbour View Suite, and Private Dining Room for corporate meetings, conferences, weddings, and private dining. As of the input date, the F&B venues are closed for refurbishment and the hotel is scheduled to fully close from 29 September 2026 for refurbishment. Distribution occurs via the Ode Hotels direct booking website, third-party OTAs, the EVT Stays loyalty program for accommodation, and the SevenRooms reservation platform for restaurants and events. Marketing is conducted through the Ode Hotels brand platform across web content, editorial Stories, Instagram, and Facebook.

The customer base comprises leisure travelers seeking heritage tourism experiences, corporate event organizers booking meetings and conferences, and wedding and social event hosts. Harbour Rocks Hotel has approximately 12 on-site employees and is wholly owned by EVT, a diversified Australian hospitality, entertainment, and leisure conglomerate that also operates Rydges, QT Hotels, Atura, and Event Hospitality & Entertainment venues across Australasia.
