Dominating the Katoomba skyline with its iconic chimney stack, The Carrington Hotel is the "Grand Old Lady" of the Blue Mountains. Opened in 1883 as the Great Western Hotel, this heritage-listed landmark was once the premier summer retreat for Sydney’s elite and remains the only 19th-century grand resort hotel still operating in New South Wales.
Stepping through its doors is a journey into art-deco opulence. The hotel features a magnificent Grand Dining Room with vaulted ceilings and stained glass, the cozy Champagne Charlie’s cocktail bar, and its own onsite brewery and brasserie housed in the Old City Bank building.
Whether you're staying in a regal suite or simply enjoying high tea by the fire, The Carrington serves as a timeless, elegant anchor of Katoomba township.
