Sydney City Guide - Boutique Hotels and the Best Restaurants, Bars and Clubs in Sydney

Hg2's Sydney city guide explores boutique hotels and the best restaurants, as well as bars, clubs, shops, sights and spas.

Say g'day to one of the most ridiculously good-looking cities in the world. With its surf beaches, outrageously beautiful harbour and bronzed, laissez-fare locals, Sydney is Australia's show pony - a sexy temptress offering good times and fun in the sun. Aside from dazzling good looks, there's more to the city than the Harbour Bridge, the Opera House and Bondi Beach. Over the past few years, Sydney has developed into a world-class, cosmopolitan hotspot with plenty of top-notch bars, restaurants and culture to amuse even the most finicky hedonist. Quaff cocktails at an achingly hip waterfront bar, sift through fashionable threads at boutiques in inner-city suburbs, or get salty, sandy and sun-kissed at one of 37 beaches.
