The hotel rooftop bars in Sydney on the map
Good to know
These rooftops are inside hotels. Many welcome people who are not staying there, but not all of them: some keep access for hotel guests at certain times, in the evening or during private events. Getting up there usually means crossing the lobby and taking a dedicated elevator, sometimes with a check at the door. Smart casual dress is often expected. If you are not a guest, book a table where possible and check the official website for non-resident access, opening hours, which often change with the season, and whether the terrace closes in bad weather.
