Town Hall Sydney
Chinatown Hyde Park Darlinghurst
Chinatown Hyde Park Darlinghurst may not be as well known as other Sydney icons, however it’s the area where I like to stay when I visit Sydney. In fact this is not in any of those districts mentioned in the title, it is right in the city centre, Chinatown is 3 blocks further down George St.
Relax among the skyscrapers around Chinatown Hyde Park Darlinghurst
Walking from Town Hall to Chinatown nestled among the tall buildings are many places where people can relax & eat lunch.

View from the Laughing Buddha bar.
I would sit in this bar at happy hour and watch the passing parade before wandering down to Chinatown for dinner.
The Laughing Buddha.
Friendly little bar next to Chinatown on the corner of Liverpool & George St Sydney.
Corner Campbell & George St Sydney.
Capital Square Hotel is in this building and is very good value, rooms are quite good and there is a Starbucks downstairs where you can access free wifi. The hotel charges an outrageous amount for their wifi.
Pensione hotel in George St.
Pensione is another good value hotel with free wifi and a good bar on the ground floor. Rooms are rather small but the location is terrific, you walk out the back door and you are in Chinatown.
