It is boutique Sydney at its most charming and photogenic.
Ovolo Woolloomooloo transforms the historic Finger Wharf — the longest timber-piled wharf in the world — into a design-forward hotel that champions sustainability and plant-based living as core brand values.

Loft-style rooms with harbour views and complimentary evening drinks make this a standout.
