Rocks Markets
Did you know that the Harbour Rocks Hotel is located within walking distance from the Rocks food market? Each weekend talented people from all over the city and the surrounding area come together and create a place where everyone is welcomed. That place is the Rocks market, where you can find everything from handcrafted jewellery, high-quality textiles, unique homewares, local art, beauty products and a wide selection of food. The Harbour Rocks Hotel just so happens to be in the centre of that vibrant culture.
If you want to explore the market, the most prudent and cost-effective way to do that is to book a room somewhere nearby. At the Harbour Rocks Hotel, we can offer you rooms and suites that are comfortable, elegant and freshly refurbished, so your stay with us will be delightful. Furthermore, our staff is very professional and helpful, so if you need directions or some local insider tips, they will offer you their advice.
You can make a reservation for one of our Heritage rooms, which come in three different sizes, standard, superior and deluxe. Each of them features a king size bed, and all of them are decorated with warm, pastel colours and local art pieces. The lighting in the rooms is soft and complementary to the character of the rooms.
If you’re looking for a more spacious place, we can offer you the studio suite, which functions as an apartment with a lounge area which has an extra double sofa bed. Our best-seller is the suite with a view! The Harbour view suite is luxurious and located on the top floor of the hotel. Once you go out on the terrasse, the panorama in front of you includes the Circular Quay in Sydney Harbour and the Sydney Opera House. Moreover, the suite features a large separate bedroom with a king sized bed, open plan lounge with double sofa bed, dining area and a deluxe bathroom.
Additionally, all the great tourist attraction in the city are close by, so you won’t have to go far to admire the Sydney Opera House or the Harbour Bridge. The Rocks area is trendy, artsy and sophisticated, so you’ll be able to find restaurants, cafés and shopping streets just around the corner of the hotel.
The food market in Sydney
Let’s focus on the food market in Sydney. It’s located next to the CBD area, and it’s close to the ferries and trains of Circular Quay. Every Friday, locals and tourists come to this spot to enjoy in the sights, scents and sounds of street food. Melbourne has the Food Truck Park, Sydney has the Rocks food market.
The historical significance of the place is also impressive since this is the oldest present in the city, where cobblestone streets are still a welcomed sight. The rich and diverse culture is seen everywhere, including the food selection. Sydney’s rich and varied cultural heritage brings out the best possible mixes and fusions of spices, ingredients, flavours and recipes. It’s rather easy to find something for everyone in the market.
What’s more, you can find other pleasures besides food. There are musical shows and eccentric shops that sell decorative paintings or locally-designed fashion. If you’re committed in your search, you can even find unique, one-off items in some of the stalls scattered around the market.
