In the bustling inner-city suburb of Surry Hills, Crystalbrook Albion combines luxury with cosy home comforts. Cats and dogs are welcome in the simple yet elegant "Urban" rooms for an extra $130. Each room features heritage windows and a blend of dramatic and textured decor, inspired by the 1920s and 1970s—think retro boutique chic.

Binge your favourite show on the 55" Smart TV, enjoy an evening drink among the olive trees on the rooftop garden, or explore the vibrant local restaurant scene. The choice is yours! All pet-friendly rooms are on the ground floor for easy access to the outside. Beds, water bowls, and food bowls are provided and there are several parks and dog-friendly cafes nearby.

For dinner, enjoy a festival of Italian flavours at Gowings Bar & Grill.
