Kimpton Margot Sydney by IHG
Art-Deco charm and a nightly Social Hour in the CBD
About this hotel
The Art-Deco lobby sets the tone from check-in, all marble Scagliola pillars and plush furnishings a few streets back from Hyde Park. Days start with a la carte breakfast at Luke's Kitchen and end at The Wilmot bar or the evening Social Hour, where cocktails and CBD tips flow freely among guests. Rooms and suites lean premium, with oversized bathrooms, organic cotton robes and Australian-made toiletries throughout. Complimentary Kimpton Lekker bikes make the Queen Victoria Building and Chinatown an easy loop rather than a taxi ride, and the whole stay reads more like a considered boutique address than a standard CBD tower. Guests looking for a quiet, low-key stay may find the Social Hour format more social than they'd prefer.
- CBD-centre address
- Evening Social Hour
- Complimentary bikes
- Art-Deco interiors
Our take
This suits couples and solo travellers who want a boutique CBD base with a built-in social scene rather than a large resort. The Social Hour and bikes reward guests happy to mix with others. Anyone wanting a quiet, anonymous stay or a harbourfront view should look toward Circular Quay instead.
- Book a premium room for the oversized bathroom, standard rooms are noticeably smaller here
- Show up to Social Hour on arrival night for quick, useful CBD tips from staff
- Use the included bikes for Hyde Park rather than booking a taxi for such a short trip
Why we love it

Why guests love itKimpton Margot Sydney is an Art-Deco boutique hotel in the CBD, with marble Scagliola pillars that make the lobby worth a look. Premium rooms and suites have oversized bathrooms, useful when bathing young children. Complimentary bikes suit older children and parents, and the evening Social Hour in the lobby bar is a relaxed adult moment. Hyde Park and the Queen Victoria Building are a short walk away. A 9.0 score from 950 reviews is solid.
