Hotels in Manly | Party Hero

Choosing a Hotel for Your Event

Three hotels line the Manly beachfront, each suited to a different guest. Manly has the harbour on one side and the ocean on the other; regular and fast ferries link Manly Wharf with Circular Quay, and The Corso runs from the wharf across to the surf beach, so guests can come from the city without a car. Summer parking is tight, which makes a hotel with its own car park worth having if you do drive.

Which Manly hotel fits which kind of guest:

Elysium Manly on North Steyne is the largest, with 213 rooms, a rooftop magnesium pool and the 500-guest Pacific Ballroom, with rates that start from $599 per night.
Peppers Manly Beach is a small 22-room hotel at 8 South Steyne, with ocean-view studios for two and one-bedroom apartments for up to three.
The Sebel Sydney Manly Beach, at the southern end of the beach, gives every one of its 83 rooms a private balcony and has two outdoor pools.
Families of five fit the Family Suite at the Sebel or Peppers' Fairy Bower Suite, and the Coastal Three Bedroom Suite at Elysium sleeps eight.
Guests at a wedding held in a hotel can sleep where it happens, since Elysium and the Sebel both host weddings.

At Peppers, check-in is from 3pm and check-out by 11am, so a guest landing on the morning of an afternoon ceremony may prefer to arrive the night before. The Sebel has no kitchen in its suites, but Manly Wine is downstairs; Elysium has Cibaria and the 55 North bar; the Peppers apartments come with a kitchenette. For parking, Elysium offers self-parking and valet under a 2.1 metre height limit, the Sebel has 40 indoor spaces open around the clock, and Peppers' Fairy Bower Suite comes with free parking.

The Manly ferry from Circular Quay takes about 20 minutes, and Elysium is roughly 8 to 10 minutes on foot from the wharf via The Corso.
The Sebel puts the regular ferry at about 30 minutes and the fast ferry at about 20.
The drive from Sydney Airport runs roughly 40 to 50 minutes; Elysium's VIP Services can book a private transfer and the Sebel arranges a paid airport shuttle.
Guests driving in summer should use hotel parking rather than rely on the streets behind the beach.

Getting ready by the water in Manly

Elysium rooms have blackout curtains and a Nespresso machine, and most have a balcony or terrace.
Superior Studios at the Sebel measure 43 square metres with a king bed and a partial ocean view, room for three.
Studios at Peppers, about 30 square metres, fit two on a queen with a sofa bed as a spare, and look over the ocean.
A concierge and porter look after arrivals at Peppers, and its dry-cleaning service can rescue an outfit that needs attention.
