Hotels in Ultimo | Party Hero

Choosing a Hotel for Your Event

Ultimo is the stretch of city between Central and Darling Harbour, where UTS and the Powerhouse Museum share the streets with converted warehouses. For a visitor coming in for a conference at ICC Sydney, a harbourside wedding reception or a milestone dinner in town, it works as a practical middle ground: the convention centre is within walking range, trains at Central and the light rail are both close, and Broadway's shops are handy. Parking is limited and paid, so the train is usually the simpler way in.

Two hotels are listed in the suburb, and they suit different travellers:

Vulcan Hotel is family-owned and runs inside an 1894 heritage-listed former pub on Wattle Street, with continental breakfast included in every booking.
Veriu Broadway fills a converted federation warehouse on Mountain Street that once worked as a leather tannery, and every suite has its own kitchen.
For one person, the Vulcan's compact Shoebox King Single fits the bill; for couples or a trio, Veriu Broadway's entry suites of 38 square metres take up to three.
Groups of four can take the Vulcan Loft with a kitchenette and a table for four, or Balcony Suite 314 with two king beds and a view over the city.
Families of up to six can book adjoining suites at Veriu Broadway, two suites behind a shared entrance with two bathrooms and two kitchens.

Veriu Broadway publishes a rate from $314 per night, while Vulcan Hotel prices by room and date, so enquire directly. Vulcan Hotel puts Central about 15 minutes away on foot and Veriu Broadway gives it as a little over 900 metres, so the airport train home is easy from either. The two also differ in feel: the Vulcan is small, quiet and run by its owners, while Veriu Broadway is closer to living in a city apartment for a few nights.

Vulcan Hotel includes a continental buffet breakfast with every room, and has Cafe Vulcan downstairs and a landscaped courtyard.
Kitchens in Veriu Broadway suites include a cooktop, cookware and a full-size fridge, and a washer, dryer and dishwasher feature in most.
The Hide, the cafe inside the Veriu Broadway building, covers coffee for anyone not cooking.
Every Vulcan room is ensuited with a smart TV and free wifi, and a lift serves the upper floors.

Walking to events from Ultimo

Veriu Broadway gives ICC Sydney as just over 900 metres on foot, and Vulcan Hotel describes the convention centre as walking distance as well.
Broadway Shopping Centre sits roughly 220 metres from Veriu Broadway, useful for a last-minute gift or a forgotten tie.
Buses stop on Broadway and Harris Street near Vulcan Hotel for trips further across town.
Veriu Broadway lends complimentary bikes, an easy way to reach Darling Harbour on a fine afternoon.

Common Questions About Event Stays

Where do guests at Ultimo hotels park?

Vulcan Hotel has no car park on site, but guests get a negotiated rate at the UTS car park in Thomas Street. Veriu Broadway sells a discounted 24-hour exit ticket at reception for the Broadway Shopping Centre car park.

Which Ultimo hotel suits a family of five or six?

Veriu Broadway is the one for bigger families: its Quad Suite takes up to five, and the Superior Two Bedroom adjoining suites reach 104 square metres for six. Vulcan Hotel's rooms top out at four guests.

Is breakfast included at hotels in Ultimo?

At Vulcan Hotel, yes, a continental buffet breakfast comes with every room booking. Veriu Broadway gives you a kitchen to make your own, with The Hide cafe in the building as an alternative.

Is Ultimo a sensible base for a multi-day conference at ICC Sydney?

It is one of the closest bases to the convention centre, with both listed hotels within walking distance of ICC Sydney. A suite with a kitchen at Veriu Broadway also cuts down on eating out over several days of sessions.
