The Carrington is old world charm. Whilst it is an old hotel it seems to have been well cared for. The room was huge and well decorated with a feeling of luxury. It is well situated at the top of small hill on the main road and a short walk to all shops, restaurants etc. The staff were pleasant but... More

Stunning hotel. So much history, in such beautiful condition, rooms lovely. If only the sense of grandeur and tradition could be matched by the staff. Unfortunately the interest level here is zilch. The way we were treated on check-in, in the bar and virtually kicked out of the dining room at 9pm and refused dessert was akin to a scene... More

We stayed in their King bedroom on the second floor. The room was reasonable good, no issues. The building restoration and furnishings is exceptional. Their Norman Lindsay theme with his etchings was a delight. Off street parking was good. Their Old Bank Restaurant that is separate from the Hotel was very good. The buffet breakfast was OK and part of... More

We have been going to Katoomba on the same weekend every year for the past 5 years. The first three were at a hotel closer to the Three Sisters. On the Friday and Saturday night each year, we would walk up to the Carrington to start the night off with a couple of drinks. The bar and lounge area are... More

A real step back in time in terms of style. Really expected Miss Marple to come in to the breakfast room each morning. Great location for visiting the Blue Mountains. Large room on the front of the hotel with use of the shared balcony over the entrance. Comfortable and spacious. Breakfast wasn't great. On 2nd morning we were quiet early... More

I stayed at The Carrington Hotel for a conference for 3 nights. Initially I was surprised at how old the hotel was (I hadn't done any research on accomodation as the conference was at the hotel), but found the rooms surprisingly comfortable. The rooms were large and light, the bed and pillows were comfortable, the room temperature perfect, and although... More

I stayed here for three days. The hotel is unique and worth a visit. The lifts are difficult to manage. There is no room service. Housekeeping was minimal, for example my dresser was not dusted and the shower did not appear to have been cleaned. On the positive side the rooms are large and bright. There are lots of sitting...

We stay regularly at The Carrington to celebrate anniversaries and birthdays, we have stayed in the full range of rooms and suites (except the Lord carrington, but it is on our list) and again, she never disappoints. Like all Grand old ladies she sometimes shows her age, her creaks and her age lines but like all grand old ladies you... More

We recently stayed at the Carrington to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary. As always, it was a lovely and special experience. Dinner in the Grand Dining Room was delicious, the décor is beautiful and old world, the massage and facial provided by Elantra was so relaxing (she even managed to fix my bad knee), and the staff were friendly,...
