Overview
Nestled in the heart of the vibrant township of Katoomba, Hotel Blue embodies the unique atmosphere of the Blue Mountains region. Since the early decades of the last century, Hotel Blue has seen Katoomba emerge from its roots as a service town for local coal, oil shale and gold mining operations, and grow into the unofficial capital of the Blue Mountains, a hub of activity that not only attracts tourists from around the globe, but also draws Sydneysiders whose favourite retreat is the serenity of the deep blue hills, or travellers who come to explore the myriad of antique and vintage emporiums, wander through the local art galleries and enjoy the thriving live music scene. Still only a stone?s throw from the World Heritage-listed landscapes that have enchanted generations of visitors, Hotel Blue continues to offer the gracious hospitality and warm, personal service of a real nineteen-twenties guesthouse, against a backdrop of period architecture and d?cor.
Conveniently situated half-way between the town centre and the world-famous Three Sisters, Hotel Blue is the perfect base from which to explore the town and soak up the majestic beauty of the Mountains. No matter where you venture, Hotel Blue won?t be far away, being only five minutes? walk from the central shopping and dining districts, and only ten minutes? stroll from Echo Point?s World Heritage-listed views of the iconic Three Sisters and the impossibly blue Jamison Valley.
After a long day of sight-seeing, shopping and exploring, return to the Hotel and bask in front of an open log fire in our Guest Lounge, enjoy a game of pool or cards, or unwind in our indoor pool and heated spa. Refresh yourself with a relaxing drink in the Parlour Bar or a hearty meal in our Sisters Blue Restaurant. At the end of the evening, our comfortable guest rooms await you, each equipped with a private en suite, AUSTAR cable television, WiFi internet access, in-room heating, bar fridge and tea/coffee-making facilities.
Whether you're looking for a romantic setting for a wedding, a relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle or simply a base from which to explore the magic of the Blue Mountains, allow yourself to step back into yesteryear and you?re sure to be charmed by Hotel Blue?s Old Century Guesthouse hospitality.
SISTERS BLUE RESTAURANT
An aura of elegance sets the tone for the Hotel?s formal dining room. Elegantly presented and overlooking Katoomba's historic Lurline Street, SISTERS BLUE offers ? la carte dining with an ever-evolving menu skilfully tailored to the season and featuring a myriad of local ingredients and produce. To complement this fine menu is a wine list featuring an extensive selection from the hotel's wine cellar.
THE PARLOUR BAR
The French term 'Parlour' signifies an 'audience-chamber', where guests are to be received and welcomed. In our intimate Parlour Bar, with its hand-carved wooden panels and period d?cor, enjoy a wide selection of beverages, wines and spirits, both from Australia and abroad, but particularly featuring the produce of local vineyards and breweries.
