We were looking forward to a mid week stay for my birthday. At $210 a night, not much cheaper than Lillanfels, we were expecting a little bit of luxury. Whilst we can respect that this is a heritage building and the commitment to staying true to the period, we felt that some of the finishes in the room could have... More

I returned home from a relaxing weekend in the Blue Mountains. I took advantage of a special package on the Getaway Lounge and it was money well spent. Check in was simple. The staff gave us detailed instructions on getting to our rooms for the 2 nights. We weren't brave enough to try the ancient elevator so we decided to... More

We recently got married at the Carrington and we just had the best possible experience ever, my husband and I feel so lucky to have had our wedding and reception at such a special place. The spa package that we had the day before the wedding was lovely and relaxing, and the room that we stayed in (the Lord Carrington... More

We stayed at the Carrington for one night and wish I had more time so I could have stayed for longer. The Hotel is unique and has that colonial feel to it. Loved the rooms and the beautiful furniture and the spa. It is also close walk to restaurants and shops and also about 30min walk to the look-out points... More

The Carrington is amazingly restored with lots if lounges and fireplaces in a grand setting. We booked late so our rooms were the standard spa but very comfortable. Breakfast was included and was set in the grand ball room and with a great buffet of freshly baked croissants and breads. The hotel is in a fab location near lots of... More

We stayed at The Carrington for one night on our way to Sydney from western New South Wales. It's a massive old place with history to burn. It has lovely stained glass work on the front terrace, a cute little champagne bar, a library and billards room to explore. We paid $150 for one of the traditional rooms. It had... More

Went midweek for the Mountain Rejuvenation package - two nights plus dinner and cocktails. Good value all up. Loved that it was so close to the station - actually just across the road and in the heart of Katoomba. Beautiful old place with lovely furnishings. The cocktail bar and grand dining room are really lovely to sit in. The beds... More

We stayed here for 2 nights, friendly efficient check-in, spacious room & bathroom with jacuzzi bath with lovely views of the mountains from bedroom. Quirky hotel that echoes back to a victorian era in the main areas of the hotel, we had excellent cocktails in the bar both nights made by friendly bar staff. Breakfast was good. We ate, both...

I do love a bit of ambience.. And The Carrington is all that. Yes, the details are a little old, like cracked bathroom tiles, but it's clean and personable and the perfect stopover for a Blue Mts weekend. This is the 2nd time we've stayed and it doesnt disappoint.
