Grounded on the sandy shoreline of one of Sydney’s most iconic harbour beaches, Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel sings out to those in search of endless summers, postcard panoramas and their speciality: unhurried happiness.
Chilled afternoons chinking glasses over seafood platters down by the waterfront; elegant escapes above in 32 light-bathed rooms and suites; and unforgettable parties raising the tempo under the stars. Blue harbour views by day, ultimate sunsets come dusk. Holiday for an hour, while away an afternoon, or lose yourself for days.
This is beach life, the Watsons way.
Loved for unforgettable weddings, life celebrations and inspiring team trips. We're a go-to for good times great and small, or just those moments that call for some seaside spirit. If you know Sydney, you know Watsons, and our parties are often the talk of the town – but somehow our beachside playground convinces you it’s yours alone to discover.
Arrive by land, or step in from the sand. Sail, ride or stroll. Wandering into Watsons is easy – and staying is a breeze.
