About our services

The Heritage Hughenden (circa 1870s) at the crossroads of Paddington and Woollahra is a warm and welcoming, gracefully restored boutique hotel.

Visitors can linger for an hour or a day before exploring the galleries, cafes, markets of this historic area. At the Hughenden people meet over coffee and a meal or just enjoy a glass of wine or listen to Sir Victor playing the baby grand on Friday and Saturday evenings.

During the day, dog lovers sit with their puppy behind the fleur-de-lis wrought iron fence while enjoying cake and coffee and watching Queen Street pass by.

The Hughenden is one of the few hotels where pets can actually stay overnight. There is Centennial Parklands across the road for playtime with a leash-free area, pets can even be a guest at your civil ceremony.

As Sydney's premier Pet Friendly hotel, the Hughenden is dedicated to ensuring your stay is as comfortable as possible.

With our dedicated pet friendly rooms with private courtyard or glass atrium your 'best friend' will be able to enjoy their holiday with you.

Special areas are set aside in Quaife's Restaurant so you and your best friend can join for dinner.
