Relax fireside with a glass of red 

When the chill truly settles in, there’s nothing quite like the pull of a roaring fireplace, the clink of a full glass, and the friendly warmth of a Sydney pub to bring together mates old and new. And across the city, every fireside catch-up comes with a story – and sometimes a supernatural twist. In the heart of The Rocks, open fireplaces crackle on every floor of the 1843-built Hero of Waterloo, where a whiskey steak or grilled barramundi pairs perfectly with a Leonard Rd Shiraz and a rolling roster of live gigs. Stay late enough and you might even hear the ghost of Anne Kirkman stirring by the piano, or catch whispers about the pub’s secret tunnels, legendary smugglers and ill-fated sailors. Woolloomooloo’s Old Fitzroy Hotel also oozes old-school charm, with a lively front bar warmed by an inviting fireplace, and an impressive French-British-inspired bistro that plates up reinvented winter warmers like Wagyu cheeseburgers, Scotch eggs and lamb neck Provençal pie.
Over in Paddington, the Lord Dudley leans into its heritage feel, with timber-panelled lounges, a roaring fire, hearty pot pies, steaks, burgers and schnitzels, and the kind of laidback warmth that makes a chilled afternoon stretch out the way it should. And across The Bridge, The Foxtrot welcomes both North Sydney locals and visitors to a hidden cocktail lounge wrapped around a cosy fireplace, with a rotating list of craft beers and signature cocktails like the Whisky Tango Foxtrot and The Pav to bring the heat.

Warm up every winter’s night

Whether you’re cosying up after a day of Harbour City adventures or settling in for an evening with your chosen few, the simple pleasure of a fireplace transforms a winter stay into a soul-warming home away from home. If you’re keen to self-cater, Sydney’s Airbnb properties deliver stellar getaways with plenty of premium winter-warming amenities. For example, this welcoming one-bedroom Art Deco apartment not only offers all the inviting charms of yesteryear – including an atmospheric fireplace perfect for relaxing nights in – it’s set on the fourth floor of a landmark building with timber floors and manicured gardens, right on the doorstep of lively Potts Point. Over in Newtown, Hyacinth House lets you live out your Victorian-era daydreams with a chic refurbished fireplace to keep the heritage ambience alive while you curl up with a good book and brew. Or head to beachside Tamarama, where a stylish three-bedroom apartment crowns the coastal cliffs, features a modern indoor fireplace, and has floor-to-ceiling windows for uninterrupted views over the legendary Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk

Prefer a full-service winter stay? At Sir Stamford at Circular Quay, antique furnishings and an exceptional art collection set the decadent scene for fireside tipples and lavish high teas beneath soaring ceilings. Nearby, the Little National Hotel Sydney has a round rooftop fireplace flanked by oversized couches to level up every late-night catchup. And, for the ultimate winter indulgence, check into the Sydney Suite at the Park Hyatt Sydney, where your private fireplace, spa bath, steam room, and exclusive outdoor terrace present uninterrupted views of the Opera HouseHarbour BridgeLuna Park and Circular Quay – and a truly iconic stay to warm your heart, soul and inspiration.
