SYDNEY’S OLDEST CONTINUALLY LICENSED HOTEL.
SYDNEY’S OLDEST CONTINUALLY LICENSED HOTEL.
Let’s rewind… in 1836 raconteur, highway robber and reformed bootlegger, convict turned gentleman publican, William Wells built The Lord as his primary residence before, in 1841 pursuing his dream and obtaining a liquor licence to turn his home into a hotel. Fast forward to June 6th 1842 this stately Georgian home became The Lord Nelson Hotel.

However, this journey from home to hotel has not been without its tales adding to our history... in 1946 a group of sailors drank our hotel dry, a dream for sales but it came with a problem. We could not get a delivery from our suppliers for several days, devastating our trade. The solution? Brewing our own beers, in house. 40 years later we are still brewing our own ales in house that are full of flavour and character. Praise the lord.

A stay at The Lord is a real Sydney experience. Enjoy an Ale in our ground floor bar then dine in our 1st floor restaurant before heading back to your room on the top two levels of the pub.
Sightseeing is a breeze with Circular Quay just a stroll down the hill. From there you can gaze on the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, jump on a ferry to Manly or Taronga Zoo or a bus to Bondi Beach. If you would like to stay closer to home, Barangaroo Reserve and the Barangaroo restaurant precinct is in our backyard along with the swimming hole at Marrinawi Cove (aka The Lord’s in house swimming pool). Alternatively, Sydney’s CBD and Darling Harbour are around about a 15 minute stroll away.
Most activities centre around walking, sight-seeing and eating. The Rocks is Sydney's oldest preserved colonial district so the main emphasis is on the historical importance of the area, however it is also full of fabulous eating and boutique shopping opportunities. The Sydney Visitor Centre, Ground Level, Customs House at 31 Alfred Street, Circular Quay (open daily 9am to 5pm {Closed Good Friday and Christmas Day}) is the best place to start exploring the area.
