8HOTELS brings insanely instagrammable guesthouse to Sydney

We don’t want to alarm you, but the latest addition to the 8HOTELS portfolio is possibly the prettiest, most Instagrammable small hotel we’ve ever seen.

See? We told you.

The uber funky 35-room Little Albion Guest House, located in Sydney’s Surry Hills, has officially opened its doors.

Created by boutique hotel company, 8HOTELS, Little Albion is “the world’s most luxurious guest house meeting the every desire of the modern guest.”

“Delightfully intimate, devastatingly gorgeous, genuinely original and refreshingly unpretentious, Little Albion is the embodiment of the local guesthouse experience reimagined for the modern luxury traveller.” the company said in a statement.

The property was designed and developed by 8HOTELS and Builder / Designer Connie Alessi, in consultation with Cressida Kennedy, and is largely influenced by 1920s and 1970s styles, merging a heritage listed building with new construction.

The concept came about after researching hotels through the ages. From the very first kind, the ryokan (a traditional Japanese inn dating back to the eighth century AD) to the modern big box branded hotels of the 80’s, followed by the explosion of boutique offerings and finally through to the innovation of the Airbnb platform.

Paul Fischmann, Founder and CEO of 8Hotels said, “Little Albion Guest House was created with the needs of today’s luxury travellers in the front of our minds, which are the authenticity of a local experience, alongside world-class boutique hotel service and ease of booking.”

“To do this we had to redefine the whole hotel category by imagining a modern guest house, developed with the same attention to detail that a homeowner has in creating their dream home, resulting in this truly one of a kind property.”

Little Albion will have a dedicated team of hosts led by boutique hotel guru and genuine Surry Hills local, Wendy Morris, who will be on hand around the clock to offer individualised service. The guest house will also feature an honour bar stocked with top-shelf beverages and gourmet nibbles where guests are encouraged to help themselves as they would at home.

And look! They even have some delightful illustrations of the interior. In case the obscenely beautiful photos weren’t enough for you.

Presidential - faded edge

Little Albion has joined forces with revolutionary accommodation provider Airbnb to be the first ‘hotel’ that can be exclusively booked out via the Airbnb platform. The property is available to be booked out as a ‘whole hotel’, with prices starting from $15,000 per night on the Airbnb platform.
