FORGET THE ECONOMIC CRISIS – ACCOR OFFERS FAMILY ROOMS WITH SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE AND HARBOUR BRIDGE VIEWS FOR JUST $79

With the economic crisis forcing many to tighten their belts financially, Accor’s pioneering Formule 1 brand offers the perfect solution for an affordable Sydney getaway, with family rooms in its Kings Cross hotel from just $79 per room per night. Best of all, many rooms boast ‘million dollar’ views of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge – views that at other hotels would command room rates of hundreds of dollars and more.

One of the first new hotels to be built in Kings Cross in over a decade, the Formule 1 is conveniently located on William Street, just a short walk to the city centre and the restaurants of Surry Hills, Oxford Street and East Sydney. It is also just a stroll from Hyde Park, the Cook and Philip Aquatic Centre, and the Australian Museum – the oldest museum in Australia and a must-see for families visiting the city.

Formule 1 is one of the fastest-growing hotel brands in Australia and is renowned worldwide for setting new benchmarks for quality budget accommodation, with convenient, clean and affordable rooms in sought-after locations, close to airports, transport and food outlets.

With huge savings on accommodation, staying with Formule 1 means families have more money for activities, meals and entertainment. There are also plenty of options for free or cheap family entertainment close by, including visiting Government House, taking a walk through the Royal Botanical Gardens, spending a morning exploring the history and attractions of Circular Quay or visiting Paddington Markets. In addition, the hotel is just a short drive from some of Sydney’s best beaches including Bondi, Coogee and Maroubra. In fact, with a train station just a short walk away and buses passing right near the door, all of Sydney’s attractions are easily accessible.

Family rooms feature a double bed plus two bunks, private ensuite bathroom, air conditioning and television.
