Staying at Crystalbrook Albion with Your Dog

Crystalbrook Albion doesn’t feel like a traditional hotel — it feels more like you’ve stepped into the home of a stylish local who knows how to blend old character with modern comfort. The former convent has been reimagined as a boutique retreat, with design details that nod to its heritage while leaning into bold, contemporary flair. For dog owners, that mix of intimacy and personality is what sets it apart.

The pet-friendly Urban rooms on the ground floor open directly onto the outdoors, making life easy for early-morning bathroom breaks or late-night strolls. Hardwood floors, generous space, and thoughtfully placed pet beds and bowls mean you don’t need to worry about the little details — they’re already taken care of. While your pup settles in, you’ll notice the eclectic touches that make each room feel different: artwork, textures, and a sense of place that connects back to the Surry Hills streets outside.

Step beyond the Albion’s doors and you’re instantly part of one of Sydney’s most dog friendly neighbourhoods. Morning walks can take you through Harmony Park or Prince Alfred Park, while afternoons are best spent weaving between café courtyards and shaded beer gardens. There’s a relaxed, lived-in energy here — the kind that makes travelling with a dog not just possible, but enjoyable. Staying at Crystalbrook Albion feels like slipping into the rhythm of Surry Hills life, with your pup right alongside you.
